RLC Minutes April 10, 2017
Minutes 04/10/2017
Attendance: KL Chris
Beck, Evan Burnett, Bernice Beck, Pia Ballmes, Dawn Kenney, Autumn Kenney, Linda Lazelle. Guest:
Dave Wuller, BGF coordinator
KL Chris called meeting to order with pledge, song, and
prayer
Tail Twisting – KL Chris gave a quiz—Mr. Spell, Miss
Spell. Pia won the prize, a purple
pen. Second meeting of month will have a
birthday cake for April birthdays.
KL Chris asked for reports from Lion Linda, Bernice and
himself concerning the Spring Conference held in Olympia at the RL. Lion Linda said that there was a class
Youth: Building on Past Legacy. A new Lion was speaking about the Lions being
“Old peoples Club”. This is a past
stereo type. Need to attract younger
members by stressing that Lions is a plus on their resume for jobs. Community Service shows that they care about
more than just themselves and gives them a leadership role. Can give back, serve, and network with
potential employers. Some clubs have
real estate, insurance brokers, bankers, or other professionals in
membership. Hold each other responsible
by calling and/or texting to get to meetings or projects.
Concept that can be used is to have project fit in for
younger members to give them something immediately where they can be seen in
community as active Lions. Go into High
School and establishing career in 30’s.
Annual Earth Day Project, Care Projects such as back packs. Approach and get engaged!
Ron Smirich said there is a Your Club, Your Way concept that
offers younger members their own meeting schedule, set up own projects (not so
much traditional). Maple Valley meets
once month on Saturday. Still members in
main club but branch meets at different time.
Communicate using Face Book, private page members only.
Lion Linda attended a class on Ethics. Go over Ethics once a year. Part of induction. Can we do better? Build up and not destroy. Go to Zone Chair, District Governor. Mediation, find out about. Vet you transfer members with club coming
from. Either accept or reject with a
letter (don’t say why if
rejecting.) Transferring secretary from
previous club has to drop, then vet incoming with Board no time limit.
CARE in Peru this year helping girls to go to school. Raised $40,000 this year. MD 19 send donations. Salina Peru 2 year period for funds.
Change to sight screening in school. Will be required to check near vision plus
far. Lions screeners get training like
school nurses.
Lion Bernice Code purple resuscitating vol. priceless. 1 new Lion changes 70 lives. Breakfast at Sallys Book by luncheon speaker.
KL Chris moderated class and evaluated feedback. What Worked?
Clubs that have grown immensely, Mineral. New fire truck, run lake resort in
summer. Lions own 20 acre piece of
property, 40 new members. Good example
for us and the kitchen concession stand—let people know it’s there because of
Lions. Dupont 4 years ago has business
and professional members. Poulsbo is
also successful club.
A third reading of officers was given: Lion Evan Burnett, President, Lion Jill
Wilkinson, Vice President, Lion Linda Lazelle, Secretary, Lion Evan Burnett,
Treasurer, Lion Bernice Beck Lion Tamer, Lion Dawn Kenney, Tail Twister, and
Lion Jill Wilkinson, Membership Chair.
Next meeting on April 24th will be the election of
officers. Lion Linda will email Al
Hedstrom orientation to Lion Pia.
KL Chris Beck requested a report by committee chairs: White Care Days, will set schedule locations. (Lion Dawn) Legacy Project
(kitchen/concession stand) Health Department permit getting (Lion Evan),
Scatter Creek Coffee—work with Lacey Mid-Day, part of week. Got coffee use Lacey’s pot for coffee, hot
chocolate, tea bags. Cookies

volunteers only. Make a roster to do
shifts (2 people at once)(time date name cell #) (KL Chris), Centennial
Celebration Sponsors for on BG form, May
15th get sponsors (Lion Bernice, PPN (no chair) will likely have
Lacey Lamplighters be in charge of distributing fruit to hub clubs, Blue Grass
Festival --Website up, usual prepare, spread word RainierPickerParty.com August
21-27. Have everything but stage. (Lion
Evan and Dave Wuller), Top 5 Dinner—2nd Wednesday of May, Limo and go to Tahoma
Golf Course restaurant (Lion Evan).
KL Chris said that Olympia Air Show is in June. We can help.
Father’s Day Weekend. Requirement
if Rainier Lions are to use Burger Den in August. We get free pass to air show, if
volunteer. 4-6 hour shifts.
Keep asking about membership using club brochure and
membership application.
Ad in District Roster for Blue Grass Festival and Peaches
Pears and Nectarines. Motion was first
and seconded to have ad placed. Motion
carried.
We will need a dinner count for the next meeting. Chicken was suggested as main course.
Meeting adjourned.

Today on Earth Day and my birthday Dawn, Terry, Autumn, Jesse Nubbe and myself planted flowers at the Rainier Veteran's Memorial and the flower bed by the Welcome to Rainier Sign North end of Rainier. Terry took some pics and will post them to the RLC blog.
It took a whole hour with 5 of us and we were done before the rain came and then all went to Valley Heart for breakfast with Runyon's.
Thanks to all who helped, Chris Beck, RLC, KL
