Hello Ladies

What a beautiful day too nice to be inside

The Presidents weekend in Petone was a very busy one but very interesting

and informative There was a lot of discussion on communication retention of

members introducing possible changes within your clubs new members and

making club meetings more interesting and having fun and involving your new

members in all the projects that you do as a club

There are a number of service events coming up that require the whole club to

participate in Childrens Dignity Week10-10-10 for kids mobility and World

Service Day which are all coming up

Our Young Achievers awards night will be on the 24thSeptember Help will

be required for this evening

Thank you to all the committees you are doing a wonderful job and have a very

interesting year lined up for us all

Just living is not enough

one must have sunshine freedom and a little

flower

On your 100 service to the club to

Val Forward Lucy Clark and Helen McSporran

A month into the new Lions year and we have started on a positive note

We have inducted 13 new members celebrated the Presidents weekend

and we are continuing to serve the community Congratulations to all the

clubs who have recruited new members I would like to welcome them

into the Lions family International President Dr Yamada says ldquoAsk one

starts at homerdquo have you asked your family member to join Lions

I appreciate the efforts of my home club Petone Lions PDG Noel Scherp GLT Team Leader

PDG Sandie McIntosh and the facilitators for an awesome Presidents weekend Partners

programme was a knockout It began with stepping into the past at Petone Settlers Museum and

then a nail biting battle of the sexes at a game of 10 Pin bowling unfortunately the trophy was

never found It was great to see Past District Governors join dinner at La Bella Italia to celebrate

the leadership challenge that the Presidents have undertaken Antonio Cacace proprietor of La

Bella Italia was the inspirational and humorous guest speaker at dinner He spoke about how he

realised his dream which struck a chord with all Lions PDG Alice McDonaldrsquos creative

approach of inducting the 2015-16 Cabinet with an analogy to the planets was stimulating

A special thanks to all the attendees the weekend was enjoyable with your participation

Service is what we do Engaging our Youth is the Centennial Service Challenge for August As

is rightly said ldquoYouth who engage in meaningful service projects experience a host of positive

outcomesrdquo I am sure most clubs are already carrying on youth projects Report the activity as

centennial project in the service activity report and contribute to benefit 25 million people

Childrens Dignity Week is from 30th August ndash 5th September 2015 Lions bring hope and help

to children in need I would encourage all clubs to undertake projects to provide more help to

children

ANZI forum is scheduled from Friday 4th September - Sunday 6th September at Auckland Itrsquos

a great forum to meet Lions from constitutional area 7 International President Dr Yamada and

1st Vice President as well as attend the informative sessions

Collectively these clubs have been recorded for donating US$21673 to LCIF

during the 2014 - 2015 Lions year Club donations ranged between

US$247838 and US$9783 It is very pleasing to say that 26 out of 53 Lions

Clubs and 2 out of 5 Lioness Clubs in the District made a contribution

If your Lions Club is mentioned above AND you achieved an increase in your

club membership then I would suggest you fill in the application form for the

Club Excellence Award as these are the two areas clubs find most difficult to

achieve Every donation is appreciated so thank you to you all Our Foundation

is all about Lions helping Lions achieve their community projects

Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) provides grant funding to assist

Lions clubs in developing and implementing large-scale humanitarian projects

The foundationrsquos focus is in sight saving projects supporting our youth

providing disaster relief and combating disability These grants help Lions

expand our outreach and increase our ability within local and global

communities to serve even more people in need around the world So please

support our foundation and make a positive difference in the lives of others

If you have any questions about making a donation applying for a grant

awarding someone with a Melvin Jones Fellowship award or any question

about the Foundation then please contact me My details are in the directory

however email is probably easiest and my email address is

202mlciflionsclubsorgnz

I look forward to hearing from you soon

PCC Jo Cameron

202M LCIF coordinator

International President Dr Jitsuhiro Yamada theme Dignity As we strive to serve the needs of others let us always remember to respect the

dignity of those we serve As we reach out to others with hands of service let us always

remember it is not a handout

Harmony As we build others up let us always remember serving others isnrsquot just an act of

kindness it is also a means to build understanding and harmony

Humanity As we show empathy for the less fortunate in our respective communities let us

extend empathy to all who are suffering around the world And as we continue to serve human

kind let us remember that serving humanity is not a duty it is a

responsibility

EVERY YEAR thousands of small cranes cross over the Himalayas

at an altitude of 8000m in V formation for their seasonal migration

They are known as demoiselle cranes and they are the smallest species

in the crane family of birds During the summer they reside in the

steppes of Mongolia As winter approaches they form groups and

begin their southward journey to India At 8000 meters the

temperature is minus thirty Celsius and the oxygen saturation is only

one third of the terrestrial oxygen level Those brutal conditions make

their migration a life or death journey in the truest sense

This gruelling route would be impossible for a small number of birds By flying in a large V

formation each bird can make use of the backflow of air over the wings of the other birds in

front of them and by doing so reduce the total energy expended The leading bird expends the

greatest amount of energy so it is necessary to continually rotate new birds into the position

The demoiselle crane depends upon the cooperation and harmony of every other member of the

flock While each bird is small every bird has great dignity

The determination demonstrated as well as other characteristics like teamwork and their

family structure have endeared the crane to multiple cultures In Japan the crane has

traditionally been a symbol of long life In the Japanese art of origami the crane is the most

basic and representative form that all children learn how to make There is a custom of folding

cranes and giving one to a loved one who is suffering from disease or injury as a way to say

ldquowe wish you a quick recovery and long liferdquo The folding of origami cranes is a meditative act

that shows the heartfelt wishes of friends and family for the ill to become well again But the

crane has also become known as a symbol of peace ndash not only in Japan but around the world

We Lions have been fostering international peace and harmony through service giving hope to

all people and giving opportunity to live with dignity As a medical doctor I made a career out

of fighting for the dignity of human life A doctor might be able to save 10000 lives

over the course his career By working together our association can save tend of

millions of lives each year through our programs

Peace hope determination teamwork and uniting people through

service are central elements of my presidential theme -

Dignity Harmony Humanityrdquo

EVERY YEAR thousands of small cranes cross over the Himalayas

at an altitude of 8000m in V formation for their seasonal migration

They are known as demoiselle cranes and they are the smallest species

in the crane family of birds During the summer they reside in the

steppes of Mongolia As winter approaches they form groups and

begin their southward journey to India At 8000 meters the

temperature is minus thirty Celsius and the oxygen saturation is only

one third of the terrestrial oxygen level Those brutal conditions make

their migration a life or death journey in the truest sense

This gruelling route would be impossible for a small number of birds By flying in a large V

formation each bird can make use of the backflow of air over the wings of the other birds in

front of them and by doing so reduce the total energy expended The leading bird expends the

greatest amount of energy so it is necessary to continually rotate new birds into the position

The demoiselle crane depends upon the cooperation and harmony of every other member of the

flock While each bird is small every bird has great dignity

The determination demonstrated as well as other characteristics like teamwork and their

family structure have endeared the crane to multiple cultures In Japan the crane has

traditionally been a symbol of long life In the Japanese art of origami the crane is the most

basic and representative form that all children learn how to make There is a custom of folding

cranes and giving one to a loved one who is suffering from disease or injury as a way to say

ldquowe wish you a quick recovery and long liferdquo The folding of origami cranes is a meditative act

that shows the heartfelt wishes of friends and family for the ill to become well again But the

crane has also become known as a symbol of peace ndash not only in Japan but around the world

We Lions have been fostering international peace and harmony through service giving hope to

all people and giving opportunity to live with dignity As a medical doctor I made a career out

of fighting for the dignity of human life A doctor might be able to save 10000 lives

over the course his career By working together our association can save tend of

millions of lives each year through our programs

Peace hope determination teamwork and uniting people through

service are central elements of my presidential theme -

Dignity Harmony Humanityrdquo

Hello Ladies

What a beautiful day too nice to be inside

The Presidents weekend in Petone was a very busy one but very interesting

and informative There was a lot of discussion on communication retention of

members introducing possible changes within your clubs new members and

making club meetings more interesting and having fun and involving your new

members in all the projects that you do as a club

There are a number of service events coming up that require the whole club to

participate in Childrens Dignity Week10-10-10 for kids mobility and World

Service Day which are all coming up

Our Young Achievers awards night will be on the 24thSeptember Help will

be required for this evening

Thank you to all the committees you are doing a wonderful job and have a very

interesting year lined up for us all

Just living is not enough

one must have sunshine freedom and a little

flower

On your 100 service to the club to

Val Forward Lucy Clark and Helen McSporran

A month into the new Lions year and we have started on a positive note

We have inducted 13 new members celebrated the Presidents weekend

and we are continuing to serve the community Congratulations to all the

clubs who have recruited new members I would like to welcome them

into the Lions family International President Dr Yamada says ldquoAsk one

starts at homerdquo have you asked your family member to join Lions

I appreciate the efforts of my home club Petone Lions PDG Noel Scherp GLT Team Leader

PDG Sandie McIntosh and the facilitators for an awesome Presidents weekend Partners

programme was a knockout It began with stepping into the past at Petone Settlers Museum and

then a nail biting battle of the sexes at a game of 10 Pin bowling unfortunately the trophy was

never found It was great to see Past District Governors join dinner at La Bella Italia to celebrate

the leadership challenge that the Presidents have undertaken Antonio Cacace proprietor of La

Bella Italia was the inspirational and humorous guest speaker at dinner He spoke about how he

realised his dream which struck a chord with all Lions PDG Alice McDonaldrsquos creative

approach of inducting the 2015-16 Cabinet with an analogy to the planets was stimulating

A special thanks to all the attendees the weekend was enjoyable with your participation

Service is what we do Engaging our Youth is the Centennial Service Challenge for August As

is rightly said ldquoYouth who engage in meaningful service projects experience a host of positive

outcomesrdquo I am sure most clubs are already carrying on youth projects Report the activity as

centennial project in the service activity report and contribute to benefit 25 million people

Childrens Dignity Week is from 30th August ndash 5th September 2015 Lions bring hope and help

to children in need I would encourage all clubs to undertake projects to provide more help to

children

ANZI forum is scheduled from Friday 4th September - Sunday 6th September at Auckland Itrsquos

a great forum to meet Lions from constitutional area 7 International President Dr Yamada and

1st Vice President as well as attend the informative sessions

Club bulletins are interesting and I would love to read them all I have missed receiving

bulletins from many clubs Bulletin editors please send your club bulletin to me VDG Sam

Browne and 2nd VDG Rex Bullard if you are not already doing so Information about district

trainings will be published soon club members are encouraged to attend

I am excited about club visits DG visits start on 3 August and are shared with 1st VDG and 2nd

VDG Please feel free to send me information about your future projects I would love to assist

in projects or participate in a celebration

A little birdie once said ldquochange is the only constant in liferdquo

greatest amount of energy so it is necessary to continually rotate new birds into the position

The demoiselle crane depends upon the cooperation and harmony of every other member of the

flock While each bird is small every bird has great dignity

The determination demonstrated as well as other characteristics like teamwork and their

family structure have endeared the crane to multiple cultures In Japan the crane has

traditionally been a symbol of long life In the Japanese art of origami the crane is the most

basic and representative form that all children learn how to make There is a custom of folding

cranes and giving one to a loved one who is suffering from disease or injury as a way to say

ldquowe wish you a quick recovery and long liferdquo The folding of origami cranes is a meditative act

that shows the heartfelt wishes of friends and family for the ill to become well again But the

crane has also become known as a symbol of peace ndash not only in Japan but around the world

We Lions have been fostering international peace and harmony through service giving hope to

all people and giving opportunity to live with dignity As a medical doctor I made a career out

of fighting for the dignity of human life A doctor might be able to save 10000 lives

over the course his career By working together our association can save tend of

millions of lives each year through our programs

Peace hope determination teamwork and uniting people through

service are central elements of my presidential theme -

EVERY YEAR thousands of small cranes cross over the Himalayas

at an altitude of 8000m in V formation for their seasonal migration

They are known as demoiselle cranes and they are the smallest species

in the crane family of birds During the summer they reside in the

steppes of Mongolia As winter approaches they form groups and

begin their southward journey to India At 8000 meters the

temperature is minus thirty Celsius and the oxygen saturation is only

one third of the terrestrial oxygen level Those brutal conditions make

their migration a life or death journey in the truest sense

This gruelling route would be impossible for a small number of birds By flying in a large V

formation each bird can make use of the backflow of air over the wings of the other birds in

front of them and by doing so reduce the total energy expended The leading bird expends the

greatest amount of energy so it is necessary to continually rotate new birds into the position

The demoiselle crane depends upon the cooperation and harmony of every other member of the

flock While each bird is small every bird has great dignity

The determination demonstrated as well as other characteristics like teamwork and their

family structure have endeared the crane to multiple cultures In Japan the crane has

traditionally been a symbol of long life In the Japanese art of origami the crane is the most
