Calendar Fund Raiser: For the past several years our Club has partnered with the Cucamonga District Host Lions, Chino Valley Lions and the Ontario/Upland Lions Clubs to sell Calendars, which are used in drawings for cash prizes and the net profit is split among the Clubs. Lion Tina brought up that it is time for us to decide whether we are going to participate again this year. The Club voted to participate again this year. Lion Tina will discuss with the other Clubs.

New Business:
President Jim K. has asked, recently, about the status of our Club's Banner, He would like for us to start using it at our meetings and other Club activities. The Banner is in storage in the hanger and the stand is broken. Lion Keith volunteered to repair the Banner stand.

The Club discussed the Chaffey Community Center as an ongoing service project. There are all sorts of service functions our Club could provide, from landscape maintenance to building maintenance (janitorial) to office work. A motion was made, seconded and approved to work at the Community Center two days per month. At 9:30 AM on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month members of our Club will be knocking on the Centers door to volunteer our services for whatever they need.

While discussing the Chaffey Community Center it was mention that 3 Boy Scouts, from Troops we sponsor, have taken on the Community Center as their Eagle Scout Project. These Scouts are anxious to get started but they don't have the tools they need to fulfill their plans. They have asked for donations to help them buy the proper tools they need.
