Welcome to Lions District 105C
LCIF responds to Haiti earthquake
Dear Fellow Lions
We have all learned a lot more about the extent of the devastation in Haiti. At Lions Clubs International Foundation we have also learned more about the situation on the ground from our Fellow Lions in Haiti. Many of those Lions have been personally affected by this disaster, losing at least two club members as well as many close relatives. Yet they have put aside their own needs in order to help their community. LCIF is working non-stop with the Lions of that area to support Lions Hope for Haiti”.

Cumbria Flood disasterPast International Director Phil NathanAs I am sure all Lions are aware, Past International Director Phil Nathan, who is well known in the District, having been International Guest and a regular visitor to Convention, is the Multiple District‟s Endorsed Candidate for the office of International 2nd Vice President. To aid promoting Lion Phil in his worldwide campaign a number of items are being produced for sale. Specialist pagesThese pages deal with various health issues which are tackled locally, nationally and internationally by Lions members. Fundraising is only one aspect of tackling a problem. Lions International is organised not only to fundraise from those who are willing and able but to ensure that any aid is distributed fairly, efficently and to those most in need. In many parts of the world, health issues contribute to the poverty of the people who live there and poverty prevents them from escaping those ills. |
