Good day Lions…and yes, I am Pastor District Governor

Steve Lacey and it is my honor to serve as our

LCIF District Coordinator.


Who does what you might ask? My job is to reach out

to our clubs and individual Lions and educate them about

what is we do through the funds raised for the Lions Club

International Foundation. It is hoped by so doing, I can

help motivate them to give generously to LCIF which

can then fund service projects locally, nationally and

around the world.


Our District can be proud that we are already one of

the strongest giving districts in the entire Constitutional

area (United States and the Bahamas). In fact, last

year LCIF set a goal for us to raise $31,185 but we came

nowhere near that amount, instead, we raised

$61,546 (or 197% of our goal)!


We hope to do the same this year…as we hope too once

again be a 100% District (every club having donated

to LCIF), inspire some clubs to be 100% clubs, talk to

individuals about what Legacy gifts are, AND OF COURSE

DON’T LET ME FORGET TO MENTION THIS…

speak on making donations to LCIF to gain Melvin Jones

Fellowships and Progressives for your deserving club

Members.



Any questions you have about LCIF…please don’t hesitate

to contact me by phone, 909 921-6560 or e-mail


You May Not Realize It…

But The Time Is NOW!



‘Now’…that is, if you are planning to give out

either a Melvin Jones Fellowship or a Progressive

MJF between now and the January MJF Luncheon.


That is because of difficulties that resulted from

the new Lion technology system, the time frame

for sending in your donations, having them

credited to your account and then processing

your plaque and pin, has now become months

rather than weeks!


So do some thinking….and look ahead to see who

you want to recognize or honor in this special

way.


If you need help on just how to do that…or to

learn what your personal or club LCIF balance

is, just contact me, and I will do all that I

can to help.



With a Spirit to Serve,

Lion PDG Steve Lacey,

LCIF District Coordinator

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for (audience)? Why should they care (benefit)? What do I want them to do (call-to-action)?


Create a great offer by adding words like "free," "personalized," "complimentary," or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take action, so consider inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
