Fundraising Idea:  Walk can be exceptionally profitable.  Host the walk on the trail starting here in Rainier.  Wants us to talk about doing this walk together with Lacey Midday Lions Club.  Find a sponsor for T-Shirts and portabile restrooms.  $30 is the low end price range.  5K, 10K, 15K.  We both have 501-c3 foundations that would be helpful in getting funds to buy T-shirts.  (We have restrooms, so portable restrooms aren't necessary.)  Joint committee to get the fundraiser together.  (Planning for next year on the Sunday after Round-up Days.)

County is dragging their feet on the concession stand in W. Park.  George will write a letter to the city of Rainier for an update.

Pat:  LERC - new machine to read progressive lenses automatic lensometers.  Should increase their output.  Bill Miller is setting up training with Michael Petty to teach how to use lensometers.

Ron Lind:  Fundraiser - Insuk has lots of 5 gallon buckets that we could use to make into stools to sell.  He has 20 so far.  They are acquiring about 3 buckets a month.  Fishing, gardening, planters, (bug-out bucket? For Boy Scouts?)

Kyle's Special Heart

Please join the Rainier Lions Club in supporting the 

Kyle Lindemann fundraiser:

Kyle was born March 15, 2013, weighing in at 8 pounds 14.9 ounces.  He was 20.5 inches long.  When he was 28 hour old, standard newborn testing was done and he failed the pulseox test repeatedly.  This showed that he potentially had congenital heart defects.  He was eventually transferred to Seattle's Children's Hospital, where they found he has a unique set of CHD's that will require a minimum of three surgeries to correct.
