Greetings from District Governor Sharon

January 2017 — Go Out Listen & Deliver Gold Lions Service

Welcome to 2017. I trust you all had a wonderful Christ-

mas and New Year. The second half of our Lions year

commences and this is a very important part of our year.

WE TURN 100! I trust you all have your celebrating plan-

ning well under way.

Lions District Q1 has planned a special day on March 4th.

It is a Lions Awareness Day and they have invited all

other Districts to join with them, for more information go

to their website.

Also remember we have our Multiple District convention

in Hobart in May this year. This is promising to be a won-

derful convention in a unique part of our great country.

Details are available on the Lions Australia website.

Please give some serious thought to making the trip and

experiencing the fun, fellowship and great learning oppor-

tunities.

I would ask that ALL Membership Chairpersons get onto

the LCI site and have a look in the members section at

'Invite for Impact'. You will need to register with the Li-

ons Learning Centre but it will be really worth the effort.

This is a wonderful program, while in the Lions Learning

Centre you may want to avail yourself of some of the

other fabulous Lions Learning Centre training and ideas,

how do you register? That is easy, you type in your mem-

bership number ( if you don't know this ask your Club

Secretary) and a password and you are in!

The Faculty Development Institute will be happening in

New Zealand next month. There was a lot of applicants

but limited spaces (13 for Australia). Priority was given to

Lions from Districts who are in trouble with membership,

for those Lions from N2 who did apply; they have been

placed on the reserve list as we are not a District in trou-

ble.

February is nomination month, please ensure you all read

your Constitution on how nominations and elections

SHOULD be held. This will ensure your club is acting

within the rules of our association, just because a club has

done their nominations and elections the same way for

years does not necessarily make it constitutional. In this

instance ' home rules' DO NOT apply.

If you have any questions once having read the Constitution

please contact our District Constitution and Bylaws Chair PDG

Carl von Stein who will be more than happy to provide the neces-

sary information to ensure your Club's election process is correct

and constitutional.

Has your club thought about establishing a Club Branch? You

may have a special interest group near you, such as a Quilters

Group, Craft Group or a new housing subdivision near you and

who may be interested in forming a Club Branch, you only need

5 people! If you would like more information or you would like a

workshop to explore this idea please contact PDG Ron Skeen or

your Area Coordinator for further information.

Let's start this second half of our Lions year with inducting 100

new Lions to help us celebrate our 100 years.

Yours in Lionism

DG Sharon

Lioness Report

Hi everyone.

Welcome to 2017. I

hope everyone had a

wonderful Christmas,

spending lots of time

with their families.

I have just returned

from my trip to USA with my daughter and

granddaughter. We had a lovely white

Christmas in Stowe which is in Vermont

Unfortunately holidays don’t last forever and

it’s back to reality for me.

I would like to say a huge congratulations to

Lioness Heather Howe, who was presented

with a Melvin Jones Fellowship by Wollon-

gong Lions. A well-deserved award. It is a

testament to you for your hard work and the

many hours you spend working as a Lioness.

Wollongong Lioness have been working for

Red Cross, serving refreshments at the Blood

Bank, Telecross and knitting. They are also

fundraising at bbqs at Officeworks,

Liverpool Lioness held a successful Craft

Stall at Miller Shopping Centre. They are

also busy manning the Craft Stall at Liver-

pool Hospital. The Lioness are always busy

crocheting and knitting items for their stalls.

Shoalhaven Lioness work many hours for the

Salvation Army. As well as that the Lioness

catered for a Suicide Prevention meeting.

They helped Bomaderry Lions at Carols in

the Park and Christmas Party.

Camden Lioness held two Cake Stalls at

Bunnings. The also held a Family Fun Night

at McDonalds

Their Christmas raffle sold very well with

lot’s of great prizes donated by some gener-

ous people in the community. Camden is

combining with the Lions Clubs in their

Zone to raise $150.000 to purchase medical

equipment for Camden/Campbelltown Hos-

pital. This is a Lions Centenary Project.

Well done Eden Lioness for inducting 3 new

members. You have all been busy with your

many catering projects and working for An-

glicare, Meals on Wheels and St. Vincent’s.

Well done to you all and keep up the good

work.

Holidays are over and a new year is well under way. I trust all Lions had opportunities to enjoy time with family over the

Christmas/new Year period.

I have been busy over the last two months speaking with Lions to progressively fill positions in the 2017-18 Cabinet. I have

been gratified that most Lions have embraced the opportunity to serve our organisation in a range of capacities. But, I still have

more to do. If you have a strong interest in a particular area, please feel free to contact me and discuss your interest. In the event

that someone has accepted that role, you may still be able to work with them and assist or position yourself to take on the role

in the future. If you don’t tell me of your interest, I won’t know and probably won’t call.

Over 13-15 January, Mary and I spent three days back in classrooms learning more about our roles for the coming year. It was a

great opportunity to meet the Lions and partners who will be representing the other 18 districts across Australia.

One of the highlights was a visit on Friday to the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney. The District Governors

(Elect) spent the morning in ‘class’ before our partners joined us – they had been being educated back at the hotel. After lunch

we were given a guided tour of the Genomics and Epigenetics Division and the Kinghorne Cancer Centre – in part it was

recognition of the recent contribution of the Australian Lions Children’s Cancer Research Foundation (ALCCRF) and the Lions

Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) towards the institute’s costs in gathering and analysing the genomes of children with

cancer. The medical, computing and biology professionals involved provided us with a wonderful insight to the work they do.

The analysis of the genome of both the patient and the specific cancer is used to identify where the patient’s genome is being

damaged and if there is an optimal drug regimen that may be effective.

While not part of the ALCCRF funded projects, one outcome of genomic research to date has been to identify several types of

pancreatic cancer. Of all the types identified, one has been ‘matched’ to an existing anti-cancer drug approved for use in

treating a different cancer and is likely to have beneficial effects against the specific strain of pancreatic cancer.

Clearly, this work by Garvan, which aims to collect and analyse over 18,000 genome samples per year, has great potential to

improve the lives of many with a range of cancers.

In conjunction with Lion Dave Robson of Kiama, our District Global Leadership Team Coordinator for 2014-17, and other

members of the current and next District Cabinets we have started planning for training for 2017-18. The timetables for Club

Development Forums across the District will be released in the next newsletter.

1st Vice District Governor’s Report – January 2017

The wonder on 5 year old Amelia's face says it all as Sue

from the Cerebral Palsy Alliance adjusts her

new custom-made walking frame.

Five year old Amelia looked uncertain as she was lowered into a jumble of wheels,

springs, struts and screws designed to help her get around. Those bits and pieces

were among the thousand or so working parts in her new Hart Walker.

Amelia and her brother Sam who is almost three years have a rare condition similar

to cerebral palsy which limits their mobility. In December they visited the Cerebral

Palsy Alliance in Canberra to be fitted with orthotic walking frames which will help

them walk hands-free and play at eye level with their friends.

A physiotherapist and a consultant-technician supervised the initial fittings for the

children. Although Hart Walkers are made to measure they need adjusting to match

each child’s anatomy and regular maintenance sessions to replace worn parts and

cater for the growth spurts kids have.

Eight Canberra clubs combined to donate $16 000 for the two devices plus $2000

each year for ongoing costs. Club representatives were on hand to encourage

Amelia and Sam as they took their first steps and say the sister and brother did

remarkably well for their first time.

Lions have a long history of helping kids ‘get on their feet.’ So far the Australian Lions Children’s Mobility Foundation have

provided walkers for nearly 2000 children at a cost of over $12 million. Last year in N2 District parents and organisations like the

Cerebral Palsy Alliance logged eight requests with local Lions.


“The Future of Peace” is the theme for the Peace Poster

and LCI Essay Contests for the coming year. Over the next

month or two is the time to engage with schools if you are

interested in being involved in the program.

The Peace Poster Contest is a reasonably well known pro-

ject, but the LCI Essay Contests was only introduced six

years ago so that visually impaired children had a platform

to express themselves on the same theme as the Peace

Poster Contest. To date we have yet to have an entry for

this contest in Australia. It would be great if N2 could be

the first District to do so.

Either way these are two great initiatives by Lions. The

contest is possibly the first time a young person will come

in contact with our organisation, the first opportunity for us

to show the badge and create a lasting impression. It is also

a membership opportunity as we engage with schools and

the parents / grandparents of these young people. Please

consider these programs as a part of your clubs youth ac-

tivities.

PDG Ron Skeen OAM, District Chairperson

Peace Poster / LCI Essay Contest

In medium to larger clubs it is beneficial to have the recommended three member Membership Committee in place. In small

clubs this may not be as easy to put in place, but you must have a Membership Chair if you are serious about your clubs sur-

vival.

Your Membership Committee is responsible for monitoring the clubs membership, satisfaction and for membership recruit-

ment. To that end the committee should develop a plan for the Lions year and have that plan endorsed by the Board of Direc-

tors. It is always prudent to work with the current President and Club Executive when developing this plan.

There are recommended duties for each of the three members of the Membership Committee: -

The Chairman of the Membership Committee, who ideally should be in their third year with the committee, is a Club Board

Member and reports directly to the Board of Directors. They also oversee the other members of the committee while hav-

ing a firm eye on the membership plan.

The second member of the committee (vice chairman), who should be in their second year on the committee, has a focus on

retention and leadership. That is holding on to the membership the club has and developing members to become future

leaders of the club and perhaps beyond and in the case of new members to the club, orientation into the organisation. This

position can also undertake club welfare duties if this position is not allocated elsewhere.

The third and newest member to the membership committee focusses on membership development, i.e. the recruitment of new

members and ensuring they are actively involved in the club.

The make-up of the committee is flexible to suit your club.

In my article in the last District Newsletter I stressed the point, that you needed to have your club in good shape if you were to

attract, and more importantly hold on to members. I also mentioned that there are some excellent resources on our District,

Multiple District (National) and Lions Clubs International websites to help you in this regard.

Once you have your club up and running well there is equally as many if not more resources on these websites to help you seek

potential members regardless of which approach you wish to take. This is where the Membership Committee comes to the fore

and I will cover member recruitment in my next article.

Attention Club Treasurer,

It has recently come to my attention a number of Clubs are not using best practice when paying their International

dues. I am aware some Clubs have sent Australian cheques to the United States (which may breach Commonwealth

law), paid International dues with member’s private credit cards (involving poor exchange rates and additional fees)

or purchased an international draft (costing around $25 and a poor exchange rate).

The most efficient method of paying International dues is to forward to me a cheque in the Australian dollar amount

shown on your MyLCI statement, drawn on your Club’s Administration Account, made payable to Lions Clubs

International. LCI provides me as your Cabinet Treasurer an exchange rate far better than can be obtained from any

financial institution or card company and there are no hidden fees.

Should you wish to use the most efficient method of payment, my address is:

Willow Bank

432 Yass River Road

MANTON, NSW 2582

Should you have any queries, please send me an email or call me on my mobile 0411414678.

Yours in Lions,

“AUSTRALIAN LIONS FOUNDATION (ALF)

HELPING LIONS, HELP THEIR COMMUNITIES”







In October of 2016, our Club received a letter, forwarded by TAD Disability Services, from a mother of an autistic child

regarding assistance with the purchase of a ‘Freedom Wheels Bike’.

TAD’s Freedom Wheels Bikes are designed to meet the individual needs of the client and enables children with disabilities

to ride a bike when it was never thought possible. The children are assessed so they receive a bike specifically suited to

their age, physical and cognitive abilities.

After discussion with members, it was decided that our club would pay the total cost for the bike for her son Alex. The

process was initiated through the assistance of Alison Bray, a TAD Development Manager, and arrangements were made

to outfit the bike to Alex’s needs.

Once the bike was ready, we arranged to meet Alison and

Alex and his family and present the bike during our next

dinner meeting at Cabra Vale RSL. This took place on the

12 December and to say that the family were appreciative

and that Alex was excited is an understatement. He was able

to climb on and pedal around on the specially built bike

despite him never being able to ride a bike before.

This bike will provide a certain level of independence to Alex, as well as allow him to be included on bike rides with his

brother. Also since receiving his bike Alex’s confidence has increased by showing him there are things he can do himself.

Watching him cycle around the room demonstrated how our club can impact positively on the local community, giving the

members as much pleasure as they appear to have given Alex. It is what drives our members to continue to work toward

helping those in need.

advertisements for positions or opportunities in Lionism

Explanation

At the start of the current Lion’s DG Sharon Bishop changed the structure of the District Cabinet to create the role of Area

Coordinator’s across six separate areas. While they have other duties, the Coordinators have key roles working with the District

GMT and GLT Coordinators on membership, leadership and training issues.

Though some may be involved in ad hoc and other training in the areas they service, it is intended that any future training presented

will be by skilled and experienced Lions or Lioness who have suitable adult education backgrounds. In other words, the District is

moving towards having trainers with recognised training skills and backgrounds rather than just using senior Lions who hold

particular roles on future Cabinets.

It is proposed to appoint as many qualified trainers as is reasonable (generally around 3 or 4) to each Area. The existing

Executive roles will generally assist in developing the training curriculum with the District GLT Coordinator to ensure

District requirements are maintained. It is also envisaged that the appointed trainers will work in their local Area’s but

should circumstances dictate otherwise, they may be asked to work outside their own localities.

At this time it is also intended to use this methodology for training in future years.

Key Accountabilities

The appointees should be able to meet the following criteria:

Have adult education qualifications and experience such as “Train the Trainer” skills

Preferably have Lions training skills and background

Have held at least one of the following positions at club level – President, Secretary, Treasurer or Membership Chairperson

Willing to form part of an Area Training Team under the management of the Districts GLT Coordinator

Commit to attending a “Train the Trainer” day at a date and venue to be advised

Be available from March to May 2017 to participate in what are currently known as “Incoming Officers Forums”

Closing Date:

Applications should be submitted by no later than 31st January 2017 to Cabinet Secretary Lion John Flarrety at 120 Green Valley

Road Goulburn NSW 2580 or [email protected] Any intending applicant should identify any background, qualifications or

experience when addressing the key accountabilities and or position description in any application submitted.
