Everyone enjoyed dinner. The formal meeting began at 7:00.
John was a surprise guest and is the District Governor Elect for 2018-2019. John was making unscheduled visits to the Clubs in District 5300. The Palmdale Club was his third visit of the day. We were excited to have him attend our meeting. John related his views on his upcoming term as District Governor and asked our Club how the District could help to make our Club better. Sam and David suggested that the larger clubs should be more willing to support the smaller Clubs in the District.
The first regularly scheduled item of business was to review the previous Saturday’s Rotary event at the JetHawk’s Stadium. Sam and Janice described the event/meeting to the Club Members.
The second item of business was to discuss the piano at David’s home and how to make the best use of it. The plan is to sell the piano and use the money raised to fund a project.
The next item of business was to update the status of Oktoberfest. New sanitized flyers have been printed and are ready for distribution.
Sharon Freeman provided an update on our need for musical instruments and equipment. Bobby Oh was able to get a reduced rate on guitars through his connections. The cost would be $1200. Chuck Church is willing to fund the cost but would like to run the funds through our Club. Sharon and Tina will work out the details for getting a check to Bobby Oh.
