NAMI North American Membership Initiative

District 17-K has been working to set up goals and

objectives for the year. The main goal is gaining new members and retaining those we have.

If you would like to be part of this innovative group,

please contact your Zone Chair or any member of the District Governor Team.

The ideas that flow from these meetings are exciting

and important for us all.

DISTRICT 17-K LEADS THE WAY! Clubs throughout the District are making the

news again. Each of these clubs has found a

way to thank First Line Responders in their

communities. They are serving even if their

club is not actively meeting. Lions are thanking

those who are there to help whenever needed.

They are showing the world why everyone

needs Lions in their communities!

Did you get your Peace

Poster Kit? What a great

time for kids to be working

on posters! Good luck!!

Day October 8th

Hello Lions,

What a great month for Lions. I am SO proud of everyone

who took part in the First Line Responder District-wide

Project! What an amazing project with everything going on

in our world right now. First Responders were thrilled to be

recognized and thanked for their service. Whether clubs

were meeting regularly or not, they made time to make this

happen. The idea of a district wide project is to Serve, to

Teach others about Lions and to Join Together as a united

front for all to see. Most of these clubs worked to get their

project in the local newspaper to bring awareness to Lions

Clubs and promote service and membership. If your club

has not done this yet, please consider taking part in this

project. It is truly one to remember.

Back by Club Demand is our District Leadership Conference.

We would like to offer this in person as well as by Zoom.

You do NOT have to have a Zoom account to join. Just click

the link and follow the instructions to get to the meeting. As

we get closer, we will make a final decision on in-person

training. If you attend via Zoom, you could always get

together as a club at home and have one computer to log

into the meeting. We will try to have breakout rooms for

discussion with all of your club members in the room with

you.

We will be going over new and innovating ways to gain

members, new service projects that do not involve close

interaction with large groups and will discuss the importance

of enthusiasm as a leader for club growth. Mark your

calendar today and please plan to take part in this

worthwhile conference and enjoy hearing ideas from other

Lions throughout our state.

On a very sad note, I did not visit any clubs in September

and my visits in November have been cancelled as well.

Being a DG that very much enjoys meeting the Lions in our

district and wanting to be there to help in any way possible,

this is a very difficult and sad time. However, I want to visit

only when clubs feel comfortable with the visit and will work

to keep all Lions safe in our district. If you would like me to

visit please call or send an email to LionDianaB@yahoo.com.

I look forward to the time when I can get out to see each

one of you. My goal as DG was to be sure to visit every club.

This may not happen given our current situation but my

My fingers are still crossed that I can meet this goal before the

end of my year as District Governor!

World Diabetes Day is November 14th and I am very pleased

to report that the Hays Lions will be holding a Strides Walk in

the Hays Mall on that very day! The club plans to have

informational handouts, freebies and hopefully shirts for

walkers. The time is 10-4 so walkers can come and go to

eliminate a large crowd. Free will donations can be made to

support children who wish to attend Diabetes Camp. What a

great project! If any other clubs would like to hold a Strides

Walk, contact me and I will see what I can do to get you

promotional items as well.

Do you remember our Great Pancake Escape from last year?

2VDG Tom wants to do it again!! Are you having a Pancake

Day this year? If so, please let us know when and where asap

so we can make plans to attend!! As of this writing, the two

clubs we knew about with Pancake Feeds have both

postponed to keep their members and community safe. They

plan to hold their yearly event as soon as active cases decline.

Be sure to enter all your Service Projects into

MyLion – including First Responder Projects.

District 17-K has had the most service reported in

any District in Kansas and we want to continue that

trend. Great job Lions!!

I can’t wait to see the Peace Posters you all turn in this year!

I very much appreciated being able to take part in judging

posters with the Smith Center Lions last year. The number of

entries they had was amazing! If you need an extra judge or

just a cheerleader for a good cause – give me a call! Any

project with children is one that is near and dear to my Lion

heart.

I offer condolences to families who lost loved ones this last

month. District K had a few PDGs and spouses that passed

away. My heart is with you all.

Continue to be the cheerleader for your club. Offer

enthusiasm and ideas for new projects. YOU will make the

difference we all need.

Until we meet again, take care dear Lions.

Greetings fellow Lions.

I am pleased to see that so many clubs got involved in

our September service project. Even though many of

our clubs are not meeting yet, they have got creative to

honor our first responders. I am hoping that many clubs

will continue with our October service of vision. Our

own club has always in the past had a candy day where

we gave out either suckers or pencils at one of our

Dillons stores. We have decided not to do this with the

Covid worry this year. This has always been a good

fundraiser for us and for KLSF. We will just do some

brainstorming for something different this year. I love

that all of you are doing these service projects. It keeps

your club name out in the public so everyone knows that

we are still around and possibly gain some new

members.

I have just made one visitation so far this year. I visited

the Fort Larned Lions Club on September 21. I always

enjoy visiting this club. They are so active in their

community. I have always been amazed at their

Christmas basket project. I will be visiting with the

Downs and Glen Elder clubs on October 19. I am anxious

to get more visitations scheduled. I know some more

clubs are starting to meet again.

In these trying times a lot of meetings have gone to

zoom. Our next state council meeting will be on zoom

also. We have held many zoom meetings these past few

months getting prepared and hosting leadership

training. I do think that we will continue to have some

zoom meetings. I like the idea of having meetings both

in person and virtual. That way if members don’t have

the time to travel to the meetings they can still attend.

Myself, I do like the personal meeting. I hope some of

you were able to attend some of the virtual meetings of

the USA/CANADA FORUM. They had some good

sessions.

I am so pleased with all that DG Diana has been doing. If

we all could be excited about being a Lion and making our

communities a better place, then we would make her job

easier and make all of us feel better. It is so heart-

warming to be helping someone in need.

Let us all remember to report the service projects that we

do. Also be sure to JUST ASK to get new members. You

will never know if a prospect is interested in joining unless

you ask. Just think, with more members we can provide

more service. Remember your District Governor Team is

here to help.

Hoping to see many of you soon,

1st VDG Randy St. Aubyn

OCTOBER DISTRICT PROJECT:

VISION AWARENESS MONTH

District 17-K’s October Project is anything

doing with sight. Glasses for a student,

awareness flyers, sight screening, donations to

Kansas Lions Sight Foundation, etc.

There are some schools that are asking Lions

to do Sight Screenings. If you have people

willing to do the screening, give your schools a

call. The kids are still going to school and still

having issues seeing.

Remember to send us pictures of your

screenings and to report your service in My

Lion!

Of course, our Lions safety comes first so

please follow the guidelines for safe

screenings. Thank you Lions!

Day October 8th

Greetings Fellow Lions,

World Sight Day was October 8. This special day was

started by the Lions in 2000 and has grown to be the

most important date worldwide related to the

advocacy and communication of eye health. Please

consider doing a project related to Sight in October.

There are many things you can do such as collect used

eyeglasses, vision screen at a local school, or help a

needy person purchase eyeglasses.

October is also Lions Membership Growth Month. I

would encourage all the clubs in District 17K to plan a

membership growth event in October or November.

You can have fun with a membership contest by

dividing your club into teams and giving points for

bringing guests to meetings and for recruiting new

members. You can plan a club membership party and

invite friends and neighbors to learn more about the

great service your club is doing. Sometimes just asking

people to visit your club works as well.

Looking forward to next month, November 14 is World

Diabetes Day. Diabetes is one of the five worldwide

causes that Lions Clubs International encourages us to

support. I encourage all the clubs in our District to

plan a Diabetes related service project in November.

Two possibilities are a Diabetes Awareness event

and/or a Diabetes Screening Event. The LCI website

has materials that can be downloaded to support both

types of events. There is still time to organize these

projects. The Hays Lions are planning a Strides Walk

for diabetes awareness at the Mall on November 14. I

know other clubs are planning diabetes projects as

well.

On September 10 I visited the Hugoton Lions Club. It

was their first meeting of the Lions year and they made

it a social gathering. I had the honor of presenting

Lion Tommy Romero with a Melvin Jones Fellowship.

L-R: Tommy Romero, Treasurer; 2VDG Tom

Baumann; Rick Kates, President

Tommy is the club treasurer and has been a Lion for

over 38 years. Lion Tommy is very deserving of this

recognition.

Our next District Cabinet meeting is November 7 in

Hays at noon. We are planning another Leadership

Training for the same day. The training will start at

9:00 a.m. and we will have some new and

interesting topics that will help you make your club

meetings fun, keep your members engaged, and

provide great service to your community. More

details are forthcoming and will be emailed to you.

Yours in Lionism,

2VDG Tom

Attention District 17-K The first 2-3 clubs that schedule a

Strides Walk or Community

Diabetes Event will receive free

handouts and giveaways!

Contact GST Randy St. Aubyn, DG Diana Baumann or

Teamwork…It Is Good For Your Health

Wolves do it. Dolphins do it. Canada Geese do it, and so do

Lionesses in the wild. What am I talking about?

Teamwork...they use teamwork to benefit the group. We

Lions (the human kind) can also benefit from working as a

team. There are multiple reasons to believe that teamwork

enhances health and well-being.

First, let me explain that the animals listed above team up

to get food, mainly, but also to take care of problems they

may face or long and arduous tasks that require

encouragement. You have heard the Canada Geese overhead,

and that honking usually comes from the leader who is

encouraging those behind in the V formation to keep flying.

That leader swaps places with another goose in time, and this

keeps them successfully headed to their seasonal feeding

grounds. Such cooperation is necessary to the well-being of

the flock.

In our Lions clubs, we want cooperation and often rely on

teams to put together ideas, how-to’s, and complete a

project. In addition to getting things accomplished,

teamwork also benefits our individual health, both physical

and mental.

The elements of good, successful teamwork include these:

communication, efficiency, support of each member,

delegation of duties, and generation of good ideas, which may

come from brainstorming. Did you know that when you

develop a new thought or take up a new interest like

learning to pay the piano or painting a picture, you are

growing new dendrites in your brain? Yes, that is true. Those

dendrites connect pathways to other dendrites and make

your brain healthier and stronger. A healthy brain is a must

for success and continued happiness in life.

So good communication is important in that it gives you

more ideas to think about and keeps the team on task or

aware of problems. Without good communication, a team

will surely fail. Communication also keeps us connected to

each other. If one does not communicate with those around

him, life gets a bit lonely, most likely. Lonely people seem to

expire earlier in many cases. Having good communication

between team members is like a splash of cool water on a hot

day - it makes one feel better.

Efficiency is important because teams burn out if nothing

ever gets accomplished. Teams make more and faster

progress than do people alone. There is an African proverb

which covers this: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want

to go far, go together. Teams want to get things done, and

they feel a real sense of personal and team accomplishment

when the job is done and success is evident.

Teams need ideas to be generated, and again, there is that

dendrite growing that everyone should be glad of personally.

Between team members, many ideas can be spoken and the

good ideas winnowed down to the very best, and then work

can begin. This is healthy for team members, as it gives

them some mental acuity in developing their ideas and then

working together to accomplish that goal. Sometimes, ideas

require physical activity - like working our pancake suppers

or working in a summer camp for hearing impaired children.

This is excellent for us, especially those of us who are retired

and more likely to be on the computer all day or “couch

potatoes.”

Another element that creates better health is delegation. If

one feels responsible for getting something accomplished for

the team, it makes him work and think and maybe do

physical activities that promote better health habits. One

thing I think of is walking from door to door...remember the

earlier broom sales that had Lions going out into the town to

get orders? If one is delegated that kind of responsibility, it

creates physical health opportunities. (Ulysses had one older

Lion in the distant past who outsold all the other members

combined...by walking and gathering broom orders like crazy.

He lived to a ripe old age and was a healthier man for this.)

Support of the team is important health-wise. Morale is

higher when teammates support each other and help each

other realize their goal. Another kind of support is between

teammates when one or more cannot get the assigned work

done. Help from others can be a morale builder, if one knows

he is not going to fail and is not alone. Good morale is

important for good health...both physical and mental. What

we think is what we live. Continued next page…………..

If you are part of a team, remember to cooperate,

communicate, and bring your best to the team. You will

benefit so many ways.

Hello, my fellow Lions, praying this finds you in good health

and Spirits.

As we enter the fourth month of this unique Lions year, I also

pray that your Lions Club is also in good health and spirits. It

has been a trying time for all of us, but we will survive this

Hundred Year Pandemic as the world survived the Flu

Pandemic of the 1918-1920.

The Multiple District 17 applied for and was granted and LCI

Membership Grant. The Multiple District 17 has also

provided funding this year to support Membership efforts in

your clubs. The Multiple District also received a public

relations grant and the Multiple District is also helping fund

the Public Relations in the Kansas Lions Organization.

What does this mean to the Lions Clubs in Kansas? The

NAMI team in conjunction with the public relations

committee is dedicated to providing support to your Lions

Club. All you must do to receive this support is to ask.

For Lions Clubs with membership under 15 members, the

NAMI program provides 10 clubs in each district funding of up

to $200.00 to be used for marketing, recruitment, training,

and member satisfaction programs.

If you want to be considered for this funding, please contact

me and I will start the process for your club.

My email is PIDGENE@AOL.COM.

In Lions Service,

MD 17 GMT Coordinator

(Editor’s Note: You can also contact our District GMT Reland

Cole or District Governor Diana Baumann)

The MD Global Action Teams have been busy in spite of the

pandemic. A big shout of congratulations to the Global Action

Leadership Team. They successfully provided virtual training

for Club Presidents, Secretaries and Treasurers. The GLT

successfully designed the various learning modules that were

used. The zoom platform was used. District Governors and

trained presenters, PDG’s and experienced secretaries and

treasurers in their districts provided the trainings.

Services in the age of pandemic are being done in creative

ways. The Global Action Service Teams are collecting

information on the various projects that clubs provide. These

include financial support for causes in their communities,

making and providing facemasks, honoring first responders

and frontline workers, brightening the lives of those in care

facilities with plants, purchasing eyeglasses, collecting used

eyeglasses and when school began seeing that teachers had

emergency diabetes kits. These are just a few of the services

going on in Multiple District 17.

The Global Membership Team is involved with NAMI (North

American Membership Initiative). The focus is to recruit new

members, establish new clubs and revitalize existing clubs.

Some highlights of their efforts to date include 12 new

members for the Osage City Lions Club in District N. In District

A work is being done to form a new club in Edgerton Kansas.

In District K, work is underway to revitalize the Ellinwood Lions

Club.

Health with PCC Fran cont... Another healthy benefit of teams is friendship. People who work together to accomplish goals

often become very close friends, and having friends is an important part of a healthy life. We humans are not programmed to be

loners. You remember People Who Need People...are the luckiest people in the world. It is a known fact that friends can extend

our lives and help us stay healthier by being there for us and providing some fun. If you are part of a team, remember to

cooperate, communicate, and bring your best to the team. You will benefit so many ways.
