Welcome to Lions District 105C
Haiti Earthquake Appeal
Fellow Lions,
A powerful earthquake ravished the island nation of Haiti on the evening of Tuesday, January 12. Much of the capital city of Port-au-Prince has been destroyed. It's estimated that 3 million people, nearly one-third of the country's population, has been affected by the earthquake. The casualty numbers are not known at this time, but significant loss of life is feared. Rescue efforts remain ongoing at this time.
LCIF is responding to the Haiti earthquake. We are in contact with Lions leadership in the area to assess the situation and determine immediate relief needs. A US$50,000 Major Catastrophe Grant has already been awarded to support immediate disaster relief efforts.

Past 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. |
