CONCENTRIC SPIRIT OF COOPER TION

The Vancouver Legacy Lions Club’s (溫哥華承愛獅子會) charter application was accepted by LCI

on Nov 20th 2013.

The “Christmas Hamper “ was the first service by the club for our community to needy familiesafter supporting our District fundraising dinner for Philippines Disaster Relief in November.

The Christmas season is a good time to start thinking about helping other people. This includesproviding food, clothing, and toy's for families to enable them to experience the joy of theChristmas Season. Giving warmth, love and hope. That's what Christmas should be all about. A

time to share our good fortune with our neighbors in need across the world.Vancouver Legacy Lions Club delivered Christmas Hamper to needy families on

2nd Vice District Governor Eric Keller’s “ Talk of the Lions” :

Ladies & Gentlemen of Lions 19-A :

Love, Laughter & Joy !!

Well I certainly experienced all that over these last two weeks of 2013. Great family,

friends & Lions get-togethers, including a brilliant European Family re-union on Dec.

14 th . I cannot begin to tell you how much laughter and genuine joy we all experienced

that evening: cousins, nieces & nephews, grandchildren, long-time friends all recounting

our successful life stories and

combined experiences.

I look forward to a very positive

Lions year in 2014, a season of

re-growth, membership increases

and strong focus on community

projects, fellowship and

* service * ! Yes ~ we serve –

without reservation !!

Attached a photo of my last decadent “English” breakfast at the

Rochester Hotel in London ; it was utterly delicious ! But please don’t

show it to my cardiologist !! (Ha, ha, ha . . . ….) And a great picture of

Santa MC Cheryl & ‘moi’ at the Vancouver Diamond Lions Club

Christmas Brunch Party. That was a hilarious Gift Exchange and

fundraiser for the Richmond Food Bank Society. I also attended

Vancouver Cambie Lions Club Christmas Fundraising Dinner and took a

photo with the lovely president Lion Elsie.

HAVE A MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A PROSPEROUS 2014

Yours in Service & Fellowship,

Lion Eric R. Keller

Happy Holidays!The 2014 Northwest Lions Leadership Inst itu te is fast approaching and we still have anumber of spots to fill. We need your help to fill these last available spots.

One of the greatest feelings for many Lions, and people in general, is to be asked to be a part ofsomething they didn’t think they could do, but that someone else believed in them, and suddenly theireyes are opened . As a leader in your District, you are in touch with many great Lionseveryday. Look at the Lions around you and see the possibilities in them. Take this opportunity toapproach someone who would gain greatly from attending the Institute. That nudge from you could

be all they need to see the potential they have inside.

Invest in the future of your District! Encourage your Lions to invest in themselves by attending the 2014Leadership Institute. It’s not too late, do it today. Registration deadline is January 3, 2014.

February 6-9, 2014 in Bellevue, Washington – Visit our website at www.nwlli.org for all the details.

Zone A-2 News Highlights

Clubs in Zone A2 continue to work hard at their chosen projects whichinclude Breakfasts with Santa, Christmas tree sales and Hampers toname a few. The money raised at some of these projects will go a longway toward helping charities within our communities.

We held a very successful Zone meeting in Squamish’s unique railcarden in December. Those in attendance were given insight on a numberof topics including:

Each Club’s activities and current status.Our Zone financesThree possible Zone Projects including Guide Dogs, Special

Olympics and Pemberton’s Festival.

Our Zone RallyLCIF Adaptive Snow Sports Sit Si.Our Spring ConferenceClub Excellence ProgramBC Lions Society’s Giants Hockey gameZone Chairperson electionWooden ToysElsie Boone bursaries.

The year so far has gone very well in our Zone. Our membership is up

and there are hopes that a new club will finally be formed in EdgemontVillage in North Vancouver. Fund raising activities carried out by theclubs have resulted in approximately $68,000.00 raised to date withanother $80,000.00 expected from the various Tree lots. Manyorganizations and people have received assistance through financialdonations or services provided. All the members should feel very proudof what we do in our communities.

I want to take this time to thank everyone for the support they havegiven me and for the hard work that they do. I want to wisheveryone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year.
