Highlights from the Fall F1 Zone Meeting
Lions Bob Wagner and Sarah Storrs attended the F1 Zone meeting in Naches September 24th. All clubs in our Zone except for Terrace Heights and Yakima had representatives.
The main action items were as follows:
1) Ideas for and selection of a Zone Project.
The two proposed ideas were collection of aluminum pull tabs for the Spokane Ronald McDonald House (RMH) and sponsoring a guide dog for a blind person (which is about $40,000). After some discussion, a motion was made and passed to take on a Zone-wide collection of the tabs. Each club will have a lead person for this project--the main work involved is to make and distribute collection containers, and then periodically empty them. The tabs will get forwarded to one of the Spokane clubs. The RMH affiliated with Seattle Children's was also mentioned as a beneficiary of our collection efforts, but we later found out they don't participate in the pull-tab program.
2) Ellensburg will be hosting the Winter Zone Meeting, Tuesday December 9th, 6:30 pm.
It will be at Rodeo City BBQ (and happens to be the same day as our regular meeting also). The plan is to have a guest speaker from Ronald McDonald House in Spokane.
