A Message from our District Governor

NOVEMBER IS NATIONAL DIABETES MONTH

It’s November and the holiday season is upon us.

We all have so many things to be thankful for – our

health; our families; this great country that we live

in. The fact that we are a part of the greatest ser-

vice and humanitarian organization in the world

speaks for itself. Now is the time to be working

with your community bread baskets, food pantries,

churches and other organizations to help the less

fortunate in our local areas. Be thankful that you

have a warm home, comfortable bed, hearty meals

– there are a lot of people who do not.

I would like to say something about the tragedy that

unfolded in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill this past week-

end. My family lives in the northern panhandle of

WV, about 40 miles from the site of the shooting.

We have visited Squirrel Hill several times for dinner

and festivals that take place there. The people

there are kind, friendly and very special. This

should never have happened. Please keep the vic-

tims and their families in your prayers. Please,

please, please be kind and understanding of one

another.

Happy Thanksgiving and May God Bless!!

DG Gary and PDG Bernice

A Message from 1st VDG

Lion Bill

I have been very busy the

last few days. Too busy, in

fact, to get done some of

the things I’m supposed to

do as your vice governor.

But, who isn’t? We’re all busy! Many of us still

work, while those of us who are retired usually

look for things to do. I hate to fish and I can’t hit

a golf ball straight, so I took on a retirement job,

because I thought I needed something to do!

Kathy and I like to travel to see the kids and the

grandkids. We are very involved in our church,

as are many Lions. Then, too, are the unim-

portant things like mowing the lawn, doing laun-

dry, fixing cars, and running the vacuum.

So, I wondered. How much are Lions giving in

service to their communities. I looked it up. So

far for this year Lions in District 29-L have de-

voted 4,984 hours to service. That figure is for

just three months with only 30 of 54 clubs re-

porting. How great is that? As DG Gary puts it,

“Service is Key!” The Lions of District 29-L live

up to that.

Following are some figures from last year: Lion

hours, 17,909; dollars donated, $355,684; peo-

ple served, 143,656. Obviously, none of us think

that we are too busy to offer our services to oth-

ers. That is why Lions is not only the largest

service organization in the world, it is the best.

A Message from District Leadership Chair

PDG Bernice

This month I would like to share

some food for thought from various

business leaders across the country.

Think about how these comments

might apply to your leadership roles

within your Lions organization.

Leaders should instill confidence in

their teams - helps team members to embrace uncertainty and

look at setbacks as an opportunity to adjust and try again.

It’s important to create an environment where your team can

run with ideas and respectfully debate them.

The best leaders stoke a fiery passion behind team members’

ideas and convictions.

There is a difference between being a player, a player-coach and

being a coach.

The most effective leaders are those who can own up to their

mistakes.

You, as a current leader, and those in the District thinking about

taking on a leadership role, should take every opportunity availa-

ble to learn and network when they are offered.

The West Virginia Lions Leadership Retreat is coming up at the

end of January 2019 in Flatwoods. Those who are developing

this year’s retreat have adjusted the amount of time for the

retreat and the cost of the retreat to make things easier for

those who would like to take the opportunity to attend.

All Districts will be offering First Timer Scholarships – so be on

the lookout for those applications in District newsletters.

Our District is always looking for Lions to move forward in the

organization. These learning opportunities can be a powerful

tool, not just in Lionism, but in your work life as well.

LCIF recently offered a Lion Leader Checklist. You may have seen it. It offers some excellent suggestions for Leaders at the District and

Club level to promote and participate in Campaign 100. If you haven’t already seen it, here it is again.

Lion Leader Checklist. Is Yours Complete?

• Encourage participation, which is essential! Educate friends, family and business associates about Campaign 100 and about how

Lions are changing the world through service and our eight global causes. Note: visit lionsclubs.org to get more information.

• Give! The easiest way to raise funds is to first give yourself and then ask others to join you in supporting Campaign 100. Contrib-

ute today (and often!) at lcif.org/donate and share this link!

• Visit our campaign website lcif.org/BE100 to check out the available resources. More materials designed to make your leadership easier and more impactful are added regularly!

• Encourage your club to become a Model Club. Be sure you’re offering concrete steps to help members reach Model Club success. And don’t forget to mention the benefits and recognition

that come with Model Club status! [The Model Club commitment form with details is at http://www.lionsclubs.org/resources/EN/pdfs/lcif/LCIF_C003.pdf]

• Share your Lion story. The best way to encourage others to be involved – to #BE100 – is to share your passion through moving stories of serving our world citizens in need. We’re eager to

hear from you at campaign100@lionsclubs.org!

SAYRE GRAHAM MEMORIAL DEDICATED – A memorial to the civic minded and longtime Chester resident, Sayre Graham was dedicated on Saturday, September 29. The memorial was a joint project between the Bob Milby VFW Post 6450 and the Chester Lions Club. The memorial is located at Virginia Gardens Memorial Park at the corner of 6

th

Street and Carolina Avenue in Chester, alongside the gazebo that Sayre helped construct in the early 1980’s.

Lions Club President Bob Milner provided remarks regarding Sayre and his service to the community. He also thanked the VFW for funding the project and members of the Lions Club for pulling the project together. Sayre’s son expressed his appreciation for the memorial and shared some memories of his father.

A proud veteran of the U.S. Army, Sayre served in the European Theater during WW II and received three Bronze Stars. He was an active member of the Chester American Legion Post 121 and VFW Post 6450.

Sayre was a longtime devoted member and a past president of the Chester Lions Club. He was also a distinguished past District Governor of district 29-L of the West Virginia Lions and served in several offices at the district level as well.

He was a master carpenter for the Finley Brothers Construction Company in Chester, whose work left an imprint all over the area, including the former Waterford Park Race Track. Sayre’s proudest professional moment came when he completed construction of the VFW in Chester while operating his own construction company. Later in life he worked for the Potters Construction Company in East Liverpool.

He was a graduate of the Chester High School class of 1939 and served as class president.

Special guests at the ceremony included his daughter, Diane Sterbutzel of Vienna, VA.; his son, Sayre Graham of East Liverpool; VFW Post 6450 Quartermaster, Joe Capito; Chester Mayor, Rex Cowey; Chester councilmen, John Wood-ruff, and Steve Shuman; several Lions Club members; and other friends and residents of Chester.

Pictured are (l-r) Lions Club President Bob Milner, Councilman John Woodruff, Sayre’s son Sayre Graham, Council-

man Steve Shuman, Lion Dave Shilling, Lion Bud Miller, Joe Capito (VFW Post 6450 Quartermaster), Mayor Rex

Cowey, and Sayre’s daughter Diane Sterbutzel. Also attached is a picture of the plaque and a picture of Sayre along-

side the gazebo shortly after it was constructed in the early 1980’s

The Morgantown club has new meeting times. Change to. Second and forth Tuesday @5:30. At Eat and park on Patterson drive. Morgantown. Also the club is selling poppies to support veterans. We are trying to restart an old tradition of displaying poppies on Veterans day. If you see a poppy display. Support a veteran, buy a poppy and wear it proudly.

Helen Keller said, “The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the

heart.” The students at the West Virginia Schools for the Blind and Deaf have touched my heart and I am sure they will

touch yours, too.

West Virginia Lions support the students through various outreach programs throughout the year. Several activities are

planned and I invite you to join them.

On November 6th, the Deaf and Blind Recreation Program participants and students will go bowling then be treated to

pizza, drinks and ice cream. There will be 60+ students attending along with 10/12 chaperones. The students enjoy

bowling and it is a fun time for all.

In December, students will have an outing to McDonald’s, which is located across the street from the school. This tasty

and fun activity also provides teachable moments in how to order food at a fast food restaurant and spending within a

budget for the older students.

February 19th and 20th is the ski trip at Timberlake Resort in Canaan Valley.

How can your club help? There are numerous ways. First by participating in one of these events. Second by donating to

this cause. During this giving season, my club has always sponsored a child through a local non-profit organization. This

year I am asking my club and yours to sponsor a child at the WV Schools for Blind and Deaf so programs like the ones

above can continue and new ones added. Another way you can help, provide a new ideas for activities for students.

If you would like to know more I am more than happy to share with you or answer any questions. Feel free to contact me

at ksyphers@comcast.net.

CHESTER LIONS DONATE TO ALLISON ELEMENTARY SENSORY ROOM – The Chester Lions Club was very happy to recently make a $1500 donation to Allison Elementary School to be used towards equipment

and appurtenances for the school’s Sensory Room. Lion Jodie Juszczak suggested the idea a while back, when President Bob Milner asked for ideas on how the club could help the community.

Following Jodie’s suggestion, Lion Marshall Hobbs and his wife, Rosemary, coordinated with the school and arranged for a brief presentation at the club’s meeting on September 27 by Allison’s Assistant

Principal Jennifier Marchese and Special Education Teacher Ashley Turley. During the presentation Jennifer and Ashley talked about the needs of children with learning disabilities and explained how the

needs vary between the children. For example, one child may respond to lights and noise, while another prefers quiet. They also discussed and demonstrated some of the items they currently use. In re-

sponse to a question they talked about some of the items that they could use to improve the learning experience for the children. The sensory room at Allison also doubles as an occupation therapy room.

Following the presentation the club voted to make the $1500 donation. The Lions Club is also a Platinum Sponsor for the school’s Positive Behavior Program.

Pictured (L-R) is Lions Club President Bob Milner, with Special Education Teacher Ashley Turley, and Assistant Principal Jennifer Marchese.

The Barboursville Lions Club has a history of presenting grave markers to spouses of deceased Lions club members. A marker for former Lions Orman Hall was present to his wife, Cheryl Hall at our October 23 meeting. She was accompanied by her two children, Kelly Carter and Kevin Hall.

The Barboursville Lions Club participated in the Peace Poster Contest. Lion member Angela Webb, art teacher at

Barboursville Middle School, submitted 15 posters to be judged by the Barboursville Lions Club members. At the

club's October 23 meeting club members voted on their favorite poster. Shown in the foreground is Lion Martha

Ferguson getting ready to vote on her favorite poster.

Nikki Mattingly– Club Sponsor Clay Battelle Leos

The Leos in Western Monongalia County stages a “Pink Out” for cancer awareness each year. Students raise money by

hosting raffles and walking laps around the school track at Clay Battelle High School.

Every year Leos pick a person from the community who was diagnosed with the disease, and every year, a portion of the

proceeds it raises for cancer research goes to that person’s medical expenses.

The club’s sponsor, Nikki Mattingly wanted to show the kids the importance of paying it forward, being kind to others and

how cancer puts a shadow on every family.

Creating Global Citizens Across Cultures and Around the World

The Youth Camp and Exchange Program (YCE) brings the ideal of global citizenship to life. Each year this program gives thousands of young people the opportunity to experience life in other cultures and gain new understanding of the world through travel abroad. Unlike some youth exchange pro-grams, YCE does not involve academic study or employment. Instead, participants are encouraged to use this travel opportunity to represent their home countries and share their own culture while learning about and embracing a new one, forging the way to becoming young ambassadors for peace and international understanding.

YCE is composed of various Lions Youth Exchanges and/or Lions Youth Camps arranged by Lions clubs around the world.

A Lions Youth Exchange, or “host family stay,” can be arranged independent of a Lions youth camp in hundreds of countries where there are Lions clubs and typically lasts between four and six weeks.

Become A Host Family

Is Hosting Right for Me?

Are you interested in learning about other cultures and ways of life while sharing your own customs and experiences? Are open-mindedness, toler-ance and cultural competence of high importance to you? Do you have a desire to contribute towards peace, international understanding, and the creation of young global citizens? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may enjoy being a host family for the Youth Camp and Exchange Program (YCE)! You may contact the West Virginia Multiple District Youth Camp & Exchange Chairperson: Lion Henry Krautwurst at Hen-ryK248@gmail.com

Benefits of Hosting

Hosting a young person from another country is a fulfilling experience and has many benefits:

You experience the joy of sharing your culture and daily customs You learn about your visitor's customs and culture You open a new world of possibilities and thinking to a young person You make a new friend - maybe a friend for life What to Expect

Youth participants are usually between the ages of 16 and 21, and come from any of the more than 200 countries and geographic locations where there are Lions clubs. He/she will have completed an admissions process before being accepted to participate in the program. He/she may or may not know the language of your country but will have a desire to learn. Host families should include the participant in their daily routine, including family meals, as YCE is intended to be an immersive learning experience. Local excursions are not required of host families, but the host Lions club often arranges for participants to visit local points of interest and engage in social activities, like picnics and get-togethers.

Host Family Eligibility

The host Lions club must approve all host families. To be eligible to become a host family you must:

Have regular contact with youth of the approximate age of the participant Be familiar with Lions clubs and the goals of YCE Be able to provide a bed and meals for your guest Follow all local laws related to youth protection
