Gary said we made about $2200 at Bingo.  There are some expenses but we should net that amount.  We had about 135 players, we sold about 35 daubers and $756 on raffle tickets.  We have to pay out about $250 to the participants of the Horsemen’s Association and the Foster Care Program.  The Horseman’s Association didn't get paid for their part in the fare and that crimped their budget.

Ray announced the District Assembly meeting.  We are trying to get 17 members to go.  Its in Corona so you don't have far to go.  It runs on Saturday March 17^th at historic City Hall which is 816 6^th Street.  It starts at 7:50 AM and runs to 8:50 AM which is registration and it runs until 1:50 PM.  Its got Registration, Club Expo., Continental Breakfast, Fellowship, Welcome Announcements, Keynote Speaker, Greg Reed its “Three Feet from Gold”, Exciting Breakout Sessions, Great Rotarian Facilitators, Delicious Mexican Lunch catered  by Miguel's Restaurant and includes a glass of Green Beer.  If we register before March 1^st its $20.00 per person and after that it's $25.00 per person.  It's got an address in here to send the registration with phone numbers and a free Club Expo Table only 30 tables available so reserve now.  There is a raffle for 1000 Paul Harris points.  It's on everybody’s E Mail you can get the announcement and a copy of the Registration to be sent in by the President for everyone going.

Cathy said she has a grant in hand for $5000 that is going in for an important cause.  She must have it by tomorrow so after much discussion it was decided to apply for scholarships and look into other matters as a separate project.
