District 105C

Since my last report, the main event for me has been the Multiple District Convention in Torquay. This was a memorable event, not just for me, but for the many hundreds of Lions and partners who attended. The event was very well supported and it was great to see so many friends from 105C.
All those Past District Governors will know what I mean when I say that the “Walk In” on the Sunday morning was an experience which will live with both Joan and I for ever. It was gratifying to witness the support we received and know that in our year of office that support will continue.
When attending any convention, one of the most rewarding things is to meet up with fellow Lions and exchange experiences with them. It is also a reminder of the great organisation we are members of.

Several of our Lions Clubs have told me that they did not know what Lioness Sylvia’s Appeal is for this year, so I will remind everyone. I know many have already given their support
This year the monies raised for her appeal is going to the St James Liver Transplant Trust. The funds raised will help the trust to continue funding research, provide vital support services and also continue with public awareness.

 

Two Lives Intertwined by a Miracle

Thank you for supporting this most worthy cause.

Thirty Life Changes packs have been provided to primary schools in South Yorkshire in an initiative run by Mexborough Lions that has attracted national attention. The club has broadened the appeal by attracting corporate sponsorship from an array of businesses in Mexborough and the neighbouring towns of Swinton, Denaby and Conisbrough.

To test the effectiveness of the Life Changes messages, Mexborough Lions designed a feedback form which has borne out the value to head teachers. Mexborough Lion Sheila Venables explains that the feedback provides another use when introducing the packs to new schools.

“What we don’t want is for Life Changes books to sit on shelves,” she said. “Seeing what other teachers say has been an important way in getting the concept across. The feedback shows how each school is using the book and the ways in which each has developed something of its own unique approach".

Feedback from the schools has been illuminating. “The Life Changes book has some very useful information and is a fantastic resource,” commented one school. “It contains practical information about the way children deal with grief and is very user-friendly".

These 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.
