MEETING NOTES:
 During the June 2, 2005 regular meeting, clarification was made regarding the pool pavilion in the park. The pool will not be removed, but will actually be filled in and covered over with a concrete slab. The sides of the existing pavilion are being removed to convert it to a large covered shelter with open sides. The electrical wiring and cement pouring should be completed by early July.
Lion Gayle Pollock was presented with an award in recognition of all of her work with the Lions Mobile Screening Unit, meal planning, the Christmas Party and many other club activities. Lion Gayle accepted an award on behalf of Lion Larry Pollock for his service as Tail Twister, among other things.
It was reported that plans for Down River Days are on track. The raffle tickets have been disbursed to members to help with sales. Dave King will be the band performing at the street dance – he will be paid rain or shine. The location for the "Battle of the Bands" is currently planned for somewhere in the park – near the Beer Garden or possibly under the pavilion if the weather is inclement. Lion Marvel Smith reported that all ten banners for main street have been sponsored and Seattle City Light has been approached about building the hanging hardware. The NPOV Lions present voted to purchase a new banner for hanging across the highway in Ione. There will be pre-ride gathering for the Pipers at Lion Jim McNally's home on Friday evening and a picnic gathering and PZC Tom Mackey's home on Saturday evening.
Lion Bob Shanklin reported that after some discussion of the need to accept credit card payments for ticket reservations, the committee voted to empower the President and Treasurer to make the decision on what form or services will be used to make that happen.
Past Zone Chairman Kim Di Rienz reported that the Multiple District 19 Annual Convention was an excellent event. PZC Kim was assisted by Lions Marvel Smith and Lion President Kim Cress in conducting the Memorial Service. PZC Tom Mackey constructed the candle holders. Many positive comments were received by PZC Kim after the service.
PZC Bill Seebach installed the following new officers:
2nd Vice Pres.: Tom Mackey
Secretary: Kim Di Rienz
1-Year Board Members: Dick Ashton & Marvel Smith
2-Year Board Member: Carol Stone
Lion Tamer: Gayle Pollock
The remaining new officers will be installed during the first regular meeting in July.
During the June 16, 2005 Board meeting, the proposed budget and project proposals were reviewed and recommendations were made for club approval. PZC Tom Mackey presented a bid to have the club's coach car painted ($3,507.76). The cost would be reduced if members did the masking. The colors would be silver for the roof, and green for the sides. The undercarriage would be painted black.
Lion Gayle Pollock has been in touch with the Selkirk Clinic and they are interested in working with us when the Lions Mobile Health Screening Unit comes to our community in fall.
It was reported that Nancy Riley and the local Master Gardeners are donating all of the flowers for our depot flower boxes.
During the June 16, 2005 regular meeting, members enjoyed a meal provided by the men of the club. The meal was followed by a program on drug awareness presented by Pend Oreille County Sheriff's Deputies Queston Youk and Mark Brownell. The program was very informative and well received.
