March 20, 2007 - Lion Steve Miguet gave a brief presentation on a new fund raiser for the club. It involves collecting used cell phones and turning them in to be recycled. Boxes will be distributed to member businesses and as phones are collected, Lion Miguet will send them to the company. Within 5 days, this company will mail us a check for the phones collected. Another Lions Club in a similar size town was able to raise $400 in 3 months. There are no expenses to the club in this project, so all funds will go back to our community projects. While this project will continue year-round, occasionally we can make an extra effort on a weekend or in conjunction with our Omelet Supper to collect additional phones.
Lion Bobby Holland distributed assignments for the Omelet Supper which is scheduled for April 24th at the First Baptist Church. Tickets should be available by our next meeting. The success of this fund raiser depends on members doing their part.
The new member drive to "Net 7 by 7/07" has been very successful. Please continue to invite people to our lunch meetings.
Our regular lunch meeting was at Doc's Grill today. We will return to our regular location at Harding University for next week's meeting, however we would like your input regarding meeting at Doc's. It has been suggested to move our regular meetings to Doc's. Please post your comments about meeting at Doc's. This will be an unofficial poll.

Although the food is good at Doc's, I don't think it fits our needs for meetings. I believe we need a meeting establishment that serves lunch, more than an eating establishment that allows meetings.
Unless Doc's can come up with a buffet, the whole ordering process seems incompatible with the Lion's Club meeting format/agenda.
I agree with the first two comments. There are too many distractions at Docs and the layout of the room isn't friendly for speakers or presentations.
I have to agree with the first 3 comments. Doc's maybe okay for our board meetings or other small groups but there was too much noise and distractions for our regular meeting.
