Serving the Community since 1985

Presidents Report We had the pleasure of two Lions at our meeting. No, not the four legged variety, but our counterparts in community work. Deb Lillie was accompanied by Graham Head, both from Beaumaris Lions, and Deb gave us an update on the projects and activi-ties they are undertaking. I think this is the first oc-casion we have had Lions speak at our Rotary meeting, and should not be the last. Hearing the issues they face, by working together we could find some new unexplored synergies.

James is still short of volunteers for the Masters Golf parking on the Saturday. If you can help out please let him know. We have our District Governor, Tony Monley visit-ing us on November 6th and the night will have a Spring Carnival theme, so please come along and support this meeting. Our cluster Primary School Speaking contest is progressing along and the final is planned for No-vember 13th. As it clashes with our normal night I will be asking a few Beaumaris members to repre-sent us at the contest. Due to cancellation of the progressive dinner, there is no formal meeting this coming week, however

In 1917, Melvin Jones, a 38-year-old Chicago business leader, told members of his local business club they should reach beyond business issues and address the betterment of their communities and the world. Jones' group, the Business Cir-

cle of Chicago, agreed.

After contacting similar groups around the Unit-ed States, an organizational meeting was held on June 7, 1917, in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The new group took the name of one of the invited groups, the "Association of Lions Clubs," and a national convention was held in Dallas, Texas, USA in October of that year. A constitution, by-laws, objects and a code of ethics were ap-proved.

Within three years, Lions became an interna-

tional organization. Since then, we've earned

high marks for both integrity and transparency.

We're a well-run organization with a steady vi-

sion, a clear mission, and a long – and proud –

history.

Vision Statement

To be the global leader in community and hu-manitarian service.

Mission Statement

To empower volunteers to serve their commu-nities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.

Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization. We have 1.35 million members in more than 46,000 clubs worldwide.

Lions are everywhere. We're men and women who are active in community projects inover 200 countries and geographic areas.

Lions have a dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness – it's part of our history as well as our work to-day. But we also perform volunteer work for many different kinds of community projects – including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.

Lions are active. Our motto is "We Serve." Li-ons are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local com-munities.

Lions give sight. By conducting vision screen-ings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distrib-uting medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local community projects and through our international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness.

Lions serve youth. Our community projects of-ten support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Inter-nationally, we offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest. And our Leo Pro-gram provides personal development through youth volunteer opportunities.

There are approximately 144,000 Leos and

5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries

Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions

Clubs International Foundation has awarded

more than US$700 million in grants to support

Lions humanitarian community projects around

the world. Together, our Foundation and Lions

are helping communities following natural dis-

asters by providing for immediate needs such

as food, water, clothing and medical supplies –

and aiding in long-term reconstruction.

Licola Township and Camp Lhe township of Licola is owned entirely by the Lions Clubs of Victoria and southern New South Wales. It is the only privately owned town in Victoria and the only one not on mains power. Licola is a small and attractive village beside the Macalister River, 254 kilometres east of Melbourne. They cater for school groups, outdoors recrea-tion groups, church groups, sporting groups, individuals, couples and the general pub-lic. They are open 7 days a week. The town generates its own power, pumps and treats its own water and is responsible for its waste management. The greater part of the town is occupied by the Licola Wilderness Village, where Lions Clubs have for 40 years run camps for disadvantaged children and special needs groups, mostly held during the school holidays.
