Meeting was held at Wings Central Roadhouse Grill (Rodeo City BBQ Closed this week).
Members in attendance: John Barker, Byron Thomas, Sarah Storrs, Liz Whitaker, and our newest member Jaela Peters
Guest: Joey Beaushaw
Call to Order 12:15 pm – Lion President Sarah Storrs
Treasurer’s Report – Deferred as Secretary/Treasurer not in attendance
Sight and Hearing Committee Report—Lion Sarah Storrs
· Outstanding Eye Care Applications: 3 (one has been approved; two I need additional information)
· Would like to amend our application (again) to 1) require proof of income and 2) have DSHS be the only screening source. Discussion by Liz Whitaker about requirements for DSHS for adults—her thinking was that they would not qualify unless they were unemployable (not just unemployed). Sarah Storrs will contact DSHS for an explanation about exactly what the qualifications are and will write up a draft to bring to club for a vote prior to any policy change.
· Outstanding Hearing Aid Application: 1 (waiting for patient P/U, has been informed of reduced copay). Sarah Storrs to attempt to contact by phone one more time, then send letter giving patient 30 days to pick up HA or it will be returned to HA Bank.
· Would like to amend our application process so applicant pays co-pay before HA are ordered. And include an agreement with some verbage to the effect that the decision of behind the ear vs. in the ear aids depends on what’s available at the bank. Again, a draft will be presented to the club prior to any policy change.
· NLF Hearing Aid Bank – processing applications if clubs pay 100% refurbishing costs through end of 2009
Old Business

o Posters: Liz had printed & laminated about 20 8 ½ x 11 color posters. She will print about 10-12 more and also print an equal number in Spanish, and bring to 9/22 meeting for distribution. Lion Sarah Storrs to compile list of posting locations to bring to next meeting.
o Driver: Meals? Liz and Sarah will pay for one meal each for driver. Need two more meals covered if at all possible. Lodging? Lion John Barker will donate points & set up a reservation at the Hampton Inn for the driver. Fuel? Lion Sarah Storrs to contact Cenex Co-op to see about any type of non-profit discount
