District Governor Gary Kenny The 201Q2 District Governor’s Bulletin Issue 10 – April 2014

Hello fellow Lions of District Q2,

As you are reading this, all Clubs should have completed their elections of their 2014/15 Club Executives and Board.

Congratulations to all Presidents and to your elected officers; your members have entrusted in you the wonderful heritage your Club has built over many years.

The position of President is a prestigious

position, leading, guiding and building your club

in service to your community. To place yourself

in the best position to build on your clubs

record, you should consider starting to plan your

year now.

Also, we have completed March Membership Month – thanks to those Clubs who took the initiative to highlight and grow their Clubs in various ways; I hope that you gained some exposure and success. We should not ease off just yet, with only three months for Presidents to fulfil the goals you set at the commencement of your year.

Remember Presidents-Follow Your Dreams to achieve your desired result!

We do have some excellent growth examples to report.

We can advise some great news with the Charter of a new Club – Madang in Papua New Guinea. Over the last six months or so, some 29 new Lions living in Madang, joined Tabubil, the closest Lions Club. We are pleased to now support Tabubil in sponsoring a new Club in Madang, who with additional new Members, has chartered with 32 Lions. This leaves Tabubil still with 25 Members – also still a viable Club.

Congratulations to Zone Chair Charles Los Amet along with Charter President Joseph Natera, who have been working hard to advance the Lions cause in PNG.

I will be travelling to PNG with Members of the MD PNG Development Team, across April 3rd to 8th, to present the Charter, and to provide some training to our fellow Lions up there.

At every Club visit this year, I have talked up the growth opportunity provided by forming a Branch Club within your own Club. In January (see February Northern Lion), we recognised the formation of the Alligator Creek Branch Club sponsored by Townsville Castle Hill and now we are seeing the formation of two new Branches within my own Club, Mackay Host.

In February, Mackay Host endorsed a request to form a Seniors Branch Club which will be headed by two PDG’s of “senior” years as well as a number of older members who will now meet monthly across lunch, with their own programs and direction. They will also pick up some new Members from the local senior population. As a Branch,

they do not lose contact with their sponsor Club.

In addition, following their representation,

Mackay Host has agreed to sponsor a

Special Interest Branch Club of South Sea Islanders, based initially on the dance troupe who entertained us at the Friday night of District Convention in October. As Lions, they will work to advance “their community” and this spirit accords with the Purposes of Lions.

Can I say that this will bring the number of Branch Clubs within our District to six, with five of these in Mackay Zone! Mackay Host

now has a Youth Branch – then the

traditional Club – and a Seniors Branch – not a bad model!

Branch Clubs are a proven alternative to easily growing your Club – why not consider it? I am available to talk with you regarding Branch Clubs.

On 16th March we had some terrific news with advice that Joel Patterson – Cashman of Tropical North Leos in Mackay, was successful in being selected as our State Leo of the Year.

Hearty congratulations to Joel on this outstanding achievement. He is an outstanding young man and I know that he will have the support at the National Finals in Tamworth, not just of his fellow Leos and Lions in District Q2, but also those of all Queensland. Q2 has a wonderful record with success with our Leos at the National and International level.

Well done Joel and Good Luck!

I have had some great reports of the success of this year’s NAB Lions Youth of the Year. Thank you to all Clubs who have participated, not only at Club level, but also the Zone Chairs and those who have facilitated Zone and Regional Finals. Thank you to NAB, our national sponsor, who also assists by providing judges across the District.

As I write this, excitement is naturally building for the District Final in Mackay on 29th March, then onto the State Final we are hosting in Cairns on 12th April. This year we celebrate our Quest’s 50th year and I am sure each year you are as impressed as I am, by the calibre of the youth coming through into society, exampled by our Quest.

We have exciting news regarding Townsville Castle Hill’s Drought Relief Project, having received approval from the Australian Lions Foundation of a Grant of $50,000 – this puts the total raised to date over the $200,000 mark – and still growing! Well done Castle Hill!

What a truly wonderful story from Rollingstone Club last Bulletin - that of the bequest from their late Member Terry Giles, recognising the comfort and support his Club gave him in his last precious months, giving a surprise lasting legacy to his fellow Lions enabling a Lions Den to be constructed. I have seen the near finished product and it looks very impressive – well done Rolly Members and thanks for sharing this story with us.

Best Regards - till May,

District Governor Gary

FORTY YEARS OF LIONISM Preface – Lion Earle Hill

Below is an article prepared by Lion Earle Hill in

2000 that was passed onto the Proserpine Lions

Club by Earle’s daughter last year.

Earle was an extremely dedicated Lion who

viewed Lionism with great passion which

becomes evident as you read his article. Earle

passed away in February 2012 and was still a

member of the Proserpine Club at the time of his

death. He was born in January 1919 so Earle was

a member of Lions for over 60% (56 years) of his

life – a fact that needs to be applauded.

One of Earle’s tasks at Proserpine, and no doubt

other clubs he was a member of, was being

heavily involved with the production of the Club

Bulletin and other articles used for PR purposes

and Earle used to use the literary pseudonym

“SHAGGY LION”. Earle was far from Shaggy but

the pseudonym is him to a tee.

It is hoped that all who have the opportunity take

the time to read the whole of Earle’s article

because you will not only be pleased that you did

but you will be a little bit more enlightened on

the rewards of Lionism.

An Old Lion Remembers

This article is dedicated to my wife, Lions Lady Joy,

for her constant support and encouragement which

has been my inspiration. A quiet achiever in her own

right, she has also contributed untold hours of Lions

service work without thought of recognition.

When I was inducted into the Lions Club of

Narromine, NSW in 1956, I was told, as is customary,

that membership of Lions Clubs International was a

privilege. Now, more than forty years on, I can

endorse the truth of that statement, as I was led to a

most satisfying and rewarding experience over the

ensuing years.

To start at the beginning – I was bewildered by the

scene of purple and gold banners, the unusual titles

and jargon, the Tailtwister’s antics and other new

and strange behavior. This was an exciting time for a

new Lion. The efforts of Lions (only about 60 clubs in

Australia then) in assisting victims of the NSW

bushfires and floods had earned them public respect

and support. The attitude of the general population

had changed from curiosity and maybe amused

tolerance of this new American based organization,

to recognition and acceptance of our role.

The membership of our club climbed into the sixties

(it peaked at 72) as enthusiasm to join flourished.

Within a year I was elected 3rd VP and appointed

Chairman of the Boy and Girls committee. They did

not believe in leaving a new member without a job in

those days. In retrospect it can be said that the

system works well and early participation promotes

continued interest.

I have lasting memories of two Narromine club

projects from the days of the late fifties and early

sixties.

Firstly the Pre-School Kindergarten. My entry into

Lionism co-incided with the club’s decision to provide

this much needed facility. In brief, I was quickly

introduced to the practice of Lions in action. We first

of all obtained the use of a community hall supper

room for a rental of one shilling a year. While we

sought a qualified teacher our Lions ladies were

conscripted as “volunteer” aides on a roster basis.

Furniture and outdoor equipment was obtained by

varied and devious means. A door to door taxi

service was organsied, and our members were

“invited” to take care of ground maintenance on a

regular basis. I was getting the message of the

enormous power of Lions goodwill as we begged,

borrowed or scrounged everything we needed.

I almost forgot to mention that, as parents, we also

played a role in providing a good percentage of the

“baby boomer” enrolments. This proved to have its

limitations and there was a last minute hitch. To

comply with regulations, our tiny tots had to be at

least two years and nine months old, toilet trained

and able to tie their own shoelaces. With two short

of the required minimum number (for Government

approval and subsidy) officialdom turned a blind eye

as my younger daughter and another little girl (both 2

½ years) proudly went off to “kindy” on opening day.

(Lions are renowned for a degree of “jungle

cunning”)

Readers will appreciate that, after two years of close

involvement with this project, I was “hooked” on

Lions for life.


- 4 -

In later years the club acquired land and built a

modern pre-school building. Lions kindergarten

became a permanent institution in the town.

The other activity was the Short family home project.

Local residential, Mrs Peg Short, was suddenly and

tragically left a widow when her husband, aged 31

years, died of cancer, leaving her with the task of

caring for six small boys (the oldest just ten years).

The club launched an appeal to provide immediate

assistance and then made the momentous decision

to not only provide ongoing assistance for this lady,

but also to finance and build a home for the family. It

was a big challenge requiring total commitment, but

in due course the goal was achieved and mother and

sons moved into their newly constructed home.

Sometime later, when Narromine club received an

International commendation for this project, you can

imagine the warm glow this gave each and every

member.

A footnote:- Some thirty years later one of those sons

became President of a Sydney suburban Lions Club.

He is quoted as having said “as Lions gave so much to

his family, he wished to give something back to his

community”.

Perhaps this was a long term way of recruiting a new

member, but it was certainly a rewarding aftermath.

Please note my repeated use of the word

“rewarding” I can think of no better one to describe

the benefit derived from Lions membership.

Moving onto March 1958 (I’m out of sequence

already and this was inevitable)

Joy and I were part of an audience of 250 who

listened spellbound to (then) International President

Ed Barry’s address when he visited Narromine (Lions

and their ladies came from all over central and

western NSW). We learned then of the international

scope of Lions as President Ed told of his travels and

described what Lions were achieving worldwide.

There was to be a small sequel to that evening.

Twenty-five years later, when attending the 1983

International Convention at Honolulu, by chance I

met a group of American Lions from Little Rock,

Arkansas (the city that produces all kinds of famous

people e.g. U.S President Bill Clinton). I was deeply

moved when one of their number, a blind Lion,

reached into his pocket and presented me with his

club badge. The badge, a treasured possession,

carries an embossed portrait of Ed Barry, the

inscription INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT 1957-58, and

the further wording Pulaski Heights Lions Club, Little

Rock.

Service above and beyond………………..a final story

from the early days.

One Narromine club member literally gave his life

while serving others. A local dentist and a lifesaver in

his youth, he swam as a member of a Lions team in a

combined clubs charity carnival. Ignoring the facts of

age, little training and lack of condition, he gave of

his utmost, finished his race, climbed out of the pool

and died.

On another occasion our local ambulance officer, a

talented dancer, assisted Lions by performing a

vigorous Irish dance routine at a fundraising event.

He too forgot that he was a little older and little

heavier than in days gone by…….and paid the

ultimate penalty when he collapsed and died after

the end of his performance. The club then staged yet

another function in aid of this man’s widow. This, in

turn, was washed out by rain, but rain insurance and

an understanding agent saved the day.

The life of a Lion is seldom dull, but sometimes there

are very sad moments.

The Proserpine Connection……..1968 onwards and

the second phase of my Lions experience began.

Once again I was lucky to be in the right place at the

right time when this club was chartered. Now, in

year 2000, there are only four other surviving charter

members: Geoff Dray, Barry Humphries, Ray Pini and

Tano Murolo. How time passes – these Lions are “old

timers” too, each with more than thirty years service.

How fortunate I have been to enjoy membership of

two large, active clubs which have the benefit of

numbers (many hands make light work) and a pool of

expertise and experience to draw upon.

Add to this the vigour and enthusiasm of our newer

younger members and you have a sure formula for

success.

In November 1993, the Proserpine Guardian

published an editorial praising Proserpine Lions, both

past and present, for their achievements over the

preceding twenty five years.


- 5 -

What this testimonial strikingly emphasized was the

rapport which had developed between the club and

the local community. Reference to this press

publicity appears on page 181 in the Lions 50th

Anniversary book, “Look Forward with Pride,” where

the author notes that the paper’s comments could

equally apply to all of Australia’s 1400 Lions Clubs.

As I try to mentally review my years of personal

experience with Proserpine club three events

immediately come to mind. First our “trademark”

Harvest Festivals for their fellowship and fun, the

busy hours of work, the infectious enthusiasm and

finally the satisfaction and reward for effort.

Then there was our “Opera House” District

Convention in 1981, remembered because as

Convention Secretary, this was probably the most

difficult Lions job, requiring sustained effort, that I

have ever done. There were many problems and not

everything went according to plan. However it was

all worthwhile in the end as the Convention was a

notable success. Special mention to our Lions ladies

who worked tirelessly leaving no job undone.

Catering for the Air Pageant in the late 1980’s also

appealed to me greatly as it was a new and different

project (variety is the spice of life) The resultant “sell

out” success was an extra bonus.

I now digress for a story from our 1999 Harvest

Festival. In a case of “the iceman does NOT cometh”

the job of placing crushed ice in hundreds –

correction, several thousand – plastic cups in our

busy spirits bar, is not sought after and cannot be

given to anyone likely to bear a grudge. But, last

October, we witnessed a memorable sight. The

heavily pregnant wife of one of our young Lions

volunteered to assist. For hours she sat on a stool

and performed this dull but important task to the

admiration of all. Our members were gracious

enough to present mother and new baby with

flowers and gifts two weeks later.

The Madang Interlude – 1976-79

Living in PNG in those years, I transferred to the

Madang club and I recollect:

• Sparkling dinner conversations, with more

than fifteen nationalities represented in a

forty plus membership club.

• Emphasis on health and education projects in

a developing country.

• Highly enjoyable and very profitable, club

sponsored progressive dinners. Can you

imagine four courses served in four different

exotic locations around Madang Harbour,

with a fifth (optional) stop for some unofficial

gambling? As everything was donated the

result was always 110% profit.

One Lions lady achieved lasting fame for her

scrumptious tomato and corn and ham soups.

Everyone had to try both and it was a struggle to

carry on after the first stop.

Sadly this Lions Club is no more. It was succeeded by

a strong Lioness Club which performed well for some

years until it too, was forced to disband.

Back to Proserpine and the events of the eighties and

nineties.

My next two items demonstrate how projects can

vary greatly in scope and size but still be equally

important. (One is reminded of the biblical story of

the widow’s mite).

As Bill Tresise, Founder of Lionism in Australia once

said: “How can there be opposition in the field of

service?” I am sure he would allow me to add the

words “or comparisons”.

A Small Project……..A Large Reward

Some years ago, in conjunction with Lions World

Service Day, Proserpine Club donated boxes of

“Goodies” to certain aged, handicapped persons.

The recipients, few in number, were selected by the

local Sister I/C Blue Nursing Service on the basis that

they were infirm, living alone and totally without

support from family or friends.

I have a vivid memory of delivering one gift box

(packed with fruit, cordial, Xmas cake, biscuits,

chocolate, tinned food etc) to a lady whose name I

have long since forgotten. Crippled with arthritis and

scarcely able to move around on crutches, she was

overcome by the occasion.

It was a delight to watch the play of emotions on her

face – a mixture of surprise, pleasure and gratitude –

a Lion could not wish for greater satisfaction from

what was a small but such a rewarding task.

Perhaps the new Board of Directors may see fit to

restore this worthwhile project next October.

A Speech to Remember:

You will be aware that, each year, Lions International

present a Humanitarian Award to the person judged

most outstanding in the world, in some field of

service to humanity. (Mother Teresa and former US


- 6 -

President Carter have been among the illustrious

recipients).

This honour was bestowed in 1983 on Art Linkletter,

author and renowned public speaker. As keynote

speaker at the Honolulu Convention this gifted orator

delivered a powerful and moving address.

He told us how his daughter, crazed out of her mind

on LSD had jumped to her death from a skyscraper

window. This tragedy inspired him to devote his life

to a crusade against drugs abuse.

It was a memorable experience as we listened to him

describing the million dollar campaigns he was

presiding over, to promote awareness of this menace

and activate measures to combat its destructive

effects.

I, along with thousands of other Lions, will never

forget that address.

What a privilege (that word again) to have heard

such a brilliant speaker who had the ability to hold

his audience entranced. One could not fail to

appreciate his sincerity and devotion to a cause

which came through loud and clear.

Our own inimitable Lion Jim Richardson…….we knew

him well and saw and heard him often….also

belonged to this elite group.

(Pardon the flashback to the fifties again)

Ladies in Lionism:

I would be among the first to acknowledge the

enormous contribution that our ladies, whether they

be lady Lions, Lionesses or Lions ladies, have made

and are continuing to make to our service record.

There is no doubt that the presence of lady Lions has

guaranteed the survival of some of our smaller clubs.

As with many other organisations, their efforts, often

unseen and unsung, have ensured the success of

many a project.

I have to make special mention of the dedicated,

hardworking ladies of Proserpine Lioness Club. Their

members are constantly assisting us in addition to

their other numerous activities. We join together for

certain meetings and share Change-Over ceremonies,

all of which are mutually enjoyable occasions.

Quite possibly this relationship is just another

example of two such clubs working together in

complete harmony, with all members comfortable in

their respective roles.

They also Serve:

Having served two typical Australian Communities as

a Lion for many years, I have come to greatly admire

the qualities of these residents.

In my opinion they are God fearing, law abiding,

hardworking and generous to a fault. I have always

seen a Lions Club as a means to an end; an

instrument to harness the innate kindness and

compassion inherent in every decent human being.

Lions provide leadership and direction, but we

depend on the goodwill and support of our local

people for our continued, successful operation.

They are our strength and I pay tribute to them.

To Be Careful with my Criticism and Liberal with my

Praise

…… how many times have you heard these works

spoken?

We invite a member to give of his time and

effort…..maybe often at the expense of his family

and/or work or business…..to service his

community…..and to pay dues and other expenses

for the privilege.

All very commendable but sometimes ruined by a

thoughtless or unkind word, and there is a fair

chance that we have all been guilty at one time or

another. There is nothing new about phrases such as

“knife and fork Lions” and “cutting out the dead

wood” etc. These expressions were used forty years

ago and may have led to the loss of valuable

members.

Every member’s contribution, however small, is

important. To what extent can we criticize a fee

paying volunteer? Perhaps there are current health,

financial, domestic or work problems of which we are

unaware. This vital ethic is a plea for tolerance and

understanding.

Relative to the above I have read that when Lionism

was in its infancy in USA a typical Lions club of 30

members in a small town (!) of 30,000 people would


- 7 -

consist mainly of wealthy senior executives with time

to spare, unlimited resources and power to delegate.

How different the composition of Lions clubs became

when Lions came to Australia! Membership came

mainly from the 30’s and 40’s groups, those family

men with the least spare time. And they rushed to

join!

Proof of the slogan: IT’S GREAT TO BE A LION.

International Conventions:

Attendance at two of these conventions, with my

wife Joy, must rate as highlights of my Lions career.

I still remember the spectacle and incredible

atmosphere of the 1983 Honolulu Convention.

Seeing more than 40,000 Lions and their families on

display, as it were, on the world stage, really brings

home the strength, diversity and worldwide

significance of our organistion.

Viewing the traditional parade, which took 4 ½ hours

to pass a given point was a never to be forgotten

experience.

In Taipei in 1987 it was the kindness and hospitality

of the Taiwanese people which left a lasting

impression on my mind, and made our travels so

enjoyable.

With forward planning, attending a convention need

not be so expensive. Taipei was a good example of

how subsidised travel and accommodation can

reduce costs e.g. a taxi fare all over this large city cost

the equivalent of $2 Aust.

Don’t miss going to one of these events if the

opportunity arises.

What does the future hold?

First thought is that we may soon have an Australian

as International President for the very first time. This

is an exciting prospect, talked about for years past. I

hope it does eventuate because I believe Australian

Lions have earned the right to be represented at this

high level.

Then we are about to see one of five distinguished

candidates elected as an International Director for

the next two years.

Here in Proserpine our club’s future appears bright

and secure. We are inducting a steady input of both

new and younger members. Their drive and

enthusiasm will be essential for the club’s ongoing

success in this new century.

On the personal side I am pleased that my son,

Graham is an active Lion. After some years of

membership in Brisbane and Rockhampton clubs he

is now carrying on the tradition in Port

Moresby….encouraged and supported by his wife,

Sandra, a former Leo club officer. As for me, well I

still consider membership of a Lions Club, such as

Proserpine, to be a privilege and that statement

brings me “back to square one” where I commenced

this rambling report.

A Special Thank You.

I owe a debt of gratitude to Lion Dr Keith McLachlan,

one of the pioneers of Lionism in Australia (with 47

years service this year) who brought the idea of a

Lions club from Lismore to Narromine….and so into

my life.

To a dear friend and a dedicated Lion I say thank you

again.

I hope he will excuse any errors in this article on the

grounds of my failing memory.

Conclusion.

I would like to conclude with my favorite Lions

quotation. The words were composed by the man

who was guiding the destiny of Lions in 1959-1960,

and I became one of his greatest fans. His message

to every Lion, under the heading CLOSING THE

BOOKS is as relevant today as it was forty years ago.

This is what the late Clarence L Sturm (then)

President, Lions International, wrote -

“The effort and loyalty and enthusiasm we gave our

membership will determine the dividends we get out

of it. The love of crippled children, the gratitude of

the needy, the grateful smile of the blind and

handicapped, the respect and confidence of our

communities and the brotherhood of our fellow man

are the rich and glorious rewards……the profits, if you

please….of being a good Lion, all year, in all ways”.

LIONS AUSTRALIA SPINAL CORD FELLOWSHIP

“towards a cure for

chronic spinal cord injury”

In 1998 Dr. George Owens, the President of Spinal Cord Society of Australia, arranged to speak at the Lions Club of Traralgon Vic meeting merely looking for financial support for his organisation. He spoke of statistics that put one person per day into a wheelchair in Australia, results from swimming accidents, car crashes, sporting injuries etc, his own son is a paraplegic due to an accident so he knew the results of these accidents at first hand. As a result of these accidents the cost to the Australian community is over $2 billion per year spread over a whole range of support services, Dr. Owens address moved the Lions to consider support for the Society and after setting up a small committee to investigate further they then took this project to District to support the Spinal Cord Fellowship as a Regional Project, this was adopted. Further down the track the Project was taken to the 2000 MD Convention in Perth and in 2003 Hobart MD Convention the Fellowship became a Category B activity of Lions Australia. Currently, there are three scientists who hold Lions Spinal Cord Fellowships and are working together on a cure. This is a very costly exercise. Some recent purchases include $86,000.00 for a microscope to enable analysis of images, $15,000.00 to purchase a Compumedic device that measures recovery in sensation beyond the spinal cord injury and $10,000.00 was provided for refrigerators and freezers for the laboratory, there are several ongoing projects that require funding which will cost in the vicinity of $505,000.00.

The Lions Spinal Cord Fellowship generally makes appeals to Lions Clubs for support. Some Clubs donate from a “fun run” maybe hold a BBQ, or something else to encourage Clubs to raise much needed funds. The Fellowship has an award “WYN TYQUIN AWARD” that can be purchased for $500.00, there is a lot more information on their website www.lascf.org.au and you can donate online or send your donation to:- Lions Australia Spinal Cord Fellowship Post Office, Toongabbie Victoria 3856 This is just another one of our Lions projects that new members need to know about and us not so new need to be reminded.

When you go through the turnstiles at the train station, after paying your fare, you walk down a long, wide passage to get to the train platforms for all the train lines - at the end of the passage is a wall before you have to turn left to get to the platforms. The electronic billboard is on that wall and is 'right in your face'. Great exposure! Well done District 201W1.

Children of Courage Awards

The Lions Children of Courage Awards Program is now established as an important and extremely worthwhile project of Lions Clubs in our District. What are the Lions Children of Courage Awards?

The Children of Courage awards recognize a very special group of children and their families. There are many awards that recognize the achievements of young people, however children with ‘special needs’ were not catered for. These awards are especially designed to recognize the courage and bravery shown by these children every day. The Children of Courage Awards are not a competition. Every recipient of an award is a “winner” in his or her own right, as the recognition of these young peoples’ achievements will:

Act as an encouragement for their future Help them to believe in themselves, and Help to increase their self-worth

All Children want to be accepted by others, regardless of any special needs they may have. These awards will portray them as children who have successfully overcome additional barriers which face them in this world.

Categories of Awards

There are four (4) categories for which a child may be nominated …

Special Needs

Children with special needs who have shown courage in the face of adversity.

Such Children include those who are confined to wheelchairs, who are sight, hearing, or speech impaired, or have undergone long periods of medical treatment, surgery or hospitalization, which has perhaps brought pain and trauma to their young lives.

Courageous Act or Deed

A child who without regard for personal safety, has been instrumental in the preservation of life and/or property, or has rendered assistance at an accident, or whose concerns for others is worthy of recognition.

This category may also include children who have undergone lifesaving surgery, or undergone

daily medical treatments i.e. diabetes. A child who acts as a carer for a parent may be recognized under this category.

Sibling Recognition Award

This category is for siblings who actively participate in the daily care for their brother or sister who has a ‘special need’.

Inspiring Sporting Achievement

For children who have overcome great personal hardship/disadvantage to compete as an individual or team member in their chosen sport.

Nominations

In every community there are certain to be worthy nominees for a Lions Children of Courage Award. Nominations are forwarded through local Lions Clubs for consideration and approval and are restricted to children aged between the ages of 5 and 15 years.

Lions Clubs who may wish to participate may obtain an information kit from the District Chairman:

Lion Peter Phillips P O Box 20 Trebonne 4850 Ph: 07 47771248 M: 0437 391 281 Email:[email protected]

Children of Courage

I would like you all to meet

Hayley Verwey.

She is 11 years old and was

nominated by the Cairns

Club for her Sporting and

Courageous merits. Hayley

has 2 younger sisters (4 -

2) and she has been in

foster care since the age of

6. Hayley has only had the

opportunity to see her

sisters on a fortnightly basis during supervised contact

with their mother. She has never met her father.

Above everything, Hayley throws all her energy into

school and extracurricular activities.

Hayley is a Child of Courage.

To all the Clubs in the District I would like you all to

find your Children of Courage.

Chairperson Lion Peter Phillips.

Drought Relief Project

Aussie Helpers with the support of Lions Clubs of Townsville Castle Hill, Whitsunday and Charters Towers Clubs (Host, Gold City and Dalrymple) held a get together at the Charters Towers saleyards to provide stock feed and pamper packs to local graziers who have been affected by the prolonged drought.

Whitsunday Lions presented a cheque for $6,030 on the day bringing their overall total to $16,030 as well as donating pamper packs to the families.

The highlight was a presentation to Brian Egan of Aussie Helpers of a cheque for $50,000 being a donation from Australian Lions Foundation.

Townsville Castle Hill Club President, Phil Highland together with Brian Egan, were delighted that ALF had contributed such a substantial donation and on behalf of the clubs present and Aussie Helpers thanked ALF for their generous support.

President Phil went on to thank the Charters Towers Clubs, in particular, John Butcher

from the Host Club, for their support and donation of barbeque meals, drinks and shelters. Charters Towers Gold City Lions also donated a cheque for $500 to Aussie Helpers on the day.

It was a good opportunity for the Clubs to meet some of the local graziers and families to better understand their plight and their important role as a primary producer for the nation. They have advised that the rain was very patchy, the Richmond area in particular is still very much drought stricken. Other factors affecting them are low cattle prices and long delays in the meatworks being able to book the cattle in for processing.

Cathedral Leos Biggest BBQ for ALCCRF

Cathedral School Leos provided the BBQ at the

recent Middle School Expo, and decided to use

the occasion to support children's cancer

research through ALCCRF.

Picture shows the Leos happily at work.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE...

CHANGE THE WORLD...

SPONSOR A LEO CLUB

When you start a local Leo club, young people in

your community have a unique opportunity to

develop into humanitarians and leaders. Leo

clubs encourage young people to develop

valuable skills and to serve others in their

neighborhoods and around the world.

Whether school-affiliated or communitybased,

Leo clubs provide their members with the

camaraderie and growth that come from

participation in community service projects,

social functions and leadership development

activities.

Through Leo clubs, you will have a positive

influence on today’s youth and young adults –

helping them become better citizens and leaders

for life.

A BRIGHT FUTURE

Leo clubs provide the young people of your

community with an opportunity for development

and contribution – individually and collectively –

as responsible members of their local, national

and international communities.

The Leo club motto – Leadership, Experience,

Opportunity – says it all:

LEADERSHIP: Leo members acquire skills

as project organizers and motivators of their

peers.

EXPERIENCE: They discover how teamwork

and cooperation can bring about change in

their community and the world.

OPPORTUNITY: Leos develop positive

character traits and receive recognition for their

contributions.

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

WHO CARE

Leo clubs are open to young people with good

character who have an interest in serving their

communities. Based in schools or in the

community, Leo clubs are divided into two

tracks: Alpha and Omega.

ALPHA LEO CLUBS are designed for

youth between 12 and 18 years old. This

track focuses on the individual and social

development of teens and preteens.

OMEGA LEO CLUBS are tailored for young

adults between 18 and 30 years old. This track

is designed for the personal and professional

development of young adults.

Youth who join Alpha clubs have fun, make

new friends and experience the rewards of

serving others. This gives young people a

strong foundation as they learn the meaning

of leadership and service.

Omega clubs help members further develop

their leadership skills and prepare them

for a lifetime of community involvement

and contribution to society. Plus, Leos learn

valuable lessons and make connections that

can help them succeed for the rest of their lives.

ENERGIZE YOUR

LIONS CLUB

Through involvement with a Leo club, you can

energize your Lions club and inspire members.

What’s more, the Leo Club Program can increase

your Lions club’s community exposure, attracting

potential members such as young professionals,

parents and families.

Cairns Barrier Reef Lions at Work

Big kids, with big hearts … Barrier Reef Lions Club members “tested” some old play equipment

outside the paediatric ward at Cairns Hospital.

The Cairns Barrier Reef Lions Club is an extremely active club. In December alone, through just plain hard work over $12,000 was raised from sausage sizzles, Christmas raffle, Christmas trees, Lions Cakes and Puddings and Lions Mints. The Club made a commitment with Glenys Duncombe of the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation to support the construction of the new $1.23 Million Paediatric Playground project at the Cairns Hospital during President Ivor Player’s term in office and has been completed by our current President Ian Scholl. The Club’s donation of $5,000 not only benefits the children and families of Cairns but encompasses those to the North even as far as Papua New Guinea, to at least as far as Babinda in the South and into the Tablelands areas. It will cater for the care of children with varying levels of physical and sensory ills.

As we well know from Lions involvement with youth, they are the future of our country; it is they who will be our future Political leaders, scientists and teachers. It is our responsibility to make sure their infant nurture is provided for and their development into adulthood is as educational and fulfilling as possible. Therefore their physical wellbeing is paramount. Congratulations Lion Gloria Demartini

Member for Whitsunday Jason Costigan presents Lion Gloria Demartini with her Queensland’s Inspiring Women Speakers Award 2014.

Whitsunday Lion, Gloria Demartini, has done it again!

This time the award was the Whitsunday Electorate "Queensland’s Inspiring Women Speakers Award 2014." It was presented by the Member for Whitsunday, Jason Costigan, on Friday 7th March. Family & friends were present to congratulate her. Gloria has been involved with many community service organizations within the Whitsunday Community for many years, and is well known for her dedication and expertise in working with young people. This is the second year of these Awards, which coincide with International Women’s Day.

Raising Money for Drought Relief

Baxter

Recently 5 Whitsunday Lions cooked up a storm of egg & bacon burgers + sausages to raise money for the on going drought relief.

We raised $510 on the morning, with a lovely group of ladies coming in from Proserpine to have breakfast with us, having seen our Lions BBQ Drought Relief add in the local paper.

The weather was kind to us and our emergency trailer got a good workout.

So far our club has donated $10,000 to this worthy cause via Castle Hill Lions Club & Aussie Helpers.

We are in talks with Castle Hill Lions to see where best to send our next donation too. A Good Mornings Work Everyone.

March Lions Membership Month

On Saturday 22nd February, Whitsunday Lions Membership Month kicked off. Due to heavy commitments on our Whitsunday Lions during March, it was decided to get in early with a Lions booth located at our Lions Saturday Markets last week.

After the recent wet weather the sun came out to shine for organizer Lion Harry & his offsider Lion Helen pictured above.

Harry is also organizing a feature piece to go in the local paper this coming month & is hoping to follow up with a few enquires about our club.

Who could resist our Lion Harry’s charm!

Pictured left to right Lions Sue McAllister, seated Helen Toy & Harry Major & Robina Mealy at the

North Townsville President Jeffrey Stark presents a

cheque for $2,357 for the Drought Relief Project to

Castle Hill President Phil Highland. North Townsville

Treasurer Danny De Buryn, Secretary Donna Bean

and Membership Coordinator Kim Gless look on.

The Club members raised the money by bucket

collections at the local shopping centre. This was a

wonderful effort from one of our newest Clubs.
