Greetings from District Governor Sharon
January 2017 — Go Out Listen & Deliver Gold Lions Service
Welcome to 2017. I trust you all had a wonderful Christ-
mas and New Year. The second half of our Lions year
commences and this is a very important part of our year.
WE TURN 100! I trust you all have your celebrating plan-
ning well under way.
Lions District Q1 has planned a special day on March 4th.
It is a Lions Awareness Day and they have invited all
other Districts to join with them, for more information go
to their website.
Also remember we have our Multiple District convention
in Hobart in May this year. This is promising to be a won-
derful convention in a unique part of our great country.
Details are available on the Lions Australia website.
Please give some serious thought to making the trip and
experiencing the fun, fellowship and great learning oppor-
tunities.
I would ask that ALL Membership Chairpersons get onto
the LCI site and have a look in the members section at
'Invite for Impact'. You will need to register with the Li-
ons Learning Centre but it will be really worth the effort.
This is a wonderful program, while in the Lions Learning
Centre you may want to avail yourself of some of the
other fabulous Lions Learning Centre training and ideas,
how do you register? That is easy, you type in your mem-
bership number ( if you don't know this ask your Club
Secretary) and a password and you are in!
The Faculty Development Institute will be happening in
New Zealand next month. There was a lot of applicants
but limited spaces (13 for Australia). Priority was given to
Lions from Districts who are in trouble with membership,
for those Lions from N2 who did apply; they have been
placed on the reserve list as we are not a District in trou-
ble.
February is nomination month, please ensure you all read
your Constitution on how nominations and elections
SHOULD be held. This will ensure your club is acting
within the rules of our association, just because a club has
done their nominations and elections the same way for
years does not necessarily make it constitutional. In this
instance ' home rules' DO NOT apply.
If you have any questions once having read the Constitution
please contact our District Constitution and Bylaws Chair PDG
Carl von Stein who will be more than happy to provide the neces-
sary information to ensure your Club's election process is correct
and constitutional.
Has your club thought about establishing a Club Branch? You
may have a special interest group near you, such as a Quilters
Group, Craft Group or a new housing subdivision near you and
who may be interested in forming a Club Branch, you only need
5 people! If you would like more information or you would like a
workshop to explore this idea please contact PDG Ron Skeen or
your Area Coordinator for further information.
Let's start this second half of our Lions year with inducting 100
new Lions to help us celebrate our 100 years.
Yours in Lionism
DG Sharon
