 GOVERNOR
HAS HIT THE 50% MILESTONE
AND 99% PLANNING MILESTONE 99% of the Lion Clubs have been scheduled! Only one club left unscheduled at this time. Really helps with my planning with the rest of my life! By the time I finish the two November visitations I will be at the 50% level for visitations! And, most importantly, First Laddie Lester & I have really been enjoying the great food, the wonderful fellowship and learning about the great projects that our Lion Clubs are conducting within our district. It’s amazing to see all the community service in every community we visit. We are very fortunate that the invitations to visit have allowed us to travel during the most beautiful season that Michigan has to offer. The colors have been fantastic. The best we’ve ever seen so we’ve enjoyed every minute of the traveling. Every Club has it’s own story to tell, but today I will tell the story of Cedar Maple City Club. The picture is of President David McNeil, Lester & I. President Dave had just awarded Lester the:  The Cedar/Maple
City Lions Board
1st LADDIE AWARD certifying that LESTER McCLURE has fulfilled the requirements of THIS PIONEERING POSITION and is hereby admitted the rights and privileges belonging to that position and achievement given under the Board seal. We had so much fun there. Along with the framed certificate Lester received a golden troll lion with a golden staff. The certificate is on our wall and the lion is in the china cabinet. What a great club. We both felt very special. That’s what lionism is all about. Fun, fellowship and enjoying each other. I’m thrilled to be your Governor and we’re having the time of our lives. Congratulations to the Mesick Lions Club on the Chartering of their new Leo Club this month. If you didn't know it before, you know it now, President Andy Wuotila is a very special lion and just won't take no for an answer. He has sponsored six new members this year already! |
The definition adopted last year by the committee states that Information Technology “includes all matters concerned with the furtherance of computer science and technology and with the design, development, installation, and implementation of information systems and applications.” (IPDG John Johnson 11-B2) What does this mean to you?
How will we accomplish this?
What will we do with this information?

| Get a Bigger Bang for your Buck
Here are a couple of ideas that may be helpful for your club to increase your fundraising revenues and increase your scholarships. The Clare Lions Club sends a letter to all businesses in their community requesting donations for their White Cane Sale. This technique has increased their revenues significantly. Club members would not be able to raise the amount they receive without this letter. You can download the letter at the District web page. The Big Rapids Lions Club has been giving a Presidential Freedom Scholarship for a few years and will give 2 this year. The local club must donate $500 which will be matched and the student will receive $1000 total. The only |
restriction is that only 2 scholarships can be awarded by each high
school. You will need to work very closely with the high school counselor
as they are the vehicle to enter the information to the foundation.
You can access this information as a link at the District web page or www.learnandserve.gov
go to “our Programs” and then “Presidential Freedom Scholarship”.
Good luck, I hope these ideas are helpful. If you have any other suggestions that you would like to share with the District, please send them to the District Governor. We all can benefit from your experiences. Lion Kerry McGinley
