Welcome to Lions District 105C
DG's February report
Hello Lions, Lionesses, Leos & Friends,1st VDG's February report
2nd VDG's NewsAt the District 105C Convention in February, I will be nominated as Vice District Governor elect for the year 2012 – 2013, and as not everyone will be attending the convention I thought it would be appropriate to give some information and thoughts about myself and where I see the district now and in the future. I am a grass roots Lion and am a big believer in action rather than words. Anyone who knows me or has worked with me will know that I am a dedicated Lion who is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and get on with the job. Having visited some zones during the year, I hope to have visited all of them before the end of this Lionistic Year. 2012 Convention programmeKassam newsletterA Happy New Year to all fellow Lions in District 1O5C. Our wishes also go out to our friends in Kassam, Ghana who have had to face considerable adversity since the last newsletter. It is only now becoming possible to contemplate resuming our works at the Kassam Methodist Junior High School. This first newsletter of the year is necessarily short but happily confirms the good work done to date. The last newsletter was issued at the end of the 2010-11 Lionistic year and summed up an excellent years work on our District Project. Work on site necessarily gave way to the regular harvest and rainy season as expected.

Lions Clubs InternationalMore Volunteers Doing More Community Work in More Places than Any Other Service Club OrganizationWhen it comes to meeting challenges, the Lions response is simple: “We serve”. In 206 countries, in hospitals and senior centres, in regions battered by natural disaster, in schools and eyeglass recycling centres, Lions are doing community volunteer work, helping, leading, planning and supporting. Because we're local, we can serve the unique needs of the communities we live in. And because we're global, we can address any challenges that go beyond borders. District Governors Partners AppealThis year my District Governors Partner's appeal is for the Spinal unit at Pinderfields Hospital As some of you know, I work at Pinderfields, albeit within a different speciality and felt it would be nice to have a charity close to home. The Spinal Unit accepts patients from a large part of the North of England, which includes the whole of our District. The Spinal Unit Recreational Fund or S.U.R.F. is a new group formed by volunteers, whom at some time have been associated with the spinal unit in one way or another, either as a patient or a nurse. They receive no money from the Government or the hospital and rely on fundraising; this means a lot of fundraising.
Calling Marketeers and Sales People1 November 2011 Past District Governor Eric Wright has opened a loose grouping for 'ideas men and women' and invites all those with marketing, sales and promotional experience to contribute suggestions. 2012 District Convention Booking formLions Environmental Photo Contest
The Lions Environmental Photo Contest provides a way for Lions to portray, through an original photo, their pride and commitment to improving, protecting and preserving their environment.
Every Lion from a club in good standing can enter a photograph of his or her immediate surroundings into the club-level Lions Environmental Photo Contest. Signature Projects
Do you want to increase your membership? The Signature Projects are part of a key membership drive! Past International Director Phil Nathan explains – "Our Signature on Our Community" Signature projects are not a new idea but they can easily be a legacy. Back in 2002 then International President K K Fukushima encouraged clubs to put a "stamp" on their community by doing something that everyone would recognise as a Lions "stamp". In MD105 we have so many varying "stamps"; it may be a Lions emblem made from flower bulbs planted in the local park or something as amazing as a hospice. No matter how big or small, many of our clubs have left their signature on their community. District officersDistrict officers' contact information Click on this link to see this information - a new page will open 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.
