PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Thank you to those who attended the District
Governor’s visit on Tuesday 16th
. I hope you all
enjoyed yourselves and it was good to have a joint
meeting with Noosa Heads, a club that we
sponsored.
We had Paul as Chairman for the night and he did
a great job. I am thinking of, for a change, appointing a chair person from time
to time at our dinner meetings. If anyone is keen to give it a go let me know. You
would sit at the head table and have guidance from Sheila and myself.
We have had a busy start to the year with the Good Shepherd Lutheran College
Fete, a chip van clean {with morning tea provided by Gary} and a Bunning
Sizzle.
I thank all those members who volunteer for these events especially the newer
members of the club.
Our first social night will be at Zacharys on Gympie Terrace on 31/8 eating all
the pizza you can eat for $17.
26th
of August will see us at the Eumundi School Fete, 14th
of September at the
Tewantin State School Fete and on the 18th
September we will be giving
Sunshine Butterflies a hand with a breakfast before a fund-raising bike ride.
The breakfasts at the Tewantin State School and Noosaville State School are still
proceeding and any assistance from members would be appreciated. Remember
to bring along to our dinner meetings donations to the school chaplains pantry
such as 1 minute noodles and anything else non perishable.
Due to our large membership we always seem to have someone away. As I write
this Ian and Sheila are cruising the Kimberleys, Peter and Dagmar have gone to
Europe, Paul is off to Cairns and a little birdie tells me that Bill and Louise are
of in a few weeks in their van. Jan is off to the States. Alison and I will be going
North West Queensland via Townsville for most of September and part of
October.
As one lot goes others return...welcome back Geoff and Carolanne and
Rosemary.
A very warm welcome to Jan, John and Craig following their induction by the
District Governor on Tuesday night.
It is very sad to see Lesley, Greg, Amy and Ezekiel leave the club due to work
commitments and they would be very welcome back if the circumstances allow.
On another note Gus and Helen are in the process of moving to Morayfield. The
best of wishes go from the club. Gus has been an integral part of the club and his
work as Secretary’s position was much appreciated. Hopefully we will see them
at a dinner meeting before they depart. Gus will remain a member of our club
until he settles on a Club where he is going to.
Happy birthday to Gus, David K. Kath Mckay. Michael Roach and Phil for
September.
Our District Convention is to be held at Pacific Paradise State School on
October 28th
, 29th
and 30th
. If you haven’t been to a convention now is your
chance with it being so close. There will be registration forms sent out to
members later in the week.
Keep up the good work and thank you for your support.
David Watt
Lions International President
Dear Lion,
As we approach our Centennial in 2017, we have so much to celebrate. This
once-in-a-lifetime event commemorates not just our association, but every
Lion and club who has made a difference in the world. No matter where you
are, there’s an opportunity for each and every Lion to join the celebration.
I encourage you to join the Celebration by supporting our three
signature programs:
Lead through service by hosting youth, vision, hunger and environmental projects to help
us reach our Centennial Service Challenge goal of helping 100+ million people. Set a
goal of hosting at least 1 service project for each.
Invite for impact by asking family, friends and neighbors to serve with you as Lions, and
you’ll earn recognition in the Centennial Celebration Membership Awards. Set a goal
of adding 3 new members.
Connect with community by planning a Legacy Project that commemorates the
Centennial and provides a lasting gift to your community.
Let’s work together to show the world that where there’s a need, there’s a
Lion!
Very truly yours,
Chancellor Bob Corlew
Your International President

Why join Lions? Continued from July Pelican Brief.
11 * Entertainment. Lions Clubs organise many different activities that provide entertainment as well as education.
12 * The development of social skills. Lions is for people who like people. Through projects, events and meetings, Lions helps to develop social and peoples skills.
13 * Where ever there is a need, you’ll find Lions there, actively involved in getting the job done. Always ready to roll up the sleeves and find a solution. No job is to big or to small.
14 * Family Programmes. Lions has a range of programmes for our youth—Leo clubs, Youth exchange and hosting, the Youth of the Year Quest, the Lions-Quest skills programmes that involve the family.
15 * The Development of ethics. All Lions Clubs embrace the same set of ethics. Lions are expected to be ethical in business and personal relationships.
16 *Cultural awareness. Around the world, practically every religion, country, culture, race, creed, political persuasion, language, colour and ethnic identity is found in Lions. It is a cross section of citizens from every back ground. Lions become aware of other cultures and learn to love and work with people everywhere. It is truely an International organisation.
17 * A wide range of programmes providing help for disadvantaged both locally and Internationally- Sight First – a worldwide programme to eradicate preventable blindness, Hearing dogs for the deaf, provision of mobility aids for children, to name but a few.
18 * Nice people. Lions above all are nice people, who genuinely want to give their time, labour and means to assist others, and have a lot of fun while they are doing it.
19 * Lions has no secrete handshake, no secret policy, no official creed, no secret meetings or rituals. It is open society – of men and women who simply believe in helping others.
20 * The opportunity to serve. Lions is a service club. This is the best reason for becoming a Lion: The chance to do as a group we cannot hope to achieve
on our own, to serve our fellow man, and to make the world a better place. Our motto is simple, but it says it all. “ We Serve”.
Report from Membership Chair Di Cooke
Hi Everyone
In my new role as membership officer I hope that I can be of
assistance to anyone wishing to join and steer them in the
right direction.
Last month saw 3 new members inducted by our new DG they
were Jan Olssen,Craig Morrison and John Pritchard.
We welcome them and look forward to a great relationship in
Lions as well as social.
I am in the process of looking into our Club shirts being
sourced cheaper and also for anyone who wishes to have a
dressier shirt I have found some suitable.
I will be bringing a shirt to our next meeting.
We have had 4 members resign this month due to work
commitments we wish them well and hope that if they ever
want to be a Lion again they come back to us.
Remember Ask One is our motto .
Thanks Everyone
