We have met our Governor’s challenge to Let
our Light Shine! You have made a Difference.

Around the Zone Vision Screening Training
And Certification
Saturday June 24, Noon to 4 pm, Lions Park, Bremerton, Northwest end.
Health Screening Training - Get trained and certified so that you can participate in this new project to screen children for vision and hearing.
In addition to the importance of expanding our preschool vision screening program, the new state law provides for "...an individual trained by and conducting vision screening on behalf of a nationally recognized service organization..." to conduct screenings in our schools and reduce the workload on our school nurses significantly. Get trained, be certified, and serve our children in this vital project.
Contact PDG Dave Risley, Liaison to the NW Lions Foundation, for more information.
SEE YOU THERE!
(Chinese Dancers – not the Feng Hsiang Troupe)
Feng Hsiang Dance Troupe from Taiwan
From IPDG Al: I’m very pleased to announce that the Silverdale Sunrise Lions Club is sponsoring the Feng Hsiang Dance Troupe from Keelung City, Taiwan to visit Western Washington and participate in the Silverdale Lions Club Whaling Days Grand Parade. In cooperation with the Irene’s School of Dance and the Taiwan Ying Fong International Culture Communication Company LTD this group of young ladies will be performing in the parade, at local venues and at the Seattle Center. 25 dancers and their support team (38 total) will arrive in Seattle on July 25th to participate in events over there. At about 4 PM on July 28th they will arrive in Bremerton via the ferry for transport to Oxford Inn in Silverdale. The following day they will perform in the Whaling Days Parade. Over the weekend and on Monday they will practice and perform with Irene’s School of Dance, visit the Keyport Undersea Museum and Poulsbo Marine Science Center, and (of course) Kitsap Mall for shopping.

Zone Goal: 100% LCIF.
In order for our District to fulfill its goal of 100% of the clubs contributing to the Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF), the Zone Chair urged each of our clubs to contribute this year to LCIF. LCIF operates with very little overhead and makes signficant contributions all over the world. Some of the significant work of LCIF includes making measles vacinations available to people throughout the world, the eradication of preventable blindness worldwide, immediate response to natural disasters and much more. Take a moment to look at the LCIF.org website to see all of the good we Lions do worldwide. Four of
our six clubs have already made donations to LCIF this year.

Club Officer Training
Our District has set an ambitious goal to see that most elected officers in our clubs participate in a training program. Even if you’ve held your office before, there are changes and new information that might make your position easier or more successful this coming year. As an experienced officer, you might just have some good ideas to pass along to others.
The training schedule is attached.
