DG Kris’ NotesHello Lions, it has now been two months into my term as your district governor and it has been very enjoyable. August 26th was the first cabinet meeting and we did a fair amount of business. One thing that I would like to bring to your attention is a Special Convention that is going to be held on October 7th in Sylvan Lake. This special convention is being called to endorse Dr. Patti Hill as our candidate for 3rd International Vice President at the International Convention in Milan. I wish to see as many Lions as possible at this special convention. There will also be a special convention for the MD to be held at the C-2 convention in Medicine Hat on Oct 20th- 21st. More information will be coming.The district convention is slowly coming together and the registration form will be available the week of September 4th. The convention will be held in Edmonton at the Radisson Hotel (4440 Gateway Blvd NW). Our International Guest has been confirmed and will be PID Larry Dicus from Whittier, California. At convention, we will be electing our incoming 2nd VDG, VCC candidate, and Hall of Fame candidates but need to have Lions’ names brought forward. Without names, we will be unable to vote for the candidates. If you know a PDG or a Lion that would like to go forward in Lions please let me know as soon as possible.With the Lions year well underway, I would like to remind all Clubs that if you wish to participate in the LCI Peace Poster Contest the district has 40 kits from LCI and they are available from PDG Lion Claude Carignan at a cost of $15.00. He also has poster paper available at 30 cents a sheet. Please contact PDG Claude at [email protected] should your club wish to participate.I am trying to get a schedule setup for visitations so if there is any club that has a special occasion that you wish for me or my team to attend please advise as soon as possible as I have commitments already booked.
We have a new contest starting this Lionistic year and the information is below. This is the PIP Judge Brian Stevenson Contest and its objective is to increase District Clubs’ efficiency by promoting recruitment, keeping members, monthly membership and activity reports and Inter club visits using contests and appreciation awards for the most deserving Clubs. IPDG Ron Wackenhut will be the contest administrator for this year. The top club and Zone Chair will be recognized at the MD Convention, May 4-5, 2018 in Nisku, Alberta. I am still looking for Lions to volunteer as Zone Chairs and other positions in the cabinet. Cabinet positions that are still vacant are: District Environment Chair, Lions Opportunities for Youth, GMT Coordinator, GST Coordinator. If any Lion would like more information about these positions please contact me and I will provide more information.Finally, I would like to recognize Lions achievements on years of Service for July and August.

August 2017 To: All Canadian Past International Officers Your support of our campaign to elect Dr. Patti Hill to serve as an International Officer of our Association has reached a critical stage. As we in Canada know, Dr. Hill has outstanding skills and a leadership vision that will inspire the next generation of Lions. We believe that her leadership vision is of critical importance to the future of LCI and deserving of international support for her candidacy. And we have a growing sense of confidence for success in 2019 Milan. We have been informed that the International Officers have announced their support for the candidacy of PID Brian Sheehan as 3rd International Vice President in Las Vegas 2018. We had hoped the decision would have been otherwise, however, we have been encouraged by a conversation with PID Sheehan who has pledged his support for Lion Dr. Hill for 2019 in Milan. In addition, that encouragement is strengthened by the fact that the International Officers have all urged Patti to seek a renewed Multiple District C endorsement for her candidacy for International Vice President in Milan in 2019. With these events unfolding we are now focusing on 2019 and Milan, Italy. Thirty years ago, the Lions of Canada presented the Lions world with Judge Brian Stevenson as our International President. “The Judge” has provided Canada and the world with exceptional leadership. It is time to reinforce that leadership and Lion Patti Hill is the Lion to carry that leadership torch. With your continued support we can make Milan the victory lap. W. W.
