A learned man is

one who wants to

know, not one who

wants to

show...Said .Lal

Bahadur Shastri,

the ex Prime

minister of India.

Knowledge makes a

man humble. They say when a tree is laden

with fruits, it bows in humility. Pomp and

show is definitely eye catching, but some

persons like to do things without them.

The present Governor Lion Ramesh Babu

is humble, speaks less and believes in true

delegation. His confidence in his cabinet

Members is well placed. This firm belief in

his fellow Lions had yielded results and he

has won First Believers Award from the

International President. I always keep saying

that God helps the person whose heart is

pure. Good intentions, purity of thoughts

and sincerity in what one does always pays.

DG had emerged to be role model for the

Club leaders in such a short time.

Extension and Membership Growth under

the stupendous efforts of GMT have

propelled our District to the TOP position

not just in the entire Multiple, but also in

South India.

We are in GLOBAL TOP FIVE and this is a

stupendous achievement, We are

committed to keep up the momentum. As

the Club officers are by now firmly settled

in their seats, they should take up steps to

increase the memberships in their own

Clubs. We aim at a stage where the District

should have no Club with under 20

Membership, With the Family Membership

scenario, it is by any means not an

unachievable task. October is the right time

Editorial

to add new members. Do so and win GMT

Awards listed elsewhere in this Publication.

August and September have been quite

hectic months. We have seen several

outstanding programs and Service

Activities. Lions seem to have woken up

after a long rest and are bubbling with

enthusiasm. Every one seems to be

enthusiastic to contribute his share in this

year’s wonderful journey.

Massive Tree plantation program taken up

by all the Clubs on a single day speaks

volumes about the organizational skills our

District has and the commitment our Clubs

have for the Governor’s and International

President’s call.

How many presidents in the past got an

opportunity to meet the International

President in their tenure in the past? The

Club presidents shall feel lucky that this year

the International President did have a direct

meeting with them at Bangalore. Our

Presidents should definitely have a pumped

up feeling this year and definitely should

yield results that would make us proud.

Update would like to have more articles in

Telugu, Hindi and Kanada. We would

welcome quality write-ups in these

languages regularly.

Lions update pays homage to Lion P.

Roopkaran Reddy, Past District

Governor who expired after a brief illness

on 17th August 2011.

Lion Roopkaran Reddy will always be

remembered for his work of Sight

Conservation. He played a vital role in

establishment of Lion Ram Reddy Lions

Hospital at Yenugonda, Mahabubnagar. He

spent many years at the Hospital itself to

establish the Hospital and make it

financially viable. He was appointed by the

Government of Andhra Pradesh as District

Blindness Control Authority.

A homage programme was attended by

Past Governors from all the Hyderabad

based Districts and Lions at Lions Bhavan.

His family also attended the programme.

We pray to the Lord Alimity to bestowe

peace upon the noble sole of Lion

Roopkaran Reddy and pray God to give

sufficient strength to Lion Bharathi and

rest of the family.

Rameshsya Rasmadhuryam

Dear Lions,

Warm Greetings

of the festive

Season

I would like to

first pay a

h e a r t f e l t

homage to my

guide and Well wisher late Lion P

Roop Karan Reddy. In his demise I

have lost an Elder brother, whose

guide I would have definitely needed

all through the year. However destiny

snatched him from all of us. His

dedicated services in establishing and

making Ram Reddy Lions Hospital a

monument of service is engraved in

the History of Lions and shall remain

so forever.

The first major task of the year was

to get District Directory in time. Lions

have been telling us about past

couple of years when we could not

deliver it on time. However this year

the Chief Editor Lion Ramesh

Chandra Babu had worked hard on

the District Directory and we could

finally come out with the District

Directory not just in time but also

distribute it on the spot. It is a well

organized and printed Directory and

my compliments to Lion Ramesh

Chandra Babu and his editorial team.

Over 100 sewing machines donated

at the hands of our International

Directory Lion VV Krishna Reddy was

the highlight of the evening that saw

our District Cabinet Installed. I should

thank all the Clubs that participated

in this joint Service Activity held under

the ages of the District.

Earlier in the day Lion Ashok Mehta,

our International past President

inaugurated the Lions Satellite

hospital, an extension of Lions Ram

Reddy hospital of my home Club

Amangal. I congratulate Amangal

club for this new feature in its cap.

Hope that this hospital proves to be

of immense help to the areas around

the periphery of Hyderabad.

Teacher’s day was well observed

under the able leadership of Lion

Srinivas Netha. Over hundered

teachers were honored. The program

was grand success. All the credit goes

to Lion Netha, His Club Members and

his able team.

Tree plantation was taken up on a

single day by all the Clubs and the

drive saw one Lakh Eight Thousand

trees planted by 68 Clubs, including

the New Clubs. I compliment all the

Region Chairpersons for co

coordinating this mass activity. All the

Club presidents deserve a pat on

their back for this achievement. The

trees planted should be taken good

care of, so that they can help us

fight the Global Warming and help

us conserve Mother Nature. We

consider Earth as our Mother and

trees are its ornaments. Planting a

tree is like presenting an ornament

to our mother.

Charter of Hyderabad Film City was

presented by me in a well organized

program. Multiple Council Chairman

Ln Babu Rao installed the First team

of the Club in a methodical way. I

must congratulate Lion Ramana for

his efforts in Club formation and am

confident that the President Lion

Shatrughnudu will deliver good

meaningful service activities along

with his team of office bearers.

Senior Citizens day is celebrated

jointly with Dist 324C-6 and Senior

Citizens Forum each year. This year

too under the able leadership of Lion

Prof. G Manohar Rao, we were able

to organize a successful event.

Several health check ups were done

free for Senior Citizens besides sports

and talent recognitions for them. I

thank all the lions who made this

program successful. I also thank the

Clubs that sponsored food items,

Medical facilities etc; for the program.

This has become our regular and

widely known Activity in Hyderabad.

First Issue of LIONS UPDATE was

released on time, thanks to the

Efforts of the Chief Editor Lion Manoj

Kumar Purohit. The UPDATE BLOG

is also well appreciated all over.

Let us work united to keep the District

Flag flown higher.

Yours in Service,

Lion Ramesh Babu, pmjf

District Governor

Murthy Rahasyam

Narasimha Garjana

Dear Lions,

Lions Update is the only one medium which carries my

thoughts to all the Lions of the District every alternate

month. I wish that all the Lions must go through the

entire Publication religiously. This will help them in updating

their knowledge of Lionism. We need Lions who are well

educated in our policies, Ideology, Rules and Procedures.

A well informed Lion is always an Asset for any

organization.

As the Information kranti has taken over the entire

world and we do depend more and more upon

Information Technology, these days, it is pertinent that

each Lions Club officer is well versed with the basic

knowledge of computer and WMMR. Knowledge of

uploading WMMR has become the basic required

knowledge for Club President and Secretary. By logging

into the net and the International website, you can get

all the information about your Club Membership, Club

Billings and Club Reports including

Activities Reports. Activities Reports

has the opportunity to upload your

Club Activities Pictures online for the

entire world to see. The same

reports can be downloaded and sent

to the district, Zone and Region

Chairpersons. Your activities can be shared globally and

vice versa you can also navigate through the web to

see what other Clubs in other parts of the world are

doing.

I wish that Each Club President and Secretary of the

Club shall take to WMMR as a fish takes to water.

Your’s in Service

Lion N N Murthy, mjf

First Vice District Governor

Dear Fellow Lions,

Warm Lionsitic and Festival Greetings.

As the year progresses, I hope the team of office

bearers of each of the Club had settled firm in their

saddles. Dear Club Leaders, please remember that this

opportunity is with you only for few more months. If

you want to make your own dreams come true this is

the right time to initiate and implement your plans. I

am sure the Club yearly plans must be in place by now.

No Plans succeed on their own, unless backed by a

determined effort to succeed. Also it is necessary that

the entire strength of the Club ( it’s Members) be invoked

and involved. That is the real essence of leadership.

I would appeal the Club Leadership to take up fundraising

for implementation of their projects. Without enough

funds, your dreams may remain dreams only. Clubs

like Hyderabad and Petals have done fund raising through

organizing Musical event and Dandia

Utsav. Each of the Club should have

a Fund raising program that suits to

its culture and environment. Few

Clubs could join in a common event

to share the Burden of organizing a

major event. This could minimize

the overheads and maximize the

revenues.

Being the Chairman of Global Leadership Team, I must

advice all the Clubs to take active part in all the Leadership

development programs orgaised by our GMT Team

lead by Ln Mohan Doss well supported by GMT team

led by Lion MKR Purohit. We are committed to develop

future leadership in the District. Should any Club need

any kind assistance from me, I am ready to help them

out in any respect.

Lion Dr. Narasimha Reddy, mjf

Second Vice District Governor

Narendra Nadaswaram Vishnu Vaibhavayam

My Dear Fellow Lions

Warmest Lionistic Greetings,

Permit me to address to the Club

Leadership, especially the President

and the Secretaries.

MMR: Though some Clubs are quite

regular in sending the MMRs, it is sorry to note that

some others lag way behind the schedule.

Let me point out the basics;

Last date for submission of Manual MMR is 20th of

each month.

Last date for submission of WMMR is Last day of each

month.

But then why do u have to wait till the last date to

upload your MMR? It can be done on any day of the

month. We at the District with the support of Lion

Ramesh Chandra Babu, Lion Purohit and Lion

Bhikshapaty have helped several Clubs in creating their

Online IDs and Passwords. I hope all the Clubs secretaties

would make it a point to send the MMrs well in advance

each month.

Pleas don’t forget to take printout of the WMMR and

send it to

1) District Governor’s office @ Hyderabad

2) Region Chairperson

3) Zone Chairperson

Activity Report of Each Month should be send to all the

above referred Officers before the 7th of the succeeding

month along with Activity Photographs, Press Clippings

and certificates.

Though the basic duty of MMR and Activities Report is

that of Secretary, yet it is the duty of the Club President

to see that all the above referred Requirements are

completed by their deadlines each month.

I only hope that all the Clubs do follow this routine in

right earnest.

Lion S Narender Reddy mjf

District Cabinet Secretary

Namaskaramu,

I hope the Clubs must have

collected the fees from all the

members by now. It is the primary

duty of each member to pay his

dues to the Club without asking,

each year in July only. Some Clubs

have very good practices of timely

collections of Dues. The practice must be followed by

all the Clubs.

The final line of cutoff for the renewal of Insurance is

drawing near, we would be in no position to renew the

insurance of such clubs that do not pay their District

dues by then. I only hope that none of the Clubs would

like to miss the chance. The Region and Zone Chairmen

are following with the Clubs and I urge the Club

Leadership to head to their wise counseling.

Clubs are advised to please submit the evidences of

Bank accounts for both Administration and Service

Activities Separately, so that the promised sum of

Rs.6,000/- to each of them may be released by us at

all such clubs.

International Policy on Club Dues:

A Lions Club will be Automatically Suspended if it has an

outstanding balance of more than US $1,000 or US

$20 per member; whichever is less, over 150 days old.

This should amply clear the necessity that all Club Dues

should be paid, the moment the Bill arrives. So dear

Presidents and Treasurers get geared up and pay the

dues immediately, if not paid by now.

Though we have received the Amounts by some of

the Lions who will be becoming Melvin jones Fellows this

year, some others are yet to make the payment. I

request them to send the amounts immediately so that

the same may be forwarded in time and they can

receive their MJF Plaques in time.

Lion S Vishnuwas Reddy

District Cabinet Treasurer

EYE DONATION

THALASSEMIA & SICKLE CELL

SOCIETY BLOOD BANK

Thalassemia & Sickle Cell Society Hyderabad is an NGO, established

in 1998, provides quality treatment to over 1400 patients by way

of free blood, transfusion services, subsidised iron chelation drugs,

counselling patients and parents and conduct awareness

programmes on prevention of thalassemia. The Society’s work is

focussed on serving persons affected by thalassemia & sickle cell

disorder with a mission to improve the life style and extend life

span of people affected by the blood disorder

The Society has established Blood Bank Thanks to a Magnanimous

Donation by Lion Gubba Nagender from Hyderabad Mazestic Club,

which is situated adjacent to the transfusion centre which started

its operation from 20th March, 2010 onwards. The Blodd bank is

named after his Father. It operates primarily to fulfill the need for

blood to thalassemia patients. Every month 500 to 700 patients

undergo transfusion at their day care centre which has facility of

20 beds. The centre needs at least 50 units of blood every day

to meet the transfusion needs of patients.

TSCS blood bank is licensed by the Drug Controller and all blood

samples are screened for HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Malarial

parasites and VDRL. With its modern, sophisticated equipment, it

follows quality measures in blood donor selection, collection of

blood, processing of blood etc. They have a dedicated team of

doctors and qualified medical technicians. The technical

procedures are adopted keeping in mind the patient’s safety.

They organise blood donation camps in different parts of city

from time to time. They have installed a cold-room to store 2000

to 3000 units of whole blood at 4 – 6 degree Celsius and

equipments for component separation and component storage.

They prepare packed cell, Fresh frozen plasma, platelet rich plasma

and random donor platelets (PRP) and random donor platelet

(RDP). They also have the facility to prepare Single Donor Platelet

(SDP) used during dengu fever. Our services are “round the clock”.

Perhaps only some of us are aware that thalassemia children require

blood transfusion every month for survival. There is no substitute

for blood. Only blood donors can help to provide blood to save

the lives of thalassemia children. The Society request lions clubs

to extend help to organise blood donation camp at your place

and support the cause of children with thalassemia.

Lion Gangadhara Rao

Multiple 324C GMT Coordinator

Lions Clubs International has evolved the

new concept of GMT & GLT program after

careful consideration of newer concepts

for achieving Significant, continuous and

sustainable membership growth with a

great emphasis on District Governors

Teams and Global membership teams

The new concept was conceived and was started in the year

2008 when our International association has formed a pilot team

for Global Membership growth with constitutional area leaders

and international directors as members. The team work of this

committee showed positive results regarding Membership growth

with significant gains. This prompted the Lions Clubs International

to appoint a special committee of International Board of directors

in the year 2009-10 to recommend the detailed plan of

implementing the Global membership strategies. The

recommendations of this special committee were accepted by

the Lions Clubs International and the decision to replace the MERL

program by GMT program and parallelly creating the GLT Program

on a similar basis and implement this from the Lionistic year 2011-

12.Hence from this lionistic year 2011-12 MERL program has

been deleted and replaced by GMT & GLT program.

The aim of this initiative is to achieve

* Continued membership growth

* develop club excellence program

* achieve better leadership development.

TEAM STRUCTURE:

International: The international president is the team leader for

both GMT&GLT. First Vice president of the association will be the

liason for co coordinating the GMT work and the second vice

president looks after the GLT program. The team at the head

quarters consists of International leaders appointed one each to

guide the team one for GMT & one for GLT.The managers of the

departments of membership,extention and leadership are the

members of this high level committee. The international directors

on these committees are also members of this team.

Constitutional area and area leaders: Lion A.P.Singh past

international director is our constitutional area leader for GMT

and Lion Naresh Agarwal another past international director works

as team leader for GLT for ISAAME constitutional area.

LionM.Nagarajan PID and Lion Premnath PDG are the area leaders

for India and Srilanka for co coordinating the GMT & GLT work

respectively.

Multiple District Co coordinators for MD 324C: Lion Dr.P.Gangadhara

Rao Past Multiple Counil Chairman MD324 is the Multiple District

Co Ordinator for MD 324C supported by three member supporting

team Lion Manohara Rao PDG,Lion Basaveswara Rao PDG and Lion

Babuji Rao PDG to take care of the GMT programme in our multiple

district 324C. Lion K.Govindaraj Past Multiple Council Treasurer is

the GLT coordinator for MD324C with a three member supporting

team of Lion Jagan Mohan Reddy PMCC MD324.Lion T.K.Sarma

PDG & Lion Dr.P.S.Sarma PDG.

GMT & GLT in sub districts: GMT & GLT coordinators for each sub

district have been nominated by the D G teams. Under the GMT

team two supporting teams, the first membership and extention

team & club excellence process team with three members in

each have to be formed to take care of membership growth and

efficiency of lions clubs. For GLT at the sub District supporting

team with three to four members has to be formed by the D G

teams.

THE GMT & GLT TEAMS AT EACH LEVEL HAVE TO WORK HAND

IN GLOVE IN VERY CLOSE CO ORDINATION AND UNDERSTANDING

TO ACHIEVE THE EXTRA ORDINARY RESULTS IN PROMOTING

MEMBERSHIP AND LEADERSHIP.

Working Modules for GMT & GLT program:

In spite of the best efforts put in by Lions clubs International to

reach the target of 1.5 million members we could not reach the

goal. Rather day by day we are getting more ex-lions than the

members in the organisation.The Global membership and

leadership schedules are aimed in promoting cent percent retention

and effective membership growth as it is a fact ---more members

- more services.

Steps for the working schedules:

1. Effective GMT & GLT teams have to be formed at the

Lions District level by the DG teams with an undertaking

that these lions extend their services for a period of three

years (2011-2014).If their contribution is not up to the

expectations, the Lions Clubs International can relieve them

of their responsibilities after review of their work at the

end of each Lionistic year.

2. The district GMT teams have to work in close co ordination

with the Zone chairmen and club officers, workout quarterly

targets for membership growth for each Lions Club and

try to achieve them in specific time schedule.

3. Develop plans for achieving cent percent results in retaining

members.

4. Identify the clubs where training is required for achieving

club excellence.

5. Identify the areas for club extention in a time bound

quarterly schedule.

6. Train sufficient number of certified guiding lions in each

Lions District who have to be nominated as guiding lions

for the new lions clubs and also week clubs by the District

Governors.

7. Identify potential leaders and give them training for

grooming them as effective lion leaders at various levels

i,e. starting from the membership level, ZCs, RCs ,Cabinet

members, and effective faculty work force in each district.

8. Initiate the process for converting ineffective clubs into

excellent clubs.

ORDINATING OFFICER FOR MEMBERSHIP AND THE SECOND VICE

Dear Lion brother GMT Co Ordinator Lion Purohit,

Hearty congratulations for a job excellently done and

methodically reported. Lions like you make the real difference

in Lionism . If I follow the quotation of Swami Vivekananda

give me five people like Purohit we can do wonders and reach

the !.5 million mark at international and 50,000 in our multiple

in three years.

Good luck,

Hearty congratulations for standing first in our multiple at the

end of the first quarter of the Lionistic year.My appreciations to

you and look forward for many more achievements in the future.

My dear Ln. Ramesh,

Just this morning I have received District Directory for the District

324 C2 for the year 2011-2012. In my lionistic career of about

47 years, the District Directory of your year is the best in all

respects. The printing is very good, nicely bound and providing

best information. I offer my salutation to your leadership which

has percolated to the Chief Editor Lion P. Ramesh Chandra

Babu and to all other responsible for this Directory. I am sure

your sharp leadership will be seen further during the year. My

complements to you and may God bless you.

With Regards,

Lion O P GOENKA, PDG

What time do your Club Meeting End? Especially the Installation

or Charter nite Meetings?

Give an honest answer to yourself.

Are your family members happy about the length of your Club

meetings?

Do your family members like to and look forward to Club

functions?

Many of us do visit other Clubs, out of courtesy at Sister Club

Functions and often are made to sit for untiring hours that

seem to never end. Getting back to our Clubs, do we ever try to

change this practice at our home Club meetings?

Talk to any former Lion, the major complaint is Politics and

lengthy and boring meetings. After a day of hectic busy

schedules, the members come to a meeting to relax and have

a change of atmosphere. What they get in turn is boring lectures,

repetitive talks on the same old points and same old stories

getting narrated infinite numbers of times. Why should some

one waste his time to listen to same old stories?

"MIKASUR", the Virus (demon) of mike creeps into every Lions

Meetings. So Contagious is it that- it captures the minds of

speakers that come closer to the Mike and takes over them.

The effected person shows the following symptoms;

He looses the sense of time

He looses control over hi tongue and keeps on talking.

Even if the person has nothing else to say he keeps repeating

the same things over and again.

He forgets what his assignment is and if asked to welcome

goes on to thank every one, If asked to Introduce some one,

keeps introducing himself rather than introducing the guest and

keeps committing such silly mistakes.

Even the latest Virus detector programs like MacAfee etc; have

failed to find a solution to this virus. Do you have any program

to control this virus? If so please send to the Chief Editor. The

best one will be published in the Update with your names.

Nothing to worry. GMT is for

GLOBAL LEADERSHIP TEAM

Orientation Workshop at Bangalore

As a leader, you know just how critical quality leadership is to

the overall success of any organization, including ours. An

effective leadership team provides the vision, guidance and

motivation necessary for Lions Clubs International to continue

to fulfill its mission of providing quality, relevant service to the

global community.

The new Global Leadership Team, or GLT, provides a

concentrated focus on active leadership development. Beginning

in 2011-2012, the GLT will encourage the identification and

development of leaders at all levels of the association, while

providing valuable information, guidance and motivation. The

GLT structure provides a comprehensive global platform for

developing more qualified leaders from the club level up, while

encouraging regional training and development approaches to

address local needs.

A Global Leadership Team Orientation was conducted in

Bangalore on 19th and 20th August 2011 to launch this exciting

new initiative. Participants in this two-day interactive session

represented the GLT Coordinators from entire South India

Multiple Sub Districts. Lion P.S.Premnath Area Leader South

India and Sri Lanka chaired the Orientation Programme. All

the four MD GLT Coordinators Past District Governors Lion

K.Govind Raj, Lion K. Dhanbalan, Lion Vasudev Valwalkar and

Lion Verghese Vaidyan were the Faculty. Everyone expressed

enthusiasm and optimism about the potential impact of the

GLT and reconfirmed their commitment to quality Lions

leadership development. In the group discussions as well

presentations Lion N.Mohan Doss was declared as the best

speaker in the Orientation programme.

The GLT strives not only to identify and develop future Lions

leaders, but to train, educate, mentor and motivate leaders as

well. In the end, the efforts of the GLT will ensure our

association's future vitality by expanding the pool of skilled Lions

leaders and enhancing our ability for effective succession

planning.

Every Saturday ~ One Hour Session ~ At Lions Bhavan

Every Saturday One Hour Session between 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

regularly is being held by GLT Coordinator Lion N.Mohan Doss.

This regular session is for the Club Leaders and other District

Officials to get updated information as well the Team will impart

various subjects concerned to Club administration including

training on the following.

Certified Guiding Lions Workshop

Coordinator Lion K.Govind Raj organizing Certified Guiding Lions

Workshops. So far two works were coordinated and 21 Lions

[ 13 + 8 ] attended the Workshop and received the Certificates.

First workshop was on 19th June and the second was held on

31st July

Lions Training for Club Excellence Process

Your club wants to be successful! That is great, but how do

you get there? The Club Excellence Process is the program

that helps clubs first evaluates their program, examine their

community to see if there are needs that the club can address,

and works to get the club moving.

The Club Excellence Process (CEP) is a four step workshop

that any club can participate in. Clubs, guided by a locally trained

facilitator, learn about the characteristics of excellent clubs.

They learn how to be more effective in service, communication,

membership invitation, and membership retention and

leadership/club operations.

Meticulous planning with explicit implementation the programme

to me was a mind blowing event. Subjects covered in SLLI did

give us like a multi energy driven vitamin capsule - all in one.

Mind blowing Quiz session was fantastic, every Activity and

Exercises kept us all through alert physically and mentally. Public
