Special Issue for “Special MD1 Lions Family”
It was just a thought of a moment and shot one e-mail to all MD1 Governors and Council
Chair to send their District Convention material so that I can publish one 2014
District Conventions Issue. As a result, here it is – this special issue in front of your eyes. Now you know about all 12 District Conventions – when and where. Hope you all enjoy this issue as you glance through the pages one by one. Thanks for our kind support.

The Lions of the World will be descending on the
City of Chicago to celebrate their 100th Anniversary
in 2017. The Lions of Illinois, Multiple District 1
will serve as the Host Committee for the Centennial
Convention. It may sound like it is still far away,
but there is a lot to prepare for in the years leading
up to the convention.
The Centennial Convention will be June 30 - July
4, 2017. The main venue will be McCormick Place
and about 8 to 12 hotels will be used to house the
more than 25,000 attendees that are being
anticipated to attend this milestone in our
Association’s history. The International Parade is
scheduled for Saturday, July 1 and will march down
either Clark or State Street.
The Host Committee is still in need of LIONS who
are willing to be an active leader. The Host
Committee is responsible to promote the committee
activities and the convention at various functions
throughout the coming years; hosting of the visitors
during their stay in Chicago; the marshalling of the
parade and various sessions that will take place
during the convention and the fund raising to allow
for the committee to carry-out the committee
responsibilities. There are various areas that LION
Leaders are still needed to assist and be an active
member in the planning of the committee’s
activities.
Right now, we have two projects that will step off
our fund raising efforts this Spring. This
Commemorative Pin will be available to all Lions
for a $5.00 donation to the committee. Pins will be
available in later February and at all District
Conventions. The other is a banner patch that will
be given to the club that makes a direct donation to
the committee. There are three levels of donations -
$100.00, $250.00 or $500.00. Each level of
donation will have its own distinct patch.
Over the next couple of years, the Host Committee
will be presenting programs that will inform the
LIONS of ILLINOIS about the duties and
responsibilities that are needed to coordinate the
Hosting of the Centennial Convention. LION
Volunteers will be a big part of this committee with
a lot more information coming as we get closer to
the convention. If you are interested in being an
active leader on the Host Committee, you can reach
Lion Bob Block, PDG at gov8990@aol.com or by
phone (219) 671-0287 for additional information.
Remember that there is always a place for
YOU to volunteer. We’re excited to finally announce the winners for Lions Clubs International’s first ever social media photo contest held in honor of #MatteosDream. In December, we asked Lions to share photos on Facebook and Instagram that show how your club makes dreams come true. The responses were great, and choosing a winner was no easy task! - See more at: http://lionsclubs.org/blog/2014/01/27/matteosdream-photo-contest-winners/#sthash.WWFjU2ZS.dpuf
