She first showed us an industrial handle for the mop with a sprayer in the handle.  The mop has 3 different types of mop heads:  dust, worker & scrubber.

Microfiber duster is flexible.  The handle extends.

Microfiber cloths.  Three different types.  Scrubber, cleaner and fine for windows and glass.

Magic Glove:  Get wet and clean what ever you want.

All in one Clay power - compressed clay powder.  Cleans everything.

Laundry Ball.  The beads changes the ph in the water to clean you clothes without chemicals.
(Dryer sheets are toxic and very bad for your health)  Beads last for 18 months.  Should last
1000 loads. There is no fragrance.  Put the ball in the sun for 3 hours once a month to reactivate the ball.

Pre-treatment of heavily soiled clothing:  Netta Pure Soap -

Oxy-Pure:  For pre-treatment of stains.

Static from dryer.  If you dry your clothes too long - you'll still get static.  Do not overdry.

Evan Burnett:  Cataract surgery update:  The surgery the Rainier Lions and NW Lions Foundation is providing for one of our local citizens will be on Thursday.  He will have a follow up visit with his surgeon on Friday.  Evan will visit him on Saturday and check up on him.  NW Lions will pay his bill.  We will reimburse NW Lions Institute for 50% of the cost of the surgery.

George:  This is what the White Canes Day Funds helps pay for.  (Why we donate to NW Lions Foundation.)

We need to find out when Rainier Elementary School wants us to deliver dictionaries to the third graders.  I will email Gene Cinkovitch to have him make arrangements with the school.  I will also contact Bev Jolley to find out if she'd like to go with us to deliver the dictionaries again this year.

John Doyle:  Thank you for all you do for your community.  It's wonderful to come and have such a great
reception.  Thank you for all your support.  We worked on our project for 3 years.  It was a success.

You don't have to do the Club Excellence project - in one block of time - but if you're interested in
this project - contact Sharon Sikes.  She has alot of information on this project.  Our club is well on
the road to excellence.  (He shared a story about a cataract surgery their club provided.  There is a
physician in Federal Way who will do these surgeries for Lions for $1800 per eye - including anathesia,
prep and the whole nine yards.  These surgeries are scheduled on Wednesday at the end of the day.)

Their clubs Soup Frenzy, silent auction and dessert spree will be held this coming Saturday September 29th from 5 to 8 Pm at the AMVETS HALL.  5717 South Tyler Street in Tacoma WA 98409.  Come out for an evening of fun and fellowship.

John shared about an experience where he was blindfolded.  Their group turned him around until he became disoriented and had him try to go through an obstacle course.  It was difficult trying to go through the  course, but it was fun.  They were raising funds for the NW Lions Foundation.

Apple Packers:  bring your gloves!  We'll be there having fun!  We help other clubs pack apples when we're
finished picking our apples.  Some people were dissatisfied with the pears, as they molded. 

Marlene:  Silent Auction tickets - premade baskets.  Dinner is $8.00 per person; children under 4 are free.  Desserts are not included in the meal.  The desserts are chosen by table.  The tables that have the most donations - get to choose their dessert first. Questions?  Contact Sheila Pearce (253) 906-6132.

Scholarship Application - we may need to shift our focus from senior to juniors - so we'll get more
applicants.  Evan made a motion to change from 1 community activity to 3 activities. Victoria seconded the motion.  The motion was carried by 100% of attendees.  Applicants need to be involved in 3 Rainier Lions Club community activities from the time they are freshman through their senior year in order to qualify for The Becky Waldren Memorial Scholarship.

Victoria Fanton read from George Washington's Rules of Civility:  #76.  Don't point your finger when you're talking to someone.  (summary)

Victoria talked to Young Life about the apples.

Meeting was adjourned.
