Howdy L4 Lions,

It’s pretty awesome when a plan comes together. Looking from the outside in, it all seems to look so easy, but what doesn’t show through the two-way looking glass is the blood, sweat and tears it took

to make it LOOK so effortless. So goes the way of the projects in place now that the district wants to accomplish.

Starting a new Westminster club and an Irvine club, well they are in the works. I’m excited for new clubs, bringing Lions to communities where we are needed. Mostly, however, we need to keep our eyes on the prize, and that’s SERVICE. We can work together sharing whatever time we can, to help the team in place make these dreams become reality. If you can help with a “boots on the ground effort” in either city, YOU can help.

I am excited and ready to work. If you want to be inside of the looking glass, give Kurt Bensworth a call. 949-872-8153. He has our strike team poised to do great things.

I LOVE being a Lion in 4L4 !

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

Lions of District 4L4,



The Student Speaker Contest is 87 years old. The Foundation has been providing Scholarships to the winners of the District, Area and Final contest for over 60 years.

This year $99,000 will be given away to the students. Each of the 14 District are asked to raise $7,100

I would like to ask each District 4L4 club to consider the Student Speaker Foundation when your clubs decide what organization to provide donations to. As individuals please think about the foundation.

There are 4 Fellowships they are $200 Harry J Aslan, $300 Dwight Stanford, $400 Don Snyder $500 Fred W Smith - You can honor a member of your club with one of these fellowships.

If your club can’t afford a Fellowship no amount is too small. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

At the upcoming Region, District and Area Contest I will be selling raffle tickets for $1 each which will entitle you for a chance to win one of the Fellowships.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

A New Challenge From LCIF

For the Clubs of District 4L4

Lions and clubs of District 4L4….

our overall LCIF giving level is great!

Now let’s go one step further

and become a 100% District.

To do that…ALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN

is for each club in the district to make a donation

to LCIF.

And get this, the amount that must be given? $20 minimum.

That’s right, $20!

Of course, your club could give $50, $100, or $1000

if they like, but $20 is what we need.

There are still nine (9) clubs in our district

that we need a donation from.

Can you please talk to your boards and club members

and make this happen?

Need more details: Lion PDG Steve Lacey sllacey54@gmail.com

Fellow Lions,

I am pleased to announce that Lions Day at the City of Hope is coming back! Please mark your calendars for May 19th. The event starts at 11:30 and wraps up after lunch. The event is free to all, and includes tours and lectures on the latest research from the hospital staff. If you plan to attend, you absolutely need to RSVP, or you won't be able to attend the luncheon. Please contact Cindy Robinson via email or phone. Her contact information is at the bottom of the flyer. It is also an opportunity for each club to present a cash donation to the City of Hope and receive recognition. The amount is up to each club and is voluntary. This is the first time since covid the City of Hope has put this on, so let's have a great turnout!
