Appeal for assistance at the 207 Camarillo Christmas Parade on December 8, 2007.
This has been discussed before and a decision to participate was made.  Bob Gaboury will oversee our efforts.

Notice that the Harlem Ambassadors will be in the area in April 2008.
Tucky Farrell received a notice that the Harlem Ambassadors expect to be in town in April and are asking for some group to sponsor their basketball effort as a fund raiser.  We need to respond to get our name on the list if we are interested.  It will take the effort of the entire club if we do this. 

List of possible speakers, Jennifer Chaves offer.
The Division Secretary has submitted a list of potential speakers.  This list will be supplied to Carole Warren.

Contact has been made with Arlene Robinson and she was at the last meeting.  Hopefully she will get employment and be able to participate at a greater level.

Appeal for a microphone and amp for speakers.
There was a note submitted to the secretary that ask that the club get a microphone and amp for speakers as some folks in the back of the room sometimes have trouble hearing.  Paige Hibbits has a portable unit that she is willing to have us use.  This devise will be available the next time Paige can get to a meeting.

Sponsorship of the 2008 Celtic Festival (April/May 2008)
Several members have been approached asking that Camarillo Kiwanis be a co-sponsor of the 2008 Celtic Fair.  There is a question about whether our insurance will cover this activity.  Don Medley is to check with the carrier.  If we are covered it was decided that we should do this. 

Support for a reading program support for CYA inmates.
This seems to be a program to help inmates wit learning disabilities.  Darryl Sobelman and Tucky Farrell will check the extent of the need and report back.

Support for a family at Christmas.
There was discussion about whether the Club should select a family and follow them year after year or whether we should perhaps do different support activities each year based on submitted requests.   It was decided do the select from current requests format.  As a side request it was determined that the Pantry is providing support to a great number of people, Walter Metcalf moved that the Club purchase $200 worth of $5.00 gift cards based on Cecilia Rexford’s  recommended store.  Seconded by Darryl Sobelman.  Passed.

Appeal for funds to assist fire victims.
After much discussion, it was decided that we need to have more information about the needs of local fire victims rather than  making general contributions which seem to be greatly referenced toward the San Diego area.   We feel that there are needs from the fires near Santa Barbara.  This will be revisited after more information is available.

Easy 1-2-3 Program!
President Adams received a notice about a membership recruitment project “It’s As Easy As 1-2-3”.  When a new member is recruited, the sponsor will receive a key and be entered in a random drawing  for prizes.

Flag for the CYA.  
There was a request for an American flag for the CYA Club.  This was covered and approved at an earlier meeting.  Cecilia Rexford will follow up.
