DISTRICT 11-E2 NEWLSLETTER | July 2014 The seven weeks since I was elected District Governor have been a whirlwind! I have been working with the incoming cabinet on filling cabi- net positions; preparing the new District Directo- ry, visiting clubs to install officers, getting ready to attend the International Convention and work- ing with PDG Wayne Schultz on arranging the training session to be held on July 12 in Mio (see the information later in the newsletter). Fortunately, I had very little to do for the training, as PDG Wayne, and incoming GLT chairman Al Kelpinski handled 99% of the details. PDGs Wayne and Al have lined up a great day of Lions’ education for us, and I hope that each club will have at least one representative attend- ing. This session is the first of this year’s activities in implementing the incoming International President’s theme “Strengthening the Pride.” In addition, we are holding cabinet training that day to be sure that the entire cabinet is prepared to do everything we can to ensure every club has a successful year. I’m sure I will be coming back from the Internation- al Convention brimming with ideas to make this a great year! And, I can’t wait to see what the Mio Lions have planned for lunch! Al- so, a large thanks to them for the excellent facilities and for their work to- wards the success of this training session.

This past year has been an amazing one As Chairperson of Lions Clubs Inter-
national Foundation I had the honor of visiting some of your LCIF grant projects
around the world And I saw that you are changing many lives The world is a
better place because of your efforts to make a difference I would like to share
with you some accomplishments in each of LCIFs service areas written be-
low Without you there would be more children at risk for bullying in schools
more people would lose their vision due to diseases like trachoma more chil-
dren would die each year from measles and there would be less support for
people in need following disasters Together we can continue meeting needs
around the world Thank you for your support of our Foundation
Sincerely
Wayne A Madden Chairperson Lions Clubs International Foundation
Providing Life Skills for StudentsmdashLCIFs Lions Quest program has impacted more than 13 million students around
the world through social and emotional learning As a renowned program for positive life skills for
youth our partners are taking notice ndash NoVo Foundation recently provided a US$300000 grant to
support Lions Quest Lions Quest is also revising its printed curriculum The resulting curriculum
products will be more modern and relevant to issues facing todays youth like bullying and career
readiness The revised program is scheduled to be ready in 2015
Partnering to End MeaslesmdashAt last years convention LCIF partnered with the GAVI Alliance and committed to rais-
ing US$30 million for measles vaccinations by our 100th anniversary in 2017 During the month of
April Lions had some exciting measles activities World Immunization Week this year was a big
success around the world And in just April Lions raised US$13 million for measles vaccina-
tions with support from Abhey and Past District Governor and Board Appointee Aruna Oswal Li-
ons were on the ground in local communities educating people about measles supporting vac-
cination campaigns and spreading awareness
Saving Sight and Preventing BlindnessLions and LCIF are committed to saving sight and preventing blindness where
needed most In China blinding trachoma has affected eye health for many people
Through LCIF SightFirst grants our Foundation is supporting the effort towards elimination of
trachoma as a public health concern by 2016 The fight against trachoma and other eye diseas-
es expands around the world In May 2014 Lions Clubs International leadership and the Lions
of Georgia (USA) joined former US President and Lion Jimmy Carter in a signing ceremony to
commemorate an expansion of the Lions-Carter Center SightFirst Initiative addressing the major
causes of preventable blindness in Ethiopia Uganda Mali and Niger This partnership also
Meeting Humanitarian Needs Globally Numerous disaster relief grants have been awarded throughout the world to
address flooding wildfires tornadoes earthquakes landslides and other natural disasters One
notable disaster wasTyphoon Haiyan in the Philippines LCIF quickly mobilized tents water filtra-
tion units and millions in donations to support those affected And Lions remain on the ground
assisting their communities by rebuilding homes In addition to disaster relief LCIF provided
many grants for Lions projects to support local communities Projects that provided needed hos-
pital equipment built centers for blind and disabled community members purchased mobile

LEADER DOG RAFFLE QUILT
In mid May following the 11-E-2 District Convention DG Gus and I traveled to Leader Dog in Rochester and met with Beth Slade their Lions liaison officer It was our honor and privilege to present to her a check from the district representing proceeds from the quilt raffle raffled at our district convention earmarked for the new kennel project
Gov Gus and I would like to thank all those who participated in the raffle in any way It turned out to be a great success A very special thanks goes out to Joanne Hartzel (my sister) for doing all the sewing on the quilt It took many hours of cutting piecing stitching (and yes blessing) the quilt to make it so perfect The label ldquoTie One On For Leader Dogrdquo brought many a smile to those viewing it Thanks again to everyone

LEADER DOG RAFFLE QUILT
In mid May following the 11-E-2 District Convention DG Gus and I traveled to Leader Dog in Rochester and met with Beth Slade their Lions liaison officer It was our honor and privilege to present to her a check from the district representing proceeds from the quilt raffle raffled at our district convention earmarked for the new kennel project
Gov Gus and I would like to thank all those who participated in the raffle in any way It turned out to be a great success A very special thanks goes out to Joanne Hartzel (my sister) for doing all the sewing on the quilt It took many hours of cutting piecing stitching (and yes blessing) the quilt to make it so perfect The label ldquoTie One On For Leader Dogrdquo brought many a smile to those viewing it Thanks again to everyone

This past year has been an amazing one As Chairperson of Lions Clubs Inter-
national Foundation I had the honor of visiting some of your LCIF grant projects
around the world And I saw that you are changing many lives The world is a
better place because of your efforts to make a difference I would like to share
with you some accomplishments in each of LCIFs service areas written be-
low Without you there would be more children at risk for bullying in schools
more people would lose their vision due to diseases like trachoma more chil-
dren would die each year from measles and there would be less support for
people in need following disasters Together we can continue meeting needs
around the world Thank you for your support of our Foundation
