District Governors Message

Greetings District Lions: Well, our District Convention is history, the final Cabinet meeting of the year is just around the corner, but wait, we still have two months remaining is this Lions year as we approach the 100th anniversary celebration of Lionism. Can we pick up 15 new members and have no losses? Probably not so let’s pick up 25 new members and hold our losses to 10. That would be a fantastic membership year for our District. With two months remaining I know our clubs can do it. Lion Susan Edwards, the Convention Chair and I want to thank all who attended and had a hand in making this year’s convention a great one. We had a full day agenda and it was great to see everyone attending the seminars, viewing the displays, buying tickets for the fantastic baskets and helping to pack 536 personal hy-giene bags in a record time. All have been delivered with appreciation from the recipient homes. The Roar-ing Spring club with the help of Lion Marti Reffner provided a great lunch and the banquet meal was also excellent. Our guests, ID Bob Libin and Lions Linda McLane of Leader Dog topped off the day. Thanks again to all that made this an educational and fun day. Congratulations to the recipients of the International President’s Certificates of Appreciation, the Melvin Jones Fellows, the Lions of Pa Fellows, LeGrand Perce Service Award and the Carl Shoemaker Fellows. Well-deserved and earned. Throughout my year and visit with the clubs I spoke of my theme, Honoring Veterans and challenged each club to do something for a veteran. I also asked that the club send me a picture of the event and a brief par-agraph of what was done. Please gather these up and send off to me as soon as possible. E-mail is fine or by US Mail. I appreciate all that you have done for Veterans this year, but don’t stop now. Keep on serving and Honoring Veteran’s. Thank you for your efforts in this area. Club elections should be finished up by now. Don’t forget to report the results and next year’s officers on line. Training for the new club officers will be announced soon. Encourage you club leaders to attend and learn more about leading your club. Thanks to those officers that have stepped up to lead. You will enjoy your year and I know that all will do well.

I hope to see many of our District Lions at the State Convention is Seven Springs. If you havn’t signed up yet do it soon as time is running out. Until next month, keep serving, keep busy and stay healthy. My contact information is: DG Larry Edwards, 1639 Timberline Drive, Altoona PA 16601, HP 814 943-6310, CP 814 932-8279, cousin10@aol.com. Yours in Lionism, District Governor Larry

1st Vice District Governor

James T. Foreso

Did you make it to the MD14L convention this year on April 8th? If not, you missed a great time! We had

informative sessions on multiple subject and a service project that everyone was able to help with. In addi-

tion, we held our annual elections and I was officially elected to be your next District Governor. I want to

thank all of you for the trust you have put in me by offering me this position. The evening was capped off

with an excellent dinner, awards and a special tribute to our guest of honor, Taylor Michelone, who served

in the US Navy with great dignity and honor.

With only 2 months until the International Convention in Chicago that will kick off our new year and

my installation as District Governor, there is still much we would like to accomplish. We are finishing the

District Directory and trying to fill out the cabinet. If you have not submitted your ad request for the direc-

tory and would like to do so, please get in touch with me and we can see if there is still time and space

available. We are still in need of 2 Zone Chairmen to serve for the upcoming year, one in Huntington,

where Sandi Dysard has been serving. This Zone covers Huntington, Juniata Valley, Stone Creek Valley,

Woodcock Valley and Wood Cock Valley Lioness. We also are still trying to find a zone chair for Zone 5A,

which covers Blairs Mills, Fort Shirley, Orbisonia and Shade Gap. If you are in any of these clubs, please

consider serving in this important role. Larry or I would be happy to sit down with anyone and go over the

position.

We have selected a date for the annual banner exchange ceremony and dinner. The event will be

held on July 9, 2017 in Williamsburg. More details will be forthcoming.

As always thank you for your prayers and thoughts not just for myself but for all of our leaders.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can help with.

Very Sincerely Yours in Service,

James T. Foreso

Dear Pennsylvania Lions, Your 2017 Pennsylvania Lions Convention Host Committee sends its wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year. It is time to make your reservations for this year’s convention to be held at Seven Springs Mountain Resort near Donegal, Pennsylvania. We have a wonderful conven tion planned for you. In

addition to our regular GMT/GLT training sessions, our International President Chancellor Bob Corlew and his Partner in Service, Lion Dianne, will be our guests for the weekend. Each of them will present a seminar on Saturday Morning, and President Corlew will deliver the keynote address at Saturday’s International Banquet. The focus of the convention is the 4 service areas of Lionism: Youth, Environment, Feeding the hungry, and Vision. Consequently, we

will be collecting used eyeglasses, hearing aids, and non-perishable food items for the benefit of the Westmoreland County Food Bank. Likewise, President Corlew will plant a tree, and everyone who attends the International Banquet will receive a special environmental gift. As we celebrate 100 years of Lions Clubs International, our seminar and meal speakers: Kevin Hartigan from the Perkins School in Boston, Lion Jackie Christensen of Ohio Lions District 13-F will portray Helen Keller, and Lion Kenneth Hammontree, also of Ohio, will depict our founder Melvin Jones, thus representing the history of Lionism.

Tours are available on Thursday, May 18 to various attractions in the area, including Fight 93 memorial. For Thursday evening, a dinner theater is avail-able. “The Miracle Worker,” presented by the Geyer Theater for the Performing Arts, buffet dinner and transportation, is $35. The number of tickets is limited to the first 200 reservations, so get your reservations in early. Speaking of reservations, the forms have been mailed but are also available on the

PA Lions Website, www.palions.org and will soon be available in the PA Lions Pride Magazine. Beginning this year, there is a 3-tiered reservation fee. Early bird, until January 30 is $10, and will be honored at the February Council Meeting for those who register in person. The regular registration fee of $12.50 goes until April 15, and a late registration fee of $15 will be applied to registrations postmarked after April 15 through onsite registration.

As usual, the convention officially begins Friday evening with the Annual Necrology Service to honor our departed Lions for the2016 calendar year, (January 1 through December 31, 2016). We are requesting each club who has lost a Lion, Lioness, or Leo during this past year to send a picture, a short bio of their Lions service, and their dates of Lion membership to tomgregg1@verizon.net or to the address listed above. We will put together a memorial

slideshow for all to remember their departed Lions. Following Necrology, will be District 14-E’s State Hospitality Night to celebrate 100 years of Lionism where we will honor those Lions with 40 or more years of service. The highlight of the convention will be the Centennial Service project on Saturday afternoon, sponsored by our Pennsylvania Counsellors Association.

Our goal is to package 30,000 meal packets for distribution to the hungry across the world. These 30,000 meal packets are des igned to have 6 servings per packet, thus, providing 180,000 total meals. This project is divided into 4 sessions: setup and preparation, followed by three 1 hour packing sessions. The first packing session is reserved for our Leos, their advisors, and President Bob and Lion Dianne. Please sign up for a time slot to work. It is not hard work, but it is a lot of fun. Please check out the convention Facebook page: MD 14 PA Lions State Convention which has a video showing the project. It’s not

too late to submit your club’s $15 donation to the PA Counsellors to help fund this project and future feeding programs. Please remember the best part of any convention is the friendships you create and renew. We hope to see you at Seven Springs in May.

Yours In Lionism, PDG Tom Gregg Host Committee Chairperson

District 14-L Convention

During the April 8th 14-L District Convention the attendees were charged to help complete a hands on ser-vice project. During this year, Lions were asked to collect the small soaps, shampoos and lotions from hotels, Dollar Stores and any location that would provide them. The goal was to pack 500 hygiene bags for delivery to -- care homes and shelters within the five county District.

As the items came rolling in, Chairperson Lion Susan Edwards began to be concerned where to store the items as her garage began to overflow. The day came and after the afternoon seminars the announcement was made, Time to Pack the Bags. At that time the Lions attending charged into the room that was laid out to handle the bag packing and dug in. In less than one hour they had packed 536 bags identified to be delivered to nine locations. Even after that, there was still a quantity of items remaining. Those have since been delivered un-bagged to several shelters in the District.

It is truly amazing when Lions are given a challenge, how they rise to the occasion to Serve oth-ers. The motto "We Serve" still holds true.
