Southern California Wildfires


Everyone is aware of the massive destruction being caused by the So. California fires….thousands of homes lost, tens of thousands of people displaced.
As a result:  A special over-and-above offering to LCIF: Disaster Relief is needed now!
District Governor Scott has asked that at the upcoming District Meeting in La Habra, on Saturday, January 25th that we do a Parade of Givers.  At that time, all clubs which are able, will come forward with their donation checks, announce which club they are from, give a couple of sentences of support and present their offering.
After the clubs have given, individuals will be given the chance as well to come forward.
 
Our Goal Is Raising $5000 from District 4L4!
 
We realize that you may have to phone/e-mail your board to present a proposal to them for supporting this cause: Please do so.
It is time for us to come to join hands with Lions from all across the world (Lions from Germany are now putting together a fundraising campaign for this need!)
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact DG Scott Quinlan at 714-200-3964 or our LCIF District Coordinator, PDG Steve Lacey (909 921-6560 or sllacey54@gmail.com)

DG Scott is in touch with the District Governors in the areas hit by these fires and MD4 is putting a plan together to help support. Details will be out soon how you can help!

L4 Lions,


GREAT job 4L4 in delivering 1,000 Military Bags to Camp Pendleton and two other bases around 4L4 in December!


Our southland’s safety has been challenged this past week with wildfires and high winds unlike what we have experienced in DECADES! This time, thousands of structures have been lost; homes, families’ lives and memories gone. If you have been spared, be grateful. If you have been affected, your Lion family grieves with you.


Remember, where there’s a need, there’s a LION. That is not just a catch phrase, but a way of life we have embraced. We can be certain that LCIF (Lion International Foundation) and CLF (California Lions Foundation) have already allocated grant money to support immediate needs and long term

recovery in California. What really matters though, is the boots on the ground efforts all around affected areas by Lions members. “WE SERVE”.



Please serve, volunteer, donate and pray for all our neighbors out there.



In Lionism,

1st VDG Roger
