OLD BUSINESS
Lion Al discussed the idea of club members building playhouses, ice houses and picnic tables. Al volunteered to look into the cost of construction of these items and will get back to the club with cost estimates at the next meeting. This is a project that could be a money maker and an opportunity for members to work together on something other than just fundraising.
Lion Russ thanked Lion Steve for getting our old Facebook page deleted and setting up a new page for the club. Russ and Steve will also work on a web site for the club.
NEW BUSINESS
Lion Steve announced that there will be a Boy Scout court of honor at the scout hall at 6:00 on Tuesday September 5, 2017. He encouraged us to attend and support the Scout Troop.

Several members agreed to help with this project.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Lion Dru said that we need to set a date and time to get the pool cleaned up and winterized. She also recommended that we give Matt Schwedhelm a gift certificate for all of the help he gave the pool during the last 2 years. He has filled in and helped with the pool chemicals when Kelci was gone or when his help was needed. An amount for a gift certificate will be decided by the pool committee at its next meeting.
Lion jack gave a progress report on the Joel Alzheimer awards display to be constructed in the pavilion.
