Members Present: President Harrison, Vice President John Corsi, Secretary/Treasurer Stagner, Lion Tamer Hickerson, Past President Shaw
Guest: None
Order of Business:
Guest Meals (Amended 4/1/2021)
Discussed whether invited guest (who join the Club) should be paid by the inviting member. After discussion, it was decided that the policy would be: if the guest joins the Club “before the inviting member’s next billing cycle” – their lunch would be part of the new member’s own dues; otherwise, the inviting Lion will be invoiced for the guest’s lunch. It was also discussed and decided that a guest – not personally invited by one of our members – should be expected to pay for their own lunch $15.00.
Stampede
President Harrison will coordinate with Lion(s) Shaw and Corsi to order the t-shirts.
We should have the final count soon – deadline to qualify for a rider shirt has passed.
As President Harrison will not be here for the Stampede, the $200 in H-E-B gift cards and the $75 WalMart Gift Card were given to Lion David Shaw – to purchase what is needed for the Stampede.

President Harrison will pay for the plaque; it will be presented to Matt Bates on Charter Night. Matt Bates and his wife will be guests of President Harrison.
