New Online Booking Available For Club Programs 

An online booking system has been set up to make it easier for the club to book speakers for our meetings (and a lot easier for the program chairman). If you have a person who would like to speak at our club, you can send them to the page;  they can see available days and book the date. That will remove the day from the calendar and send an email to the program chairman.  No more having to contact the program chairman to determine available days.

Here is the link:  https://koalendar.com/e/speaking-at-our-club-meeting

You can also find a QR code to the page on our website at

Please note that this will not be available to the general public on the website, preventing miscreants, ne’er-do-wells, and other weirdos from signing up to speak at our meetings.

Happy Bucks 

Lion Pete was happy that in his grandson’s Wednesday evening baseball game, he went two for three in his team’s 16-0 rout. Pete was also happy that the Dodgers were out of San Francisco.

Lion Karen was happy because she won $10 from last week’s Lotos Ticket and donated $1 to the club.

Lion Dee was happy that the Leos were with us today and that the Giants didn’t lose on Thursday. (that would be because they didn’t play)

Lion Aaron was also happy because the Leos were with us today.

Lion Roy was happy because the Dodgers had won two of three against the Giants in San Francisco. (the reason Lion Pete was happy to see them leave)

Lion Craig was happy because he had spent some time in Lake Tahoe with a good friend who had never gambled and they had come home with $225 more then they had gone with.

Lion Pat was also happy the Leo group was with us today.

Our guest, Leo C.O. Gonzalez had a happy buck for being with us today.

Lion Colin tries to select the winning white marble, but come up short. 

Drawings 

The $5 drawing went to Lion Colin  who donated it to the Leos. 

Lotto ticket: Lion Aaron 

Our program today was from Kevin McCusker with Cal Water. Lots of info about our water situation and why we are still in a stage two water restriction when we have had record rain and snow this year. It’s because we get all our water from wells and it takes time for the undergraund acqufirs to recharge.
