It doesn’t seem like the year is going by very fast. I just returned for completing the 2019 California Leadership Institute in Santa Rosa. It was a very empowering three days. I would highly recommend the Institute to any of our members who are interested in expanding their Lions experience. There were 40 Lions from Districts through out Northern and Central California with varied experiences and lengths of service in Lions. There were also several items that I think would benefit our club. There was an excellent survey regarding your thoughts about our club which I would like to offer to all the members. I would like to do this with a survey monkey, so it can be done anonymously, and no one is intimidated by their comments. I also had to prepare a personal mission statement which I found to be difficult. I will send the information on how to do it by PDF, at a later date. I think you will find it interesting to take the time to prepare your own. I highly recommend this course to all the members in our club.

President’s Message: Lion President Don Fleming
Welcome to February. It doesn’t seem like the year is going by very fast.
I just returned for completing the 2019 California Leadership Institute in Santa Rosa. It was a very empowering three days. I would highly recommend the Institute to any of our members who are interested in expanding their Lions experience.
There were 40 Lions from Districts through out Northern and Central California with varied experiences and lengths of service in Lions. There were also several items that I think would benefit our club. There was an excellent survey regarding your thoughts about our club which I would like to offer to all the members. I would like to do this with a survey monkey, so it can be done anonymously, and no one is intimidated by their comments.
I also had to prepare a personal mission statement which I found to be difficult. I will send the information on how to do it by PDF, at a later date. I think you will find it interesting to take the time to prepare your own.
I highly recommend this course to all the members in our club.
Valentines Day is coming up so remember a card or candy for your significant other.

Lions Clubs International Code of Ethics
To Show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.
To Seek success and to demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part.
To Remember that in building up my business it is not necessary to tear down another's; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to myself.
Whenever a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself.
To Hold friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.
Always to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, and my community, as to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act, and deed. To give them freely of my time, labor and means.

February Laughs
www.dchostlions.org
A White Lie Cure
A woman went to the doctor’s office with chronic
hiccups. She was seen by a young new doctor.
After about 3 minutes in the examination room,
the doctor told her she was pregnant. She burst
out of the room and ran down the hallway
screaming.
An older doctor stopped her and asked what the
problem was. After listening to her story, he
calmed her down and sat her in another room. He
then marched down the hallway to the first doc-
tor’s room.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” he demanded.
“This woman is 68 years old, she has two grown
children and several grandchildren, and you told
her she was pregnant?!!”
The new doctor continued to write on his
clipboard and without looking up said, “Does she
still have the hiccups?”
Stomachache
Little Susie, a six year old, complained, “Mommy,
I’ve got a stomachache.”
“That’s because your stomach is empty,” the
mother replied. “You would feel better if you had
something in it.”
That afternoon, Susie heard her father complain-
ing that he had a severe headache all day.
Susie perked up, “Daddy, you have a headache be-
cause your head’s empty”, she said. “You’d feel
better if you had something in it.”
