International President’s ProgramOne of the most basic facts of nature is that it is dynam-ic. The visual world continually undergoes change, bothfrom dynamic events in the world itself, such as themovement of trees in the wind, and from the visualchanges generated from our own activities, such aslocomotion. In other, more basic words, everythingneeds momentum, or movement, in order to progress,or grow. Move to grow. It’s a very basic concept, whichcan be applied to most everything. Nothing that remainsstatic grows.It is this basic concept – move to grow – that I have cho-sen as my theme for 2009-2010, with the ginkgotree and leaf as its symbol.Have you ever seen a ginkgo tree? The ginkgo has along history, with ancestors extending back some 280million years. It is one of very few plants living today thathas such a clear lineage dating back into the Paleozoicera. Fossil ginkgo leaves and petrified trunks can befound during the Tertiary period in North America,Europe, and Asia. It is very resilient, with an average lifespan of 1,000 years, and unique in that it has both amale and female variety in the same plant.So why the ginkgo tree? The ginkgo is a symbol of hopeand love, and a monument of peace and environmentalprotection and even considered a vision aid. The ginkgotree has in fact been declared the “millennium” tree.When taking into consideration its other characteristicsof esteemed heritage, longevity, adaptability, utility, sus-tainability, and global abundance, it’s easy to see a cor-relation between the ginkgo tree and Lions ClubsInternational.Compared to the origins and lifespan of the ginkgo,Lions Clubs International is still in its infancy. As a glob-al organization dedicated to promoting internationalunderstanding, we must symbolically plant a ginkgo atevery opportunity. The sapling has to be planted andnurtured world-wide in an appropriate manner with goodsoil, sunshine and water. Like a ginkgo tree, our pro-grams must be a sustainable resource that will stand thetest of time. Always mindful of our motto, “We Serve,” wemust continue to plant seeds of understanding andenduring community service, and cultivate a clear andconsistent message of purpose. This involves effort,momentum, action and NEED TO MOVE.I have learned a great deal through Lions and fromLions. I was entrusted to take on major challenges, andI am extremely thankful for that chance. Now the timehas come to give back.Eberhard J. WirfsLIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT

THE DISTRICT GOVERNOR’SOFFICIAL VISITATION

** Each President should make certain that theseprocedures are studied and followed for the 20-K2District Governor’s official visitation to your Club during the year.

1) Keep your Club’s calendar open for the dateestablished for the official visitation. Please do not letany Club business, program, or other activity interferewith this event.

2) Your Zone Chairman or other District Officer will becontacting you to verify the date and time of the visi-tation. A District Officer will assist you with the intro-duction of the District Governor.

3) You should personally act as greeter to the DistrictOfficers attending.

4) Have the head table arranged according to protocol.Don’t hesitate to check with one of the District Officers in advance to make sure it’s right.

5) It is customary that the meal of the Governor be paidfor by the Club during his or her official visitation and at any other function to which an invitation is issued during the year. It is optional that meals of other mem-bers of the Governor’s party be paid for.

6) If you would like the Governor to present specialawards or induct new members during the officialvisitation, please communicate that request prior tothe visitation. Also, if you are planning a spouses’night for the official visitation, notify the Governor well in advance of the event and clarify the mode of dress (e.g. formal, semi-formal, western, casual, etc.). The Governor will take the responsibility of notifying the other District officers planning to attend.

66

7) As President, you should open your meeting underyour own Club rules and customs. When it is time forthe official presentation of the Governor, it will beyour responsibility to introduce the lowest rankingDistrict Officer in attendance who will then followDistrict protocol procedures for the remaining intro-ductions.

8) Our District Governor is an official representativeof Lions Clubs International, and as such, he or sheshould be given a standing recognition as a matter ofcourtesy to the office the person represents.

9) Upon conclusion of the Governor’s remarks, you areto again assume control of the meeting and, asPresident, extend appropriate thanks and recognitionto members of the visiting party. You should close yourmeeting in its usual manner.

PROTOCOLA. Common Errors to Avoid

In opening a meeting we as civilians do not “Salute”the flag or have a Flag “Salute” - we “PledgeAllegiance” or have the “Pledge of Allegiance”.

When you are responsible for the Pledge ofAllegiance, it is better to invite everyone to repeat“with” you, rather than asking everyone to repeat“after” you or “follow” you in the pledge. Some one willdo actually that and repeat after you say it, ruining therespectful atmosphere.

We do not ask someone to “lead us” with the invoca-tion, it is better to ask he/she to “give” the invocation.Be mindful to recognize the current District Governorwith a place at the head table and a standing ovationas they are first formally introduced at a meeting(especially the formal, official visit to your Club by theDistrict Governor).

The following is the official protocol policy of TheInternational Association of Lions Clubs. The principalspeaker is the only one required to acknowledge alldignitaries present.

67

B. Order of Precedence

Lions shall be recognized in the following order:

1. International President2. Immediate Past International President3. International Vice Presidents (by rank)4. International Directors (a)5. Past International Presidents (b)6.

Multiple District Secretaries (staff) (a)30. Multiple District Treasurers (staff) (a)

Explanations:

(a) When more that one is present, they shall be rec-ognized according to the Roman alphabetic order ofthe first letter of their fully used family name. If the firstletter is the same, go to the second letter, and so on.If the last names are identical, then use the middlename. In the likely event that two names are identical,the one with the longest Association membership shallbe given precedence.

68

(b) When more than one is present, the one whoserved most recently is given precedence and so on.

(c) When more that one is present, precedence shouldbe the same for Past International Presidents (seeabove (b). In the event more than one PastInternational Director who served during the sameterm is present, then (a) should be used.

C. Non-Lion Dignitaries

Non-Lion dignitaries should be given precedence inaccordance with local protocol and/or custom, keepingin mind that if the non-Lion is the principal speaker,then he or she should be seated directly to the right ofthe chairman.

D. Head Table Seating

The presiding officer or meeting chairman must alwaysbe seated at the most central seat at the table whenthere is no central podium. Facing the audience theprincipal speaker should be seated to his or her right,then other Lion dignitaries in accordance with the gen-eral order of precedence. If possible, there should bethe same number of seats to the right and left of thechairman or presiding officer. If the podium is centeredon the head table, the meeting chairman or presidingofficer is always seated to the left of the podium (fac-ing the audience) and the principal speaker to theright. When spouses are present, they should be seat-ed to the member’s left when on the left side of thetable, and on the right when on the right side of thetable.

E. Master of Ceremonies and Meeting Secretaries

At some events, the Master of Ceremonies (emcee)will be someone other than the chairman or presidingofficer. In such cases, he or she should be seated inaccordance with local customs, or at one end of thehead table. If, however, his or her place in the gener-al order of precedence dictates a specific seat, (e.g.,he or she is a Past International President at a Districtfunction), then that should rule. On rare occasions,there will be a meeting secretary, again, local customsshould rule.

69

F. Head Table Introductions

Introduction of the head table should begin with themeeting chairman or presiding officer, then continuefrom the person with the lowest rank on the order ofprecedence to the person with the highest rank. Whenspouses are present at the head table, they should beintroduced with the member. (e.g., “Immediate PastInternational President Albert F. Brandel and his lovelywife Lion Dr. Maureen Murphy).

G. National Anthems

When official representatives of the InternationalBoard of Directors (whether or not currently serving onthe Board) from another country are present at anevent where national anthems are normally played,they should be extended the privilege of having theiranthem played.

LIONS HISTORY – The ShortStory

Beginning in 1917

In 1917, a Chicago business leader asked a sim-ple and world-changing question – what if peo-ple put their talents to work improving their com-munities? Almost 100 years later, Lions ClubsInternational is the world’s largest service cluborganization, with 1.3 million members andcountless stories of Lions acting on the samesimple idea: let’s improve our communities.That business leader was Melvin Jones. He con-vened an organizational meeting of clubs thatformed Lions Clubs International on June 7,1917, in Chicago. Later that year, Lions held thefirst national convention in Dallas and created aconstitution, by-laws, objects and a codeof ethics.1920: Going InternationalJust three years later, Lions went internationalwhen we established the first club in Canada.Mexico followed in 1927. In the 1950s and 1960sinternational growth accelerated, with new clubsin Europe, Asia and Africa.1925: Helen Keller and the “Crusade AgainstDarkness” One of our earliest and most influential causeshas been eradicating blindness. That began in1925, when Helen Keller addressed the LionsClubs International Convention in Cedar Point,Ohio, USA. She challenged us to become“knights of the blind in the crusade against dark-ness.” Since then, we have worked tirelessly tofulfill her charge to aid the blind and visuallyimpaired.1945: Uniting NationsThe ideal of an international organization isexemplified by our enduring relationship with theUnited Nations. We were one of the first non-governmental organizations invited to assist inthe drafting of the United Nations Charter andhave supported the work of the UN ever since.

72

1957: Establishing Youth ProgramsIn the late 1950s, we created the Leo Program toprovide the youth of the world an opportunity forpersonal development and contribution. Thereare now more than 5,500 Leo clubs in more than130 countries, with more than 140,000 Leosworldwide.1990: SightFirstIn 1990, we launched our most aggressive sightpreservation effort, SightFirst. This US$215 million program aims to rid the world of prevent-able and reversible blindness by supporting des-perately needed health care services. In 2008,Lions completed Campaign SightFirst II, whichraised more than US$200 million to expandthe program.Today: Local and Global ServiceLions Clubs International grows stronger andextends our mission of service every day – inlocal communities, in all corners of the globe. In2002, we were the first international service clubto be granted permission to organize and operateclubs in mainland China. And in 2007, a Lionsclub was formed in Iraq. These clubs join aninternational network that has grown to include45,000 clubs located in more than 200 countriesacross the globe.

73

But what about us? Our District?As New York was being organized, it was neces-sary to divide the state into districts because of itssize. Lions Clubs International has given NewYork the designation of Multiple District 20, whichis made up of smaller subdivisions. Over theyears the number of subdivisions has changedand grown. Before we were known as District20-K2, we were part of District 20-K, which wasgoverned by an International Councilor, the pred-ecessor of what we now call, District Governor.The International Councilor or District Governoris an International representative, elected by themembers of our District at our Multiple DistrictConvention, and now we have Vice DistrictGovernors, who work with the District Governorto assist in the administration of the District.District K covered the geographic boundaries ofthe counties of Kings, Queens, and Nassau, priorto its division in 1961. At that time there were 77clubs with 3,393 members. Because of its size,both geographically and clubs it was decide tosplit District K into two districts to be known asDistrict 20-K1 and District 20-K2. We are all apart of District 20-K2, which comprises all ofNassau County. In 1994, the Lions of Bermudaelected to transfer from District 20-R2 to District20-K2, making our new geographic boundary,Nassau County and Bermuda.We have the distinct honor of saying that we arethe home district of Immediate Past InternationalPresident, Al Brandel and Lion Dr. MaureenMurphy. IPIP Al served as international presi-dent, 2008-2009.Over the course of the years since 1961 therehave been many projects and events that haveshaped our District. Lions Park. Does anyoneknow that we have a park? It is located on thecorner of Old Country Road and Roslyn Road,Mineola, New York. There are several monu-ments erected there. During the spring it is plant-ed and maintained for all to enjoy. We have aLions Diabetes Education Center affiliated with

74

Long Beach Medical Center. It is designed toeducate newly diagnosed patients on the man-agement and care of their disease. Along withthat there is a Summer Camp for children newlydiagnosed with Diabetes to teach them that theycan manage their disease in the everyday world,while they enjoy their childhood. There is theLions Eye Bank for Long Island at North ShoreUniversity Hospital, where we work to harvestcorneas for transplant. We have an army of vol-unteers who travel to get those corneas to wherethey are needed. And in the future the vision ofa “Lions Low Vision Center”.

Lions Code of EthicsIndividual members of Lions Clubs are guided bya Code of Ethics, which, with only minor changeshas stood the test of time since its adoption bythe International Convention of 1918.

To show my faith in the worthiness of my voca-tion by industrious application to the end that Imay merit a reputation for quality of service.

To seek success and to demand all fair remu-neration or profit as my just due, but to accept noprofit or success at the price of my own self-respect lost because of unfair advantage taken orbecause of questionable acts on my part.

To remember that in building up my businessit is not necessary to tear down another’s;because of unfair advantage taken or because ofquestionable acts on my to be loyal to my clientsor customers and true to myselfWhenever a doubt arises to the right or ethics ofmy position or action towards my fellow man, toresolve such doubt against myself.

To hold friendship as an end and not a means.To hold that true friendship exists not on accountof the service performed by one to another, butthat true friendship demands nothing but acceptsservice in the spirit in which it is given.

Always to bear in mind my obligations as a cit-izen to my nation, my state and my community,and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word,act and deed. To give them freely of my time,labor and means.

To aid my fellow men by giving my sympathyto those in distress, my aid to the weak, and mysubstance to the needy.

To be careful with my criticism and liberal withmy praise; to build up and not destroy.

76

KEEPING MEMBERS IN YOUR CLUBIf your club is losing members, there are logical rea-sons. Part of the entire problem is that you will neverknow for sure what all the reasons are. That meansthat you should have an overall, ongoing strategy thatis always working for your club in preventing member-ship drops no matter what the particular problem is.Here are some proven guidelines for you to considerimplementing:

Preventing your members from ever thinking thattheir evening was wasted by making themeeting interesting to as many members aspossible.

Insist that your club funds are put to work. Lionswho raise money and pay dues want to seeresults for their efforts.

Publicize your projects and contributions to peo-ple in need. Every Lion needs to feel pride notonly in his or her own accomplishments but inhis or her club’s as well. He or she will feelthis pride much more if he or she knows thecommunity knows what has been done.

Determine today that you’re going to put all ofyour club members to work. Look for that“quiet” Lion who has been waiting for a longtime to do something meaningful for the club.

Make your new member induction ceremonies fullof zeal and spirit of Lionism. Let there be nodoubt that this event is a very important stepin this lions life. Ask your older, dedicatedmembers to participate in making this a mem-orable event.

Don’t allow the sponsors of your Club’s new mem-bers to “drop out” of their responsibilities.Make sure they continue to look after thewell-being of the man or woman they spon-sored. This is especially important during thenew member’s first two years. Rememberone of the main reasons the new memberjoined was the relationship with his or hersponsor.

Finally, remember that Lions most frequently“drop out” because they are underworkedand not involved. Their talents and potentialcontributions to the club have been sadlyunrecognized by the Club leadership.
