Appleton Noon Lions Club of Appleton WI. held its regular Board Meeting at the Grand Meridian on January 16, 2012. The meeting was called to order at 11:00 A.M. by Pres Bob Simon who acted as chairman with the following members in attendance:

After the minutes had been read, a motion was made by Schuh, seconded by C. Cox to approve the Sec. report as printed - carried.

After the Treas. report was discussed, a motion was made by C. Cox, seconded by Pawlak, to approve the Treas. report as presented - carried. Fund balances are as follows: Admin. Act. $3,312, Charity Act. $10,724, Becker Act. $18,235. Total: $32,271.

The club membership now stands at 56 with the loss of 2 members over the recent holiday period - Dave Cooper and Ed Schmidt. A check in the amount of $50 is being sent to the Wisconsin Lions Foundation in the name of each deceased Lion.
In addition to this transaction, we, the Noon Lions Club, have been approached by the Schmidt family, to assist in selecting an appropriate gift to the Lions Camp in Ed's name - the amount of $1,000 being available. Steve, Ed's wife, has received from the camp a list of needy items. From that list, the Board of Directors has selected 5 Diamond Back Mountain Bikes @ $200 each. This was by means of a motion by Schuh, seconded by Wieser, - carried. We are asking a plate be placed on each bicycle stating:

The Christmas Party was discussed, the feeling that it was a very successful event. An amount of $175 (profit from the egg nog sales and table donations, after expenses were paid) was taken to The Grand Army Home at King on Dec. 20~'. It was felt that this should have been a higher figure. Perhaps more emphasis should be placed on the at table collection.

It has been suggested that we, the Club members, should have our pictures on the web site, in the members internal use area only. This would be particularly helpful to new members, who have difficulty at times associating names with faces. Lion Ed Ogurek has agreed to be the photographer. More information on this topic will be forthcoming.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:40 AM.

Respectfully submitted,

Tom O'Hearn, Secretary
