Committee Reports:
Park Committee: Lions Doro, Spranger and Boedeker are working on acquiring new tables and 72 chairs for the new building. The Village is agreeable to working with us on the cost and the disposition of the existing pieces. Carpet has been installed and looks great. We are still in need of a gas stove.
State Bowling: Lion President Doro will contact Men. Falls and Butler for fill-ins for bowling.
Pancake Breakfast: Lion President Doro recommended that we start selling place mat ad space now. Lion Spagl voiced some concern about starting this early. Generally this is a March and April task.
Old Business:
Eight interest forms for Officer positions and Committee Chair positions have been returned. Every member is expected to turn in a form. These forms will be kept on file for future reference.
The club does not have a formal application form for high school seniors to submit for scholarship consideration. This may change.
New Business:
“Youth Education and Safety” (Y.E.S.) has solicited us for a donation. It was agreed that our charities for the year have been decided.
Several members met recently at the new building to establish rental fees and hours of operation. Lion President Doro shared the details with the group. It was decided that smoking will NOT be allowed. Nothing has been decided yet on who will run the concession stand. The Stonemen will continue to do their own “concessions”. The Village sets the usage fees for the ball fields. Schneider Field is expected to be in use almost every evening. If the Lions chose to use the building on a game might, parking could be problematic. In the near future, we will likely sell advertising on fence signs. The proceeds can be used to replace some of the lights which are quite old. Lion President Doro will be meeting again soon with the Village Board.
Mark your calendars:
Monday March 19th is a mandatory dinner meeting. We will induct a new member at this meeting.
At 7:30, Lion Boedeker motioned to adjourn the meeting. It was followed with a second by Lion Spagl. Motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,
Lion Secretary Sandy Burkhalter
