Announcements.
– Stampede, April 30th: Registration opens January 31st online at Active.
Sponsor and registration forms are on our webpage – Ride Map – Lion Harrison provided an update on sponsorships.
– Flag Program – renewal invoices were sent in January – very few requests for flag replacement from invoicing. One participant requested to be removed. We have recently added several new participants; and renewal payments are at about 33% right now.
The Club will not need to schedule a flag replacement day at the Journal – Lion Tuma has offered to help with his interns.
– Reminder: Effective January 2022 – the GIN has raised the lunch price by $2.00, due to increased supply costs. The increase will be reflected on the April Invoice/Statements.
– Fundraiser: Grand Avenue Movie Theatre $20 Gift Cards – we still have four cards remaining and will order more; once they are gone. Update: the last four cards were purchased at the meeting by Lion Potts for $80 cash.
– Lion President Corsi has been handing out our Belton Lion Business Cards to propective new members, and two of them should be joining the Club soon.
– Charter Night will be on April 21st
– The Open at Belton (Disc Golf) is scheduled for March 18-20 at Heritage Park. This is a DGPT Silver Series tournament. Hot Dogs, Chips, etc. by Belton Lions. Update: Lion Corsi received a call from Lion Hudson that there has been a change to the tournament plans and “If” the Club wanted to do the hot dogs; it would be February 26th. A poll of the membership found that we do not have enough volunteers available on that date.
February Board Meeting would be immediately following lunch.
Program: Lion Chris Gregg invited Jon Vandergriff from Media to Social Marketing – he provided an interesting presentation on “How to Get Your Word Out”, with tips on Facebook-Instagram, TicToc and using videos; the Power of Google Reviews. Thank You!
