Since Rodeo City BBQ will be closed then due to vacations, Dick will check with the Wings Central’s Roadhouse Grill (101 Umptanum Road, 925-7200) to see if room is available for our June 24th meeting. Dick will let folks know and Bob Wagner will contact Bill Sheperd.

The sign-up sheet for Indian John Hill rest stop was distributed. Wayne will e-mail schedule out to members to sign-up for particular times once they have a chance to review their calendars. Need a project chair; may need to coordinate with Rodeo City Kiwanis.

3. Meeting Place Plaque.
Wayne will get a new plaque to hang at Rodeo City BBQ reflecting the new meeting dates: second and fourth Tuesdays.

4. Club Screening Forms.
There is a concern that 3rd party screeners are not screening eye glass exam/glasses request thoroughly enough or on the club’s behalf…since there has been approximately 3 patients out of the dozen or so who had insurance. The screening committee will review the applications and make the necessary corrections to ensure the club is funding those who meet our intent. Sarah, Bob Titus and Byron Thomas will meet, change, and present new forms at the next meeting.

There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
