LIONS DISTRICT 4L4 THEWRAP

Lions....LCIF Needs Your Help

with Disaster Relief!

Everyone has seen the massive destruction caused

by Hurricanes Helene and Milton and the tornados

that accompanied them.

You can be proud to be a Lion knowing LCIF has already

sent 2 major catastrophe grants ($100,000 each)

and several emergency grants to help in the impacted

areas ...and that is just the beginning.

Not only are Lions helping to meet the immediate needs

but will assist with the recovery and rebuilding

process as well.

YOUR DONATIONS...as individual Lions and

as clubs...ARE NEEDED NOW.

So please everyone, let's do what we can.....

if you need help in just how to donate, please

don't hesitate to contact me...PDG Steve Lacey

L4 Lions,

 Take a moment to think about how you will expand your Lion knowledge and involvement. The Lions have an impressive array of learning tools if you want to expand your role in the district, or even just to better yourself as a Lion Club member. Contact me if you would like to learn more, and you can’t beat the price either!

 District meeting on Saturday November 2nd at 9:00, Chino Community Building.

o Come on everyone, let’s see some great attendance.

o And that afternoon we have a special guest at 5:00 to give us some first-hand Lion AI instructions in Costa Mesa. Food, learning on another level and more. Same presenter who filled up his training rooms at the USA/Canada forum. We’re inviting everyone.

“A plan is just a dream with a date.…what’s your dream”?
