Christmas party: Postponed at this time. It Lion Russell Stinnett suggested we use the money set aside for Christmas party to furnish meals for some people in need. Lion Doug Larson stated that we did that in the past, and decided it would benefit more people, if we donated money to IGA for food baskets for the Food Bank. Lion Larson suggested we should make a donation to the Food Bank before the end of November, to get our donation matched by Town Pump. It was decided that we should donate our money to help the community, instead of individuals.
Bell Ringing: December 12th 10:30 to 6:30 at IGA and 10:45 to 6:45 at North 40. There will be two kettles at IGA and one at North 40. Lion Jerry Kuhn will wear the Lion costume all day at IGA.

Board Meeting:
It was discussed and decided that our donation would go farther if we donated it to the food bank before the end of November. That would be if Town Pump will match the donation.

Lion President Becky Toth
Because of Covid-19 restrictions, Havre Lions had an informal meeting with 10 members in attendance.
New Business:
Eagles Manor has asked if Lions would paint their dining room. Lion President Becky has emailed to get more information but has not heard back. She will contact them and report.
Campground: Possible work party to cut trees that are marked for cutting. We would leave them, and hope campers would cut them up for firewood.
Electricity at Campground: Lion Mark Peterson has mentioned but no details. It was discussed and thought that we could wire it to hook to generator or maybe hook to HCE. If connected to HCE we would not want to pay. It is thought that the park pays for the other campgrounds that have it, and charge extra to those that use it for camping.
Cookers at booth: The problems that we had at drive through were caused by oil building up on plugins. Thought that if we got weatherproof plugins it would help.
Discussed possible drive through sales in the future:
If we do it, we should split lines for more than 20 and less than 20.
Lion Becky discussed questions from Lion’s Swim Team as to not having them help. She said that Lindsey Ratliff contacted her as soon as she saw in paper report on us asking fair board. Also, they are all in high school and most swim team are younger. Lion Russ said if we do it again, we should find a way to incorporate them in our plan. Maybe they could set up to have people sign up to have swim team put a flag up at their residence or place of business on flag holidays.
Need to find ways to keep club more active.
Bell ringing: Lion Becky will contact Salvation Army and request December 12. It was also agreed that we need to get information out early on us matching up to $1500.
Christmas Party will be later in the spring, because of restrictions with Covid-19.
Highway cleanup: Lion Ray Toth suggested that we should do it. He said that we would probably only have to do on top of the hill by Diesel Dr. The rest looks good.

Eliminate baseball,
Back in the day: when we were making more money at fair: They made more fund accounts:
We pay $1000 a year for Melvin Jones: every year we get a credit: We have $20,000 credit in our Melvin Jones fund
Members thought that we should budget $1000 a year for Melvin Jones: A budget item that is pre approved:
Lion Leonard Deppmeier said every penny should go before the board when we pay.
We give 4k to Lions International and State:
Montana Leader Dog 1k
What we are suppose to do is have a Melvin Jones recipient each year.
Lion Leonard Deppmeier: There is never any reason to send money to Melvin Jones unless we award it. There is lots of people that we could give Melvin Jones award to someone every year. Exceptional Lion that deserves an award. Shirley Johnsrude did our history book and received the Melvin Jones Award. It does not have to go to a Lions Club member.

Invocation: Lion Jerry Kuhn
Program: Havre Youth Hockey approaching Lions for monetary help.
Cory Engebretsen, and Shawn and Dominique Preputin
Compressors are going down. They are not reliable.
New unit would be large enough to run a separate sheet for curling
Efficiency – will save money
Looking at $220,000 to do this
Bought a new Zamboni last year and have to pay for that. If they knew the compressor problem was going to arise, they would have waited.
110 to 130 kids every year. 70 are 8 and under. Ice for 6 months. Public skating average 80 to 100. NMC will be starting hockey team. Hope the crowd will follow NMC hockey. Havre Youth Hockey will get concessions at their games. Northern is struggling so they don’t have money at this time to contribute. Hope to have answer by June 15.
College will want to start hockey in September.
Board meeting is 14th of June. Company for compressors is carrier. Units are built in Texas.
They are working with a Carrier company in Utah.
Anything, Havre Lions could do, would be helpful and appreciated.
Ice rink is listed as a morg for emergencies for Hill County.

Lion President Jim Heavey
Invocation: Lion Ray Toth
Speaker: Lorraine Verplogen:
Asking for money:
Plant a seed read:
Started with united way
Dolly Parton – instituted:
Many children entering schools did not have the vocabulary they needed
from birth to 5 85 % of a child's learning is done then.
Social Emotional: very important
Umbrella program so sponsor b
Get books once a month
talking about listening and reading
Everything you do in front of a child you give them an example
The best thing you can do to your child is to read to them
Depend on community members to pay for registration for Seed To Read
Question from Lion: How do you know the parents are reading: by taking to some.
Theory of Dolly: She wanted every child to have their own books, so when they are parents they have a selection of books to read to their children
5 age groups:
each age group gets a selection of 12 books a year.
People can do with the books as they want. Have a need. There are 993 kids that need books.
All children are eligible
All children are in need
Current results 493. 562 kids still involved.
Single sponsor is $30 for one year
Prefer to get them in when new born
How do they decide who get books when donation is made
people
Could be a waiting list: everyone is a volunteer.
Majority of money goes to kids.
$30 gets them 12 books
Have serviced over 1000 kids from start
They are quality books in content and structure
Kids learn by exploring in first 5 years
Over 1400 kid in Hill County
When you are reading you are bonding; which is very necessary
“I can” attitude will help them in future
Life long learners
cost effective:
Literacy and learning drives success
30 slots need sponsorship during the 5 years -
allocations: Ask if there is someone in family who will sponsor a child.
If not, Lorraine will go out and seek a sponsorship
Graduate 4 to 5 children a month
What is Lorraine's hope from Lions tonight: Wants to have us give what we can if we believe in project.
a lot donate in memory of people
Lion Mark Rowlatt suggested donate for 5 kids for 5 years

Challenge today to find new members. We are getting older. Many of us will not be here in 20 years. We need to get more younger members
Diabetes is spreading so fast around the world. Lions will start working on diabetes this summer. Also will start working on childhood cancer.
100 years ago focus was on orphans. 1925 Invited Helen Keller talked about blindness and deafness. Went from orphans and widows to sight and hearing.
Years later Helen was asked if
Lions had done what she expected. She said they did way more than what she expected.
Next 100 years develop: Lions serve 58 million a year. In 5 years hope to serve 200 million a year.
Improve our visibility
When great catastrophe Lions go, but we don't have publicity to promote us.
When you have time – publicize what you do with web, plaque, when we meet
Training for officers:
Encourage membership and improve membership value and reach out to new market.
Need more Lions and need to focus on the value of being a Lion
We need to work together with other groups
Lion Larry would like us to put on another convention. Was a time when could count on Havre and Lewistown because they were center of state.
What can the district and international do for us.
Baker – if lions asked could have got 10k for them in three days, after tornado.
3 years ago emergency recovery grant $20k to help on recovery for
It is not maybe money. It is there. All we need to prove the need.
Now trying to get a grant for generator for shelter at Baker, because it did not have last year when needed at shelter.
Grants: Fort Benton raising money for hospital for heating and cooling – Larry sent information in and it will take a while – but should get 80 to 100 k dollars for it
When you as a club are looking for needs of a community, the last thing to look at is cost. Need to look at what it needs and then get a hold of dist gov. Can't guarantee, but if you don't ask, you won't get anything. You need to ask.
All kinds of grans out there for us . We need to ask and apply.

Appreciates Lions that step up and help with bell ringing.
Reminder bell ringing is to raise funds for emergency services: power, eviction and variety of other things. Lodging: police department holds her vouchers to give to people after hours so they don't freeze to death.
gas vouchers with reason for emergency and medical
actively trying to get a job or get to work
help people be sufficient in themselves

last year noticed a great need for those with felony or on parole. It is a viscous cycle. Salvation Army has worked with detention center and work with them on an accountability to break cycle.
Want to raise $36 k this year. Last year $26k
If they have volunteers they don't have to pay a salary and make more.
They work with family with youth, when there is a youth in need.
They can only get food every other month at food bank
They are trying to keep back pack program at schools going
Bell ringing starts day after Thanksgiving and ends Christmas Eve
The Salvation Army appreciates all we do and our matching check
If you are interested Salvation Army is open to see what she does stop by and check. 328 third street next to Thrift Store is office.
Some people have felonies. They cant' get a job and is a problem.
Tries to work with all people. Tries to get them on their feet so they are productive in society.
Lion Jim Ward asked to give blessing. He deferred to Lion Gregg Carlson. Lion Hollingshead did blessing.
They divide red kettle amount in 12 and that is budget for month.
They own soup kitchen building and pay utility for soup kitchen
We see Clients getting job, getting housing, getting ahead, hopefully they are not just trying to uses the system.

Should we sponsor here with some money: Lion Tony Dolphay said she hits right in the heart of what Lions does: As we get older, people with poor eye sight need to develop skills.

Judy Neely: Montana Association Of Blind: Legally blind: less than 2200. If you can see less 2200 feet away. She can see about 10 ft. on bicycle goes faster than eyes adjusts. Not all doom and gloom: They work with national group. Main goal is put on school at Carol College for those losing vision. If loosing vision eyes can't keep up. Teach adults how to adjust. The white cane hits something ahead of you. Sound tells what you are bumping into. Talk to them about guide dogs along with canes.
Dogs won't take you where you want to go without you telling them. Good for people with low vision. Dog takes care of you. 3 yr of school before assigned. At school teach about all the equipment available. Can be independent at home. Close circuit TV. Computer classes. Use computers like a seeing person. Come into school like kindergarten and afraid. Month of school feeling much better.
Some of the classes : Braille, cooking, wood working and how our life has changed, Use electric magnifier. Electronic magnify even more. Veterans: have programs for them
Montana association for the blind lend money for equipment
Chancellor: Kegel:
Northern is important: Greg started Northern in 1972 and has been in Havre and Northern ever since.
Economic important to Havre and area.
Good programs will sell themselves.
44 companies showed up for job fair.
Working with hi-line superintendents to get students to come to Northern
Northern Fits a niche:
Have to sustain themselves.
Diesel center building: Area big enough to pull Caterpillar in.
Area where kids will want to come in and study. Will help to recruit kids.
To get students to come to Northern it needs to be a area, which is better than where they came from.
-
For new building: million from state. Raised 3.9 million. Last session Kris Hansen finagle more money for project.
Yesterday got another 250,000 in match. Project is in good shape. It is in the bank.
Looking to increase enrollment from 1250 to 1500 students.
New Stadium:
Blue pony stadium does not allow college to do what they need to do. Want their own. What if we build a stadium? Looking at what the investment is and what will they get back.
Rodeo Program: Horse operations south of town. Dillon is larger than northern. Equine program has increased it. Would increase 50 students in barrel racing: for rodeo club.
Sustainable agricultural.
Donaldson Hall: abandoned. Sound. Stuck 300k in 2 years ago. Need to figure out what to do with Donaldson hall. Maybe change into vet center. Interest in this.
Looking at doing things for Native American students. 12 percent of population of college is native. Received grant to help with retention of native American students. Need to feel like they belong. Need to make Northern help them feel like they belong.
Greg Kegel is more than just a diesel chancellor. Likes fine arts. Is looking at what is best for Northern.
Have partnership with dean in Great Falls. 2 classes of graduating seniors. Will try to build on that. 500 students will be checking out Northern end of April.
Skills America will be here in 2 wks. This all works to get more students here. They will see what there is at Northern. Hope to get many to come to school at Northern.
Enrollment is up 25 students this semester. Almost 2 faculty members.
Will be breaking ground on diesel building. Bid letting is first of July. Contact awarded end of July.
Housing? 200K improvements to bathrooms at Morgan hall. North wing has been vacant since 1986. Need masks to enter anymore. Brought in team to eliminate asbestos. Completely clean. Room for 120 students there. They need to take care of buildings. Can't just shut door and walk away.

Guest Max Vogel of Lion Tony Dolphay
Program: Lindsey Bennett and Carlee Elke, Havre Trails
Havre Trails is looking for support for trails in the Bear Paw mountains. They are working as a liaison between rocky boy and county. Links to Beaver Creek trail with Rocky Boy and is to go to White buffalo and ski hill. The Trails group is to be responsible for the part from the boundary to the water falls on the reservation.
Rocky Boy counsel is in line with what they want.
Havre Trails is proposing to put in gravel up to water falls. Reservation will take care of rest. Lions Campground is adjacent to trail, so they thought we may be interested in supporting monetarily or with physical help. Havre Trails received grant to work on trails. They have support from Hi-line board of realtors and others.
Lion tony: “Does it include a tribal permit to go to reservation.” It is in early stage this is a question that they need to take to the counsel.
Permit for using Reservation land is$100 per year.
Lion Bob Patera: 5 years ago Lions donated 2500 dollars. Should be some money in there from us. It was for going down the creek.
Lion Toth will sell fine free and money goes to Lions. Lion Jerry Kuhn paid $8.00 for fine free.
Discussion on Nature trail: Do we need to pay to use it? Question that needs to be answered before we commit.
Guest Speaker. Clint Solomon:
Thanks for sponsoring the rodeo in the past.
Change: it will be open rodeo and get more people in, high school, Canadian, ranch bronc riding. They are doing what we can and give kids a chance to get involved in rodeo. No change in sponsorship: Will do rodeo themselves instead of giving to national org.
Lion Tony: Was PRA. Cost will not be any less. All the money will go back into rodeo trying to keep it going and be part of community.
If we want we can sell Pronto Pups in stands.
