District Governor-Elect’sMessage

Convention a Huge Success; ThanksFor Vote to Be Your Next Governor

It's a Great Time to be a Lion, Leo and Lioness!Let me share an article I found from the National

Council of Non-profits concerning Budget Cuts.Since the Great Recession, state and local govern-

ments across the country have been cutting their budgetsand pulling back from providing services to people intheir communities, while expecting non-profits and foun-dations to fill the gaps. States, on average, receive 31% oftheir revenues from the federal government. Those rev-enues will likely be cut as a result of the tax cut billsbecause of this basic but rarely discussed formula: Taxcuts = revenue cuts = spending cuts = not enough moneyto meet community needs = more unfunded demand onnon-profits to bear the burden of increased human needs.

Non-profit organizations like Lions, Rotary andKiwanis will have to step up their charitable efforts inorder to maintain the current level of service needed. AsLions - we need to add more members into our clubs anddevelop new clubs where needed. Communities will suf-fer in the long run if non-profit clubs decline. We mustfigure out how to attract new members now!

Can I deduct Lions dues? According to TURBO TAX– Yes, You Can!

Generally, you can't deduct the cost of membershipin any club organized for business, pleasure, recreation, orother social purpose. This includes business, social, ath-letic, luncheon, sporting, airline, hotel, golf, and countryclubs. Since Lions Clubs qualify as tax-deductible chari-table organizations, the dues can be reported as a charita-ble cash donation. Check with your tax professional.

District 14-K Leadership – What if no one steps up?Pending election results, our 2018-2019 incoming

District Governor will be 1st VDG Karlene Laub. LionKarlene is poised to be a great governor and will lead ourmembership with energy and enthusiasm. Since there isno one positioned to follow Lion Karlene, she will need allthe support we can give her. I expect the PDG's to fill inwherever they can to help make Lion Karlene's year a suc-cess. I'm still hopeful that we will find a 1st and a 2ndVDG to lead our District. If not, District 14-K will beabsorbed into bordering districts.

As we enter the final quarter of our year, I would liketo thank every member for your service and continuedsupport of Lionism. You are needed more than ever –today, tomorrow and into the future.

KARLENE LAUB1st Vice District Governor

VACANT2nd Vice District Governor

CHERYL FATZINGERCabinet Secretary

DAVID DANIELCabinet Treasurer

Are we done with the snow? I hope so. Enough isenough. My daffodils and tulips are popping their headsout, but the cold weather is not letting them get big andbeautiful. I was also concerned about the fact that therewas snow in the yard and our family egg hunt would havehad to be done with white eggs, otherwise they would betoo easy to find. Think about it. It would be the strangestegg hunt ever.

Another District 14-K Convention is in the books.What a great convention it was. A big thank you to every-one on the committee who worked so hard to make it hap-pen. There were some new seminars, plenty of baskets, etc.for the raffle, fun with fellow Lions, a service project per-formed by the Leos and not to forget the visit by ID GwenWhite and PDG Rhett White. They are both our kind ofpeople and her humor and wit fit right in with that of ourDistrict Governor. At the luncheon, we not only honoredour Leos with a scholarship and a Leo of the Year, but alsothe students and their families who were there with theirPeace Posters. The first place winner is a 5th grade studentand it is just amazing how much talent these students have.Our very funny tail twister, Lion Nancy Keller, didn't dis-appoint us. Again, this year, her humor and talents shonebright. She very cleverly introduced us to the life ofDistrict Governor Don. Did you know he grew up in Oley,Pa.? Nancy noted that most people go to Oley becausethey are just passing through, but Don's family managed tosettle there. That tells you a lot right there. Because hisbiggest aspiration in life was to be an astronaut, only to putthat aside to be our District Governor, he was surprised toreceive a letter from NASA and his own space helmet. Hehas been invited by President Trump and the executives atNASA to partner with them as the first Lion in space.

On a serious note, I'd like to thank everyone whovoted for me to become your next District Governor. I havespent a good deal of time in training sessions and retreatsand feel confident that I am ready to lead our District in2018-2019. Our Executive Committee has been an inspira-tion to me and has been advising me throughout the years.Our clubs are truly in good hands. My only regret is thatthere are no Lions in line behind me to carry on in our dis-trict. As noted before, I will be making some changes tospend some quality time with your clubs. Unfortunately, Icannot be everywhere. I may not be available to attend allthe functions I would like. I will be relying on our PastDistrict Governors to help with installations, induction ofnew members, Charter Nights and other special events.

Lastly, thank you to District Don Kaufman for every-thing he did for District 14-K in his year as Governor. Hehas worked very hard to make some new changes andideas that will point us in a new direction. As I stated pre-viously, I may have more years on DG Don as a Lion, buthe has inspired me and taught me so much more aboutLions than I knew previously. He spoke at every visitationwithout any notes because he studied what it means to bea Lion and it's in his heart. I hope I can be as articulate ashe was when speaking. He will be a hard act to follow.

Gov. Elect Karlene Laub

In Lionism,

DG Don Kaufman

Lions arerecognized for their serv-ice work, providing anopportunity for prestigeand service to the com-munity.” He added, “Oneof the biggest problems isgetting a guiding Lion.
