We will present the $1,000 check to the Texas Lions Camp at our Lunch Meeting on December 3rd.

Going back to original Stampede logo – agreed to add artwork of a bicycle – Header within letter “Cycling through Central Texas”.
- Accepting Credit Cards – Secretary Stagner would like authorization to talk with the Bank about setting the Club up to take credit card payments. All agreed.
- Record Keeping: Secretary Stagner presented the Spreadsheets that we now are maintaining to track payments and charges for: Guest Meals, Ball Caps, “Friends”, other Projects and Fundraisers. Overall Financials presented in a handout.
- Charge for Extra Meals – We want to continue to remind members pay for their guest(s) meal – at $14.28 ($15) plate (original thought $13.20/however, tip is based on $11.00 dinner, plus TAX/then tax backed out of overall bill) – of course, our invited lunch Guest(s) and Speaker(s) would be absorbed by the Club.
We would also ask that any At-Large or Associate member pay (to the Secretary) for their meal if they attend and dine with the Club. We appreciate our At-Large and Associate members who are continuing to support and participate with our Club, however, the Regular member Club dues will not adequately cover additional lunch meals. This procedure has been in place with the Club before and it was decided to go back to it.
