District Gov. Great Debate Part II

Hello Lions,

Below is a link to the "Great Debate Part II" to be held on March 6th in Milton, between our 2VDG candidates Bill Evans and Al Hedstrom.  Please send this link out to all your club presidents and secretaries so we can get the widest dissemination possible.

The Fife Lions is sponsoring this event, so it is considered an official visitation as long as two or more of your club members attend.

In addition--and I am told this is a VERY important note--please park in the back parking  lot of the library  facility, since the front doors will be locked and access to the front parking lot will only be available by walking all the way around. (a good long hike)

Click on this link to see the event information:

We will have 50 seats available, so let's fill the hall and learn about our two candidates!

Benefits of the Club Excellence Process

Hi, all –

Submitted for your consideration.

Would you like to …

 - Expand your club’s community service work?

 - Make your club a better organization?

 - Make your club more visible to your community and more attractive to prospective Lions?

 - Develop a short- and long-term plan to pursue these goals?

The Club Excellence Process is designed with these goals in mind.  This process is not something that can be completed in one or two meetings; it requires time and commitment to see it through.  And the results can be truly outstanding.

If you’d like more information on this topic, members of the Faculty Development Team are available to make a presentation to your club.  Don’t hesitate to contact me for more details.
