Wall Mural – information / suggestions

• It was suggested by Elizabeth Olsen to put plywood on the wall, prior to the painting of the mural. If not the paint will peel off the wall in time
• Leo’s could paint it throughout the year, indoors and then when the weather is favourable, the mural can be attached to the wall
• It was also suggested by Elizabeth Olsen to have the Lion’s crest/emblem underneath the painting (Lion’s We Serve)

Old Business

• No Cost Clothing Exchange went very well
  
• Only 35 bags were left afterwards
  
• We will have the Clothing Exchange once a year, in September
