Committee Reports

Steak Fry comittee

Lion Doug Kinseth reported:

he had spoken with Russ at Fareway and steaks this year are going to cost $6.99 each. He ask Russ if he could order us 600 with an option for us to get another hundred if necessary. He informed me that our steaks are cut thicker than his normal T-Bones so it would be hard to do this in a hurry as they have to physically cut each steak.

A discussion began about the cost of our dinner as to whether to raise the cost of the tickets to $20. Some felt we should keep the prices the same for this year and some felt we should go ahead and raise them. This was tabled and sent to the board to discuss next week at their meeting.

Reminder to everyone that the Virtual District 9NW Convention this year will be held on Thursday, March 31, 2022 from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.

One of the things happening at that convention will be another district election. We anticipate electing FDNL Lion Jim Gill, who stepped up to be first vice district governor midway through the current club year, to become district governor effective July 1 for the 2022-23 Lions year.

Lion Jim has been preparing in earnest to take the reins and have a great year. We need to do all we can to help that happen.

The following information was sent to inform the Fort Dodge Noon Lions Club that they have 3 Delegate votes.

Each club has to select their delegate or delegates. They will have to be on Zoom and logged into the Zoom connection.

2022 District 9NW Convention

Meeting ID: 831 9451 0021

Passcode: 033122

Phone:  1 312 626 6799 

The District has had a hard time getting District Officers to volunteer. Our own Lions Steve Rehmann has volunteered to be the Zone Chair for our zone and Lion Jim Gill has placed his name in the hat for District Governor.

Thank You to both of these fine Lions.
