DISTRICT 14-D DETAILS PA LIONS DISTRCT 14D NEWSLETTER November 2014 Www.lionsdistrict14.org THOUGHTS FROM DISTRICT GOVERNOR DEB Lions, Lionesses, and Leos, By the time you read this the region rallies will be history. I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to all the Region and Zone chairpersons that worked so hard to make these events successful and fun for everyone. Many deserving Lions received recognition for their hard work and we all certainly enjoyed much good food and fellowship during the rallies. UPCOMING EVENTS Nov 1st Oyster, Shrimp, Fish & Ham As we head into November, we all look forward to the coming of Thanksgiving. For me this is a time of counting my blessings and for giving to those that are in need. Were it not for the generosity of our Lions, Lionesses, and Leos many would go hungry at this time of the year. If you are looking for something meaningful to do in the month of November, consider holding a food drive or supporting your local food bank. Maybe volunteering at a community Thanksgiving dinner would be something your club is interested in doing. Whatever you choose it will make a difference in the life of someone less fortunate than yourself and what a great feeling it is to put a little sunshine into someone’s life.

Lioness you have started the year off with a bang! I see your year being very successful Good luck to all clubs. Lioness C. PDG Joan Rohrbach Message from your VDG-Kathy Ridder November GREETINGS LIONS, LIONESS & LEOS!! The Rally’s are history, congratulations to all deserving Lions who have been given awards. The next event on the agenda is the Nov. 16 Cabinet Meeting. All Lions are welcome at any or all Cabinet Meetings; I’d love to see you there. At the time that I wrote this I was having a “chill out” Sunday, reading, watching TV, dozing! In between naps I found a movie, “Battleship” which had the U.S. Navy vs. Aliens in an all out war in of all places Hawaii. I hope that isn’t a sign of things to come when I head there for the International Convention. Next I watched “Prospectors”, finding fabulous gems in the hills of Colorado. As I was surfing the channels I found “Bulls on the Beach”, competition bull riding leading up to the PBR Finals in Las Vegas which happens in late October. Of course I ended the day with watching football. Peyton Manning tied Brett Favre’s record of touchdown passes of 509!! Now you know some of my interests, perhaps you have some of the same. In relationship to our Lions connection, are we all on the same page in serving those less fortunate while putting effort into increasing our numbers? Each month I notice on the MMR’s that clubs lose a member here, lose 2 there. This in not a good thing. District 14D has been known as one of the best in the State & when I say District, I’m not talking about the Cabinet. We are all the District, Lancaster & Lebanon Counties, working together for a common goal, to serve & to interest others to help in the effort. The Region & Zone Chairpersons are there to serve the Clubs of the District as are the many Committee Chairpersons who are eager to share their knowledge on their particular expertise. I look at the Cabinet as something to put in a tool box, using them to build a better Club, using them to answer questions, help solve a problem. Oftentimes someone viewing something from the outside can see a different slant on things. As Clubs are there to serve their communities the Cabinet is there to serve the Clubs on the journey we have all made a commitment to travel, together! The May State Convention will be here in a flash. Notices will soon be going out Statewide. Plan to register; a whopping cost of $12.50 gets you into seminars, Hospitality Night, the State Band concert, ya gotta hear them!! The Convention Display has been circulating at all the Rally’s & other events. Get to know what is happening & get involved! I’m wishing all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving with family & friends. Remember, there is always, always something to be thankful for. I’m thankful for the U.S. Navy; they sure wiped up the floor with those Aliens!! Yours in Lionism, 1st VDG Kathy Ridder “Strengthen the Pride” Notes and Hints from your Global Leadership Team The Club Excellence Process (CEP). Has your Club considered the Club Excellence Process? Building s successful Lions or Lioness Club is a process, and it begins with the Club Excellence Process. CEP is a fun, interactive workshop that brings members together to talk about what your club is today and what it will be tomorrow. It gives your club the tools to energize your service, enhance member satisfaction and set goals to keep your club on track for continued growth. We have 8 clubs in our District that have completed the CEP process and all are becoming better clubs. We also have 4 clubs that are going though the process at the time of this message. CEP gives your club to opportunity to celebrate your club’s accomplishments and discuss what it can accomplish in the future. It will also identify unmet community needs. Whether your clubs feels it needs assistance to grow or meet the needs of your community or your club feels it is a good club and would like to become either a better club or an excellent club, the Club Excellence Process would be a great benefit to assure successes in the future.

You can be part of this event! WARWICK HIGH SCHOOL WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2015 6:30PM DISTRICT 14-D LEO’S will be hosting the Harlem Ambassadors for a special comedy basketball event. This is an event families can enjoy together... laughter, comedy, slam dunks, high-flying hoops... all for a good cause. And you can be part of it! All funds raised from this event will go to VisionCorps and Lebanon Sight Committee. "As I looked out at our huge crowd, I saw big smiles and lots of laughing by young and old alike. Whole families were having such a great time together; they didn't want the game to end." Offering a unique brand of Harlem-style basketball featuring high-flying slam dunks, dazzling ball-handling tricks and hilarious comedy routines, the Harlem Ambassadors are a team of talented male and female basketball players that are drug-free, collegeeducated and positive in appearance. They are committed to giving their audience quality family entertainment and serving as positive role models for kids. A team of local celebrities -- men and women from our community -- will play against the Harlem Ambassadors and be part of the comedy. Everyone will meet the Ambassadors after the game during a complimentary autograph session. Lions are a service organization and our motto is “We serve”. We have been called to be “Knights of the Blind” from Helen Keller and we do that by providing support financially and volunteering with blind/vision impaired persons as well as our community. We are proud to announce that our Leos (middle & high school students) also serve in the same capacity and are overseeing this event. This event will specifically impact this age group and they are our future. "The standing-room-only crowd not only saw some of the greatest basketball in America, they also were witness to some of the funniest comedy routines around . . . . The final score? The Harlem Ambassadors won . . . over the citizens of Franklin County and impacted a lot of lives, young and old alike. Those of us who came and saw and played and danced and laughed 'til we cried, may never be the same again. And that's a good thing." Bob Salmon The Herald Chronicle “We are proud to provide quality entertainment and lasting memories for audiences of all ages,” said Dale Moss, Harlem Ambassadors president. “It’s rewarding to give back, especially when the funds generated help build a house for Habitat for Humanity or buy computers for the school library. Please consider helping your community by becoming a sponsor of this event.” Yes! I would like to sponsor this event.
