Issue 11 – May 2017 District Governor Jan Weatherly 10 Down 2 to Go…Finish Strong Did your club set goals to accomplish this year? Maybe you set them last spring then put them aside. Well dig them out and review your progress. Sometimes just setting goals and writing them down puts you on a course to accomplishment. That is the law of intention working to bring you opportunities to make progress even when you are not consciously thinking about action steps you many have written 10 months ago. If now you are looking at these goals, don’t despair if there is still work to be done. You still have 2 months, and we still have 2 months to reach our district goals. A key goal that is within our grasp is closing the year with 20 more Lions that we started with last July. As of today we are -12. Each month we make progress toward moving into the plus column. Here is where you come in. 1. If you have future members in the wings…bring them in now get them started when activities are high and the one time initiation cost remains at $25.00 Yes that fee goes up to $35 July 1 st . 2. If you have not inducted a new members this year, Do that now! These clubs have not added one new Centennial member this year: Lakewood Knights, Enumclaw, Puyallup, Eatonville Daybreak, Hoodsport, Roy Community, Silverdale Sunrise, Olympia Capitol City and Shelton. 3. Reach out into your community using the needs assessment survey to gather data about the needs in your community. Use this conversation to ask the person you are talking to if they have an interest in serving their community through Lions. 4. Ask everyone in your club to write down 4 people they know who would be a good Lion. Have a meeting in May where you personally invite at least one of these people to come to a meeting with you. Offer to pick them up, possibly buy them dinner and see first hand what you do. Make that meeting be filled the short spirited reports on the club’s best projects. Then ask your guest at the end of the meeting to be a Lion, using the membership brochure to introduce the question. Be sure to fill in their name in advance and the dues. Our Centennial service challenge drives our district to maintain and add new members to keep our organization vibrant and relevant into our next 100 years. Let Your Light Shine on that new Lion who will be working side by side with you this next year.

10 Down 2 to Go…Finish Strong
Did your club set goals to accomplish this year? Maybe you set them last spring then put them aside. Well dig them out and review your progress. Sometimes just setting goals and writing them down puts you on a course to accomplishment. That is the law of intention working to bring you opportunities to make progress even when you are not consciously thinking about action steps you many have written
10 months ago. If now you are looking at these goals, don’t despair if there is still work to be done. You still have 2 months, and we still have 2 months to reach our district goals.
A key goal that is within our grasp is closing the year with 20 more Lions that we started with last July. As of today we are -12. Each month we make progress toward moving into the plus column. Here is where you come in.
1. If you have future members in the wings…bring them in now get them started when activities are high and the one time initiation cost remains at $25.00 Yes that fee goes up to $35 July 1
st.
2. If you have not inducted a new members this year, Do that now! These clubs have not added one new Centennial member this year: Lakewood Knights, Enumclaw, Puyallup, Eatonville Daybreak, Hoodsport, Roy Community, Silverdale Sunrise, Olympia Capitol City and Shelton.
3. Reach out into your community using the needs assessment survey to gather data about the needs in your community. Use this conversation to ask the person you are talking to if they have an interest in serving their community through Lions.
4. Ask everyone in your club to write down 4 people they know who would be a good Lion. Have a meeting in May where you personally invite at least one of these people to come to a meeting with you. Offer to pick them up, possibly buy them dinner and see first hand what you do. Make that meeting be filled the short spirited reports on the club’s best projects. Then ask your guest at the end of the meeting to be a Lion, using the membership brochure to introduce the question. Be sure to fill in their name in advance and the dues.
Our Centennial service challenge drives our district to maintain and add new members to keep our
organization vibrant and relevant into our next 100 years. Let Your Light Shine on that new
Lion who will be working side by side with you this next year. Finish strong!!! _______________________________________________________________________________ http://www.king5.com/news/local/thousands-of-glasses-lost-on-buses-go-to-good-cause/432290 279 Copy and paste the above link to view an outstanding video about LERC by

The Magical Night
Background music; great food: plenty of liquid spirits; a pride of Lions from all over the district plus districts G and F, generous and creative club, district and multiple district donations; a vison of the legacy of the Maple Valley Lions of the past honored by the Maple Valley Lions of the future; and 20 new Lions inducted into the Maple Valley Centennial Lions Club. With District C class, our newest club celebrated with a Charter Night, April 29
th, in a style all their
own. And for the Lions with a few years under their belts, you could not help but come away with renewed passion for Lionism. You witnessed the vibrant visual, auditory and sensual experience of our future. You captured the youthful spirit, energy and enthusiasm flowing at the Cedar Lodge, to take back to your clubs. Thanks to these clubs for adding to the ambiance of this magical night: Enumclaw (host club), Auburn (who already stole their new gavel challenging them to return the visit), Fife, Sumner, Puyallup Valley, Poulsbo, Silverdale Sunrise, Port Orchard, Olympia Host, Lacey MidDay, Lacey Lamplighters, Lacey Sunrise, Tacoma Southeast, Longview Pioneer, Longview Kelso Early Birds, and Pullman. Thank you for showing the Maple Valley Centennial Lions the generosity and power of our Lions family.. And now three cheers for Haley Pendergraft, president. She leads this club, guided by two Lions, Doug Wagner, Enumclaw, and Patti Lovell, Puyallup Valley, as well as the Maple Valley Rotary with roots to the original Maple Valley Lions of 30 years ago. Her caring magnetism has attracted people of like mind to really make a difference in Maple Valley. Their membership swelled to 43 on Charter Night, with 6 guests declaring their willingness to catch the wave of making a difference through service to others. If your club wants to reach out to our newest District C club you can contact Lion Haley at 21803 SE 246
