All, I have put most of the previous years' meeting minutes on the blog. The ones I have at least, I know a few of those missing months I obviously wasn't there or we didn't have a meeting, like the Mar 09 meeting when we had a blizzard that day.
Enjoy!

No secretary’s report this month due to Riverarts being held during our monthly meeting time (August) and July’s meeting cancelled.
Treasurer’s report: We have club dues “due” this month. Brenda will have more information @ the next meeting. Please contact her at Brenda.l.houglum@wellsfargo.com if you have questions. We raised 91.05 from the fishing opener. August Riverarts was 105.93 for the suckers and 42.56 from the face painting.
Old Business
August Riverarts went very well. Our sucker sales were huge; our face painting was good but some improvement was needed. Decision was made to have better worded signs in order to guarantee some sort of donation. Also, to have some sort of way for people to line up, put their money in the pail and then line up for the actual face painting. We discussed other ways to make this event a little bit more successful.
Dragonfest is scheduled for Sept. 16. Brent Brenda and Darla made it out to this event and served pancakes to some very grateful and generous college students!
New Business:
Darla suggested that we get a group together to put on a supper or Christmas cookie baking at the Ronald McDonald house this coming holiday season. She is going to look into that.
Our speaker for the night was Amanda Beadell, a Dietetic Intern with Concordia College, Moorhead
Amanda spoke about her mission to Uganda funded through -the Missions Made Possible, a non-profit group based in the Twin Cities that make it possible for people to go on mission trips. While in Uganda, they hold nutrition classes, eye exams, give out donations such as mattresses and hold hygiene classes. The Coon Rapids Lions club donated all of the eye charts and the mission was able to distribute 2000 glasses. Feed my starving children, another non-profit donated the rice mixtures that were given out to families. The rice mixture are made with rice, soy nuggets, chicken flavoring, and dehydrated vegetables. Our club discussed possibly getting together and putting together the rice mixtures in preparation for future mission trips.
Join us for our next meeting October 14 @ Moorhead Fryn Pan

New Business
• We are looking to serve a meal at Churches United sometime this spring. Everyone agreed a weeknight was the best option most likely 5-7pm. Vanessa was going to find out more information.
• We discussed possibly changing officers for the coming year. Generally, all thought it was best that we stick to the same officers as we are still a very young club.
Included with these meeting minutes is a description of each of the officers that make up a Lions club.
Officers and Board of Directors: A Lions club is governed by a board of directors, normally consisting of a president as chief executive officer, the immediate past president, three vice, a secretary, a treasurer, a Lion tamer, a tail twister, four or more directors, a membership director and a branch coordinator (if applicable). Officers are elected annually for a term coinciding with the association’s fiscal year ( July 1-June 30). Directors are elected for two-year terms. Meetings of the board are usually held once each month.
President: The president serves as the club’s executive officer and presides at all meetings of the club and the board of directors. The president issues the call for regular and special meetings in accordance with the club’s by-laws or procedures, plans the agenda and ensures that the status of each committee activity is reported. It is also the responsibility of the president to see that regular elections are duly called, noticed and held. The president cooperates with, and is an active member of, the district governor’s advisory committee of the zone in which the club is located.
Immediate Past President: The immediate past president, along with other past president’s, serves as an official greeter of members and their guests at club meetings and represents the club in welcoming new people into the community served by the club
Vice Presidents: In the event that the president should be unable to perform the duties of office for any reason, the vice president next in rank occupies the position and performs the duties with the same authority as the president. Each vice president under the direction of the president oversees the functioning of various committees of the club.
Secretary: Under the supervision and direction of the presidents and boards of directors of the secretary acts as a liaison officer between the club and both the district and International headquarters. Responsibilities of the secretary include submitting reports, maintaining club records and issuing financial statements to club members.
Treasurer: The treasurer is responsible for all club financial matters. Duties include receiving all monies and paying club obligations, maintaining financial records, preparing financial statements, and submitting financial reports.
Lion Tamer: the Lion Tamer serves as custodian of club property. Duties include being responsible for club property (such as flags, banners, gavels, etc) serving as a sergeant at arms during meetings and distributing materials at meetings.
Tail Twister: the Tail twister serves to promote harmony, good fellowship and enthusiasm at club meetings through the judicious imposition of fines on members. The Tail twister may not be fined except by the unanimous vote of all members present. Any funds collected by the Tail twister are immediately turned over to the treasurer.
Membership director: The membership director serves as the chairman of the membership committee. Responsibilities of the membership director include development of membership growth programs , implementation of recruitment and retention programs and preparation of orientation sessions.
Branch coordinator(if applicable): The branch coordinator is the chief officer of the club branch’s executive committee.

Treasurer’s Report
Please turn in all scratch off tickets handed out last fall and money from the tickets to Brenda ASAP. In addition, annual dues need to be paid by next month’s meeting. Dues can be sent to Brenda at
1922 20 Ave S
Moorhead MN 56560
Or paid at next month’s meeting.
Old Business:
Unfortunately, we have run into some competition with our proposed Sweetheart Ball. We are going to drop the sweetheart ball and look for new ideas. Ideas proposed include Mid-Winter Blues Dance, Spring Fling, and a Luai. We are looking to have it around the date of February 23 but will consider moving it to a later time if possible.
Darla is looking into possible locations for holding our monthly meeting. The Moorhead Public Library has a free meeting room available for us to use the second Tuesday of each month. The drawback of this is of course that we do not have the option of ordering food and would have to bring our own. There were no strong opinions either way regarding this issue. If you have ideas about this please contact Darla at 701-367-4901.
Mid-Winter Convention is coming up January 25-26-27 in Mahnomen at Shooting Star Casino. 99$ includes five meals and seminars. There will be a first timers program which presents an excellent opportunity to meet with other Lions. Please try to attend if you can.
There was no new business.
Meeting Closed.
Presentation
Russ McDougal, Kim Peters, and Gordy Nichols were our presenters for the evening. They spoke about the history of Lions and a brief rundown of the hierarchies beginning with the Lions International President through the districts and local clubs.

I. Brenda and Brent discussed the dues. They have determined that dues for our club is as follows:
Single person-60$ a year
Couple- 95$ per year
January 1st the next round of dues need to be payed
Brenda and Brent proposed that we pay dues at the June and September monthly meetings.
Trish moved; Sherrie seconded
Motion passed
If you have questions about this, please contact Brenda @ 218-287-4511
II. We have decided to hold a Sweetheart Ball. We’re aiming for the date of Friday February 15. We are going to team with Coats for Kids for this event. Brent asked Sue Hauglid to chair the Sweetheart Ball and she accepted. Sue made a list of guidelines and list of committees. The list was passed around to let people sign up for committees. Sue stated that the plan is to begin full planning mode as soon as Christmas is over. If you were not at the meeting and would like to help out in any way, please email Sue at mhaugs@hotmail.com.
Doug spoke with Charley Johnson with KVLY Coats for Kids and he was on board with us to start an advertising plan for this event a month in advance.
III. Doug has set us up to help out with the Salvation Army Bellringing on Saturday December 22. Brent will send out another email with the times available.
IV. District Winter Meetings will be held at Shooting Star Casino in Mahnomen January 25-26-27. This is a GREAT opportunity for us to learn more about Lions and to socialize with other Lions. The 25th will be more of a mixer and poker tournament. The 26th there will be morning sessions and a business meeting after lunch. Mike Griffin pointed out that there will be two candidates for International Director present. The 27th will be a church service. Please try to go if you can, if you have questions please contact Brent.
New Business
I. As we move into the new year, we have the unfortunate task of dropping inactive members from our roster. In addition, we are always looking to add new members. We have unique opportunity to have a Concordia Student to join us. Katie McGuire (sp?) will join us. She was involved with a Leo club in high school and is very eager to join up with us. Questions about adding/dropping members please contact Brent.
II. We are also looking into possibly moving the location of our monthly meetings or for sure staying at the Fryn Pan. The obvious pros of staying at the Fryn Pan is that we can order supper while we have our meeting. However, most felt that this was not such a pertinent issue. Darla mentioned that the Moorhead Public Library has free meeting rooms available in the downstairs of the library. Darla was subsequently put in charge of this committee. If you have ideas please contact Darla at 701-367-4901.
III. Sue brought to our attention an Adopt a Grandparent program she came across. Just an idea for possible programs we may want to become involved with in the coming year.
Next Meeting: January 8 2008! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!!

Mike Griffin pointed out that there will be two candidates for International Director present. The 27th will be a church service. Please try to go if you can, if you have questions please contact Brent.
New Business
I. As we move into the new year, we have the unfortunate task of dropping inactive members from our roster. In addition, we are always looking to add new members. We have unique opportunity to have a Concordia Student to join us. Katie McGuire (sp?) will join us. She was involved with a Leo club in high school and is very eager to join up with us. Questions about adding/dropping members please contact Brent.
II. We are also looking into possibly moving the location of our monthly meetings or for sure staying at the Fryn Pan. The obvious pros of staying at the Fryn Pan is that we can order supper while we have our meeting. However, most felt that this was not such a pertinent issue. Darla mentioned that the Moorhead Public Library has free meeting rooms available in the downstairs of the library. Darla was subsequently put in charge of this committee. If you have ideas please contact Darla at 701-367-4901.
III. Sue brought to our attention an Adopt a Grandparent program she came across. Just an idea for possible programs we may want to become involved with in the coming year.
Next Meeting: January 8 2008! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!!

Moorhead Lions Donate $500 to Coats for Kids
Fewer children will go without coats next winter thanks to a five hundred dollar donation made by the Moorhead Lions Club. The Moorhead Lions hosted a bowling charity event in late February at Sunset Lanes in Moorhead. Ten teams of four people bowled for prizes, bragging rights and to help a good cause. Proceeds from the event went to support the local Coats for Kids organization, which provides winter apparel to children throughout the valley.
“It was great to see so many members of the community and area businesses come together for a good cause. There is a definite need in the valley for the Coats for Kids program and the Moorhead Lions are proud to be able to support them,” said Brent Berg Moorhead Lions President.
The estimated poverty rate in Cass and Clay counties jumped from 10.1 percent in 2006 to 13.4 percent in 2007, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s annual American Community Survey.
The Moorhead Lions group is made up of young professionals from the area. The group was established in June 2007 and has made raised money to support organizations such as Goats for Haitians, MN Lions Eye Bank, Lions Hearing Foundation, Lion’s Leader Dog Program, Coats for Kids, Clay-Wilkin Head Start, the Ronald McDonald House and more.
