Lion Pat made a motion to donate $100.00 to the Grammer family. They had just lost a child in an automobile accident. The motion was seconded by Lion Tess and followed by discussion. It was brought up by Lion Tess that a fundraiser was being held for Rick Kettle in two communities and should we make it an all encompassing motion to donate to both or to have two motions. Lion Precsilla let us know that there were two more families with death and illnesses, although one family was not in need of a donation. It was decided to amend the motion to read: donate $100.00 each to the Kettle, Grammer & Jones families with a sympathy card to the Tomlinson?s. Lions Pat & Tess approved the change: motion carried. Lion Precsilla will send the checks with the appropriate type of cards.
A motion was then made to have the person in charge of cards to send out cards at any time he/she feels a card is needed by anyone in the community, by Lion Pat with the second from Lion Linda: motion carried.
