As we begin the ‘Second Century’ of Lionism, I am HAPPY, HUMBLE, EXCITED and very PROUD to be the District Gover-nor for District 19-I. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to ‘SERVE’ along with each of you, and ‘Together’ we can help the less fortunate.

Service is why the Lions Clubs exist. We exist to serve those who are less fortunate than we are. Every day throughout the world Lions are working to improve the lives of thousands of people. We help feed the hungry, those in need of eyeglasses, those who are confined to wheelchairs, and many, many other situations; we help everyone we can, in any way we can!

We start by assisting the needy in our own communities and then we branch out to service the world. We should be extremely proud to be part of this family of LIONS!!!!

We must realize also that we are not enough members to help everyone so we must continue to grow. That is why the emphases is put on getting new members. We need more members who care about those who are in need. We can start out by helping other members of our Lions family, who are in need. This method of Lions helping Lions will bring us all closer together and will make our Clubs stronger. Be part of the Lions family and help wherever we are needed.

Thank you all for what you have accomplished in the First Centu-ry of Lionism. Do not let your ‘light’ go out.....let’s get a good start on the Second Century of Lionism!

All this for $190 for “two to a room” or $160 for “four to a room”. Only 54 seats will be sold and they are selling fast. So come on out and

support a great cause for some great kids, and have a fun night away.

Lions Clubs International Foundation

CHAIRPERSONDr. Jitsuhiro Yamada

The End of a

Milestone Year

Dear Lions,

Throughout my year as Chairperson of Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), I have witnessed the wonderful projects Lions are carry-ing out all over the world with the support of our foundation. I visited a community grateful for the opportunity to rebuild after an earthquake. I saw relief on the faces of refugee families receiv-ing care from Lions. I celebrated with children around the world who are being empowered by LCIF. I met Special Olympics athletes who shined while showing the world their talents. I saw communities transform after being provided clean water.

Thank you, Lions, for your support of LCIF. We are able to do great things when we work together. I also want to thank the Lions leaders who are working hard to educate Lions about LCIF and promote a relationship between LCIF and our clubs.

Let’s continue to spread the word of the great work LCIF is accomplishing, including the US$1 billion in grants we have awarded since our founding. Our foundation is depending on your support to continue its vital mission.


We’re 1,445,591

Lions strong—and counting!

By Chancellor Bob CorlewInternational President

Dear Fellow Lions,June 19, 2017, I am pleased to announce that we just

surpassed our all-time membership record of 1,445,591 Lions!

I want to thank each and every one of you for your dedication to changing lives and growing our association’s humanitarian impact over the past year. Thanks to you, we are positioned to enter our second century of service stron-ger than ever before. Thanks to you, Lions Clubs are serving in more communities around the world. And thanks to you, we are helping more people than ever before.

Thank you for helping Lions reach new heights!

MAYNE ISLANDLions Club

By PDG Alan Guy

Mayne Island Lions have just completed the installation of a triple flagpole at our “down-town” park. This structure will allow for the

Maple leaf, the B.C. flag to fly there all the time, while the third pole will be a sort of Rent-a-Pole, available for Island groups to fly their flag at significant times or events for them. When no other group needs the pole, it will carry a Lions flag.

When all three poles are in use, will try to get a photo with perhaps some of the installers and builders.

CLALLAM BAY/SEKIU Lions ClubBy Lion ZC Maureen Winn

We just had our final meeting for this Lions year—a picnic/BBQ. New officers were in-stalled by me (Zone Chair Maureen Winn).

We have a big fundraiser coming up the sec-ond weekend of July—Clallam Bay/Sekiu Fun Days BBQ. Our Club grills hamburgers and hot dogs for the weekend of fun.

My Club honored me with “Lion of the Year” award (a total surprise to me!) at this last meeting.


LADYSMITH Lions ClubHelping Ladysmith BC keep our Guiness World Record

for most playing Street Hockey... we held the record and 10 years later on June 4th, 2017we qualified to KEEP the winning WORLD RECORD!

To qualify as a team you had to have minumum of eight players and the Ladysmith Lions Club stepped up to the net and played two games, 15 minutes each.

We lost 31 to 1 first round but after lunch and a break, with the next team we lost only 16 to 8, so kept our heads high.The MC announcer said the Number 1 Rule was to have fun, and WE DID!

We posed quite calmly before the games with a Nanaimo mascot.L-R: LionsSheila GrantJim Masyk(Stony) Grant StonehouseTed WalkerMascotBetty Anne HerbertJohn ShephardEric MahWayne Switzer(Missing is team playerLia Versaevel)

Lion Stoney Stonehouse was well organized and made mega bags of popcorn.

Lions John Shephard and Alex Garvin took the money and handed over the food order tickets to present to the cooks.Lions Eric Mah and Jim Masyk were the busy cooks.

COMOX VALLY MONARCHLions Club

By Lion Cathy Specht, Secretarywww.e-clubhouse.org/sites/comoxvmwww.911reflectivesign.ca

As in several previous years, in preparation for Canada Day, our Club took the Lions Proj-ect Pride to the Grade 1 students in the local Schools in June. Always a great experience sharing information about Canada and providing all with a Canadian Flag but in particular this year as we celebrate Canada’s 150th Birthday!

Pictured is the team from one of the days: Lions Ron, Gerd, and Gary along with an RCMP officer who accompanied the Lions to the schools to explain some of the history of the RCMP.

In April, May & June our Lions Club provided SPOT Vision Screening to all the grade 2 & 4 students in the Comox Valley. We screened 1,178 students and 66 of them required a referral to an Optometrist for further assessment. It was an honour for our Club to be able to provide this service and we look forward to doing this all over again next school year.

Pictured on the left are Lions Ron, Chris & Doug just prior to the start of the first school to be screened, Arden Elementary.

We were too busy screen-ing to take any further pictures.

COMOX VALLEYLions ClubBy Lion Bob Scales

On June 3rd seven members of the Comox Valley Lions Club made the three hour trip to Port McNeill to join that Club in the celebra-tion of their 50th Charter Anniversary. We were impressed with the amount of fundraising and

projects this Club in a smaller community has accomplished in those 50 years and we tip our Lions Hat to them!!

Past Council Chair Al Beddows shared the Club history. We would like to have been there when they relocated what is now their Lions Hall to the current location.

President Bob took this picture of Lions Teona, Nancy, Shelley, Patty, DGE Joyce and Terri in front of the Port McNeill banner. We wish the Club another very successful 50 years.

On June 6th the Comox Valley Lions Club installed their Exec-utive for 2017-2018 and welcomed our newest member, Leona Murray, into the World of Lions. Here is the sponsor, Lion Teona,

new Lion Leona and PDG Steve who inducted our new member. Welcome to our Lions Club Leona, who has already been busy working our Bingos on a regular basis!

On Saturday June 24, the Comox Valley Lions Club hosted a community garage sale at our Lions Den for the residents

of the two Lions Senior Housing Buildings. We had nine tables with a variety of merchan-dise with all vendors reporting good sales and their thanks for our providing this service.

BLACK CREEKLions Club

On June 17th members of the Black Creek Lions Club, along with CVLC President Bob, removed lawn and vegetation next to Quadra Gardens. The 29 unit Quadra Gardens is one of two properties operated by

D’Esterre Senior Citizens Housing Society (a project of Black Creek Lions, CV Monarch Lions & CVLC ) which provides 45 units of housing to Low Income Seniors in Comox. The next step is the installation of a weed barrier and the area will be loaded with rock, making maintenance easier. Thanks to J.R. Edgett Excavating Ltd. (http://jredgettexcavating.ca/) for use of the exca-vator, gravel truck and driver. In the group photo are Black Creek

Lions Terry, Dave M. Marty, Marmie, Shannon, and Dave S. Great job guys!

By the way, the chainsaw that Black Creek President Terry was using was not running for this picture taking as we did not want him cutting off his foot!


ESQUIMALTLions Club

by PZC Lion Gerry Webb

The Esquimalt Lions again hosted a Pancake Breakfast to kick off the 2017 Esquimalt Buccaneer Days celebration at the Archie Browning Centre last May.

The Esquimalt Lions participated this year in the 2017 Oak Bay Tea Party in June. It was a very pleasant day by the water and was well turned out. Although this is not normally our “turf ”, we very much enjoyed assisting with this event. The well attended Tea Party was enjoyed by all!

66th Installationof Officers

The Esquimalt Lions Club celebrated their 66th Installation of Officers in the Curling Lounge of the Archie Browning Centre on June 20, 2017. The “soupy” installation was conducted by PZC Jane Beddows, ably assisted by her husband, PCC Al. It was a great evening and an enjoyable time was had by all who attended. The event was catered by 1550s Pub Restaurant of Victoria and, as always, the meal was excellent.

Many awards and recognitions were handed out during the evening. However, one that

particularly stands out is Lion of the Year. It is particularly

significant since it is given by your peers in the Club to show their respect and admiration for the recipient as a person

and as a Lion. Presented by ZC Brian Morin,

the year’s recipient is our re-elected Club Treasurer,

PZC Bob McKie. CONGRATULATIONS

BOB!

After two years in the chair, our Queen Lion President Lin McPhee has passed the mantle of Club CEO on to her successor. Thank you for your two years of CEO service Lin!

Our new King Lion, President Mark Pownall is chomping at the bit to begin earning his 5-figure income as Club CEO - all in zeros of course!

ZONE 4 had a picnic!and many members from each of the 7 Clubs attended!

Incoming Zone Chair Betty Anne Herbert, Lion Wayne Switzer and Leslee Banks organized this event!Lions from C to Sea, Cedar, Cowichan Lake, Duncan, Ladysmith, Malalat and Mill Bay Clubs came to play!

We chatted, we played games, we ate, and we shared and enjoyed each other.Each Club contributed to the food and activities, the sun shone and we had a great time together.

There were Lions who just relaxed enjoying each other, and there were Lions who got out in the sun and the back woods and played Whacky Golf! What a hoot... loads of fun! Special thanks to Duncan Lions Lyn and Leo for organizing the game.

Lion Julie Stevens, president of the C to Sea Lion giving Incoming Zone Chair

Betty Anne a hug. Julie made a cake topped with glazed fruit! Beautiful AND delicous!

Eleven of the Whacky Golf Pros!

We ate hamburgers, hot dogs, popcorn, salads galore, junk food, cookies, cake, and drank

water and pop to help stay cool on a very warm Sunday afternoon!

Even DG Alan Guy and wife Janet, joined in and had a good time too!

MILL BAYLions Club

By Lion Sylvia Riehl

We have just completed our Walter Hall Memorial Family Fishing Derby that we co-hosted with the Mala-hat Legion #134. All went

well and people had a great time. Lots of fish weighed in, lots of burgers eaten, and lots of prizes won too.

We are now gearing up to cohost the July 1 Canada Day pancake breakfast again with the Malahat Legion. It will be held in the picnic area at the back of the Legion with the Hearty Mill Bay Lions cooking up a storm. Everyone welcome from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and cost is $6.00 for the pancake and sausage breaky with juice or coffee. Hope to see you there! It will be held at the Royal Canadian Malahat Legion at 1625 Shawnigan Mill Bay Rd.
