Hello District 4l4 Lions,


Amazingly, how quickly time has flown by and here we sit at the end of October. I would just like to bring to your attention that we need everybody to RSVP for the November 2nd District

membership meeting so we have enough food for all.


We have military bags so please reach out to District Secretary Lion Diane to purchase your bags so we can bring a bit of home

for our military that are away from their families, these goodies just bring a heartfelt thank you to our Military. If you would like to take this a step further then ask your friends and family to

sponsor a bag or two so we can add to our bag count. As a veteran I can remember when we received care packages and it is a welcomed treat.


January is quickly approaching so do not forget if you are participating in the Melvin Jones lunch please have your club order their Melvin Jones Awards very soon. It takes a while for LCI to get the awards to the clubs. If you need guidance then give our LCIF Chairman Lion Steve Lacey a call.


Speaking of January, the Lions have been tasked with helping

decorate all floats in the barn in Irwindale. This is a great way to bring your friends and family out to introduce them to what we the Lions do while having fun.


Lastly, we are working on starting a couple of new clubs in the district and we are in need of guiding Lions, But as of today we have no certified guiding Lions. So we are calling all interested Lions that enjoy working and teaching others about Lionism to head over to the guiding lions online training at this link to go through the training and then take a short quiz. When you pass the quiz you will be one of the district’s guiding Lions.


Here is the link:

https://www.lionsclubs.org/en/resources-for-members/resource-center/guiding-lion-program


After passing the quiz please reach out to District Secretary Lion Diane and let her know you have passed the quiz and you will be added to the list of Guiding Lions.


Thanks to all the clubs that we have visited, as the district executive team are enjoying all the visitations that we have completed and we look forward to coming to the other clubs in the near future.


Yours in Lionism


Lion DG Scotty and Irish
