New Business
1. White Cane Days Review.
Lion Bryon reported that our White Cane Days was very successful. Over $800 was collected. Good exposure for the club. For next year, perhaps spend time at the preceding club meeting to go over sells pitch and information to share about Sight First and Ellensburg Lions Club in general…so we are all telling the same story. Suggested to write a thank you letter to Super 1 for hosting our table. Also, a Certificate of Appreciation to Super 1 and present it to the manager.
2. Dave Heath from the Naches Lions Club attended and presented a short program on Campaign on Sight First.
3. General Discussion. Sarah suggested perhaps the club host a Bunco night as a possible additional fund raiser…perhaps held at the Kittitas County PUD auditorium. Also, perhaps the Club produce business cards to hand out to prospective members and at public events such as White Cane days. To gain more exposure, the Club may want to develop a display board high lighting Club activities to be used at White Cane days, etc.
4. LCIF. Moved, second, passed to have the Club provide a $50 match with Sarah for Campaign Sight First.
5. Meeting with Rodeo City Kiwanis. Dick reported he met with Rodeo City Kiwanis, Tuesday, April 29 to discuss possible interclub cooperation on local fund raising events. Rodeo City has two fund raising events they will consider having the Lions club participate: The Saturday and Sunday breakfast at Albertson’s on Rodeo weekend and the Saturday and Sunday breakfast at the Threshing Bee. Intern, the Lions Club would like help for Indian John Hill. There is mutual interest and willing to explore the details further. Whatever the clubs work out it must be straight forward, simple, and equitable…perhaps settling participation once a year in the fall.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.

Highlights from May 6th Meeting
1. White Cane Days
We raised over $900. Not only did we exceed the 10% challenge--This is the best WCD in the history of the Ellensburg club! Super-1 was a great location, and we were able to make contact with some potential members.
2) Campaign Sight-First II
David Heath (Naches Lions) briefly spoke about CSFII. Since the original goal of $150 million has been met, a challenge goal of an additional $50 million has been issued. CSFII ends at the end of June. Motion was made (and passed) for the club to match a $50 donation from Family Eye Clinic--total of $100 to CSFII.
3) New Meeting Place
Starting May 27th, we will be meeting at Rodeo City BBQ, noon. VFW will be presenting the program.
