President’s Message: Lion President Don Fleming

Well, May is here and we begin to see the effects of the rain. Lots of flowers and warmer weather. We can be out-side with a more positive attitude and get ready to celebrate numerous holi-days; Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day and Memorial Day. As we get out more we need to think of energizing our Lions Club with better participation and new members.

As a service club we need members who are active and willing to work for the benefit of our community. It is important for all of us to be thinking of additional things we can do to improve our community. We need everyone to help build a better club. Remember to participate in our efforts to grow and improve the Daly City Host Lions club.

Daly City Host Lions Recycling Opportunities

Don Riker Recycling Fund—Bring your cans and bottles to the second meeting each month or contact Lion Ed Dollard to arrange pick up. Turn in at your local recycling center and donate the money to the fund.

Bread Tags for Wheelchairs— Don’t throw the little plastic tag from your bread bags away – bring them to Lion Secretary Denise Kelly. The Leos in District 4-C4 are collecting them for Danielle Cares for Chairs (an organization recycling bread tags for the purchase of wheelchairs).

Cancelled Stamps for Easter Seals—Cut the stamps off the envelope(s) and please make sure to include the postmark. Bring the stamps to any club meet-ing and we will send them to Easter Seals. Easter Seals makes lots of money selling them to philatelists worldwide.

Pull Tabs—Before you recycle your beverage can, remove the pull tab. Bring the pull tabs to any club meeting or event. Tabs will be forwarded to Fresno Host Lions Club for Ronald MacDonald House.

Empty Ink Jet Cartridges—Bring them to any club meeting or event. Let Lion Secretary Denise Kelly know which Lions organization you are donating to (Student Speaker Foundation, Lions Veterans Charities, etc.) and they will be forwarded.

Vehicle Donations—Contact Lion Ed Dollard to donate your unwanted vehicle. This is joint project with St. Vincent de Paul Society.

Keys for Sight—Bring your old keys to any club meeting and they will be recycled for our White Cane Fund.

Lions Clubs International Code of Ethics

To Show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.

To Seek success and to demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part.

To Remember that in building up my business it is not necessary to tear down another's; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to myself.

Whenever a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself.

To Hold friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.

Always to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, and my community, as to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act, and deed. To give them freely of my time, labor and means.

To Aid others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my substance to the needy.

To Be Careful with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not destroy.

May Laughs

www.dchostlions.org

Oldest Profession

A doctor, an engineer, and a politician were

discussing who among them belonged to the

oldest of the three professions. Each one of

them thought they had this in the bag.

The physician said, “Remember, on the sixth

day God took a rib from Adam and fashioned

Eve, making him the first surgeon. Therefore,

medicine is the oldest profession.

The engineer replied, “But, before that, God

created the heavens and earth from chaos and

confusion, and thus he was the first engineer.

Therefore, engineering is an older profession

than medicine.”

Then, the politician spoke up. “Yes yes, this is all

well and true,” he said, “but who do you think

created all of the chaos and confusion?”

Easter Visitor

Monday after Easter, the teacher asks her pupils how they spent the holiday.

"So, kids," said the teacher as the kids listened intently, "who’s came to your house this weekend with big ears and floppy feet?"

Without raising his arm, Little Johnny exclaimed, "My Uncle Brian! How did you know?"

Science Lab

Mother: “How was school today, Patrick?”

Patrick: “It was really great mum! Today in the

science lab we made explosives!”

Mother: “Ooh, they do very fancy stuff with you

these days. And what will you do at school to-

morrow?”

Patrick: “What school?”
