JUNE 2017
SD LIONS 5SE NEWSLETTER
Greetings Lions of 5SE,
As I start my last month as District Governor, I have to reminisce about all the generous and giving people I have met as I visited the 48 clubs. Each club has their own special style of running their club, from all men clubs, couples club and mixed clubs.
Each fulfills the Lions motto, “We Serve” in their own way. I want to thank each and every club for the warm welcome that Lion Lori and I received as we visited you. We have learned more from you than you can imagine over this past year.
I have tried my best to represent Dis-trict 5 SE in the Multi-District cabinet. There were a few occasions where I had to stand up and present concerns of our District. I believe, if we ad-
dress these concerns, it will help us in the future.
We started the year with 1383 mem-bers in 5SE and have dropped 148 members, 31 from death, leaving us at this time with 1332. I continue trying to get a new club started.
On June 21st we are going to have an informational meeting in Webster. Zone 2 Chairman Carl VanVoorst has been giving us a lot of help with Web-ster and is also working with the Rosholt Club. I have asked the GLT’s and GMT’s and Vice Governors to help get the membership back to at least
break even. If each of our clubs get at least one new member we will be back to even.
In the newsletter, you will see pictures from the MD 5 Convention along with a short overview of the convention. There was a nice turn out of clubs rep-resented in floats in the parade on Saturday morning.
PDG Pat Vannett was elected as a candidate for International Director at the International Convention in Chica-go.
Congratulation to PDG Joan Marlette for receiving the Presidential Award presented to her by LCI 1st VP Naresh Aggarwal. It is well deserved for the
outstanding work she did as the Dis-trict Administrator.
Congratulations to the Watertown Li-ons Club for being the 5SE Club of the Year and to the Brandon Lions Club for being the 5SE and Multi-District 5 Scrapbook of the year winner. Also PDG Ray Schley submitted the 5SE and Multi-District 5 Environmental winning photo.
Congratulations to DG Terry Peterson for being elected Council Chair for 2017-2018. I want to wish DGE Neil Bowes a great year.
This is the last Newsletter issue that
Lion Sunshine Cady will be publishing. We want to thank you, Sunshine, for your many years of wonderful News-letters and wish you well.
Lion Lori and I will be attending the Lion International Convention in Chi-cago. We have a good representation of Lions for 5 SE going to the Conven-tion. We will hold a dedication of the “Lion” which is now in front of the Li-ons International Headquarters.
I would like to thank everyone who helped me through this year. It has been a great experience and wonder-
ful year.
We Serve,
DG Larry Buntrock
Remarks by incoming District Gov-ernor: DG-Elect Neil Bowes thanked everyone who will be serving on the 2017-18 cabinet. The first meeting is scheduled for Saturday, August 5, at the Redfield Senior Center, with a
meal planned for 12:30 and the meet-ing scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
"The Future of Peace" is the theme of the 2017-18 Peace Poster Contest. This is the 30th anniversary of the Peace Poster Contest. Lions clubs can sponsor the pro-gram in their community for children in local schools or organized, sponsored youth groups. Students, ages 11, 12 or 13 on November 15, are eligible to participate.
Through the contest, students are encouraged to visually depict their interpretation of the contest's theme. Lions clubs may purchase a contest kit through the Club
Supplies Sales Department. A kit must be purchased for
each contest sponsored. The contest must be sponsored
by a Lions club.
Artwork must be no smaller than 13 inches by 20 inches (33 centimeters by 50 centimeters) and no larger than 20 inches by 24 inches (50 centimeters by 60 centime-ters). Do not mat or frame artwork. Only one entry per student, and each entry must be the work of only one student. All artwork must be the individual student's original creation. Duplications are not accepted.
All media are accepted. Note: Chalk, charcoal and pastel entries should be sealed with a fixative spray to prevent smearing. Do not laminate entries. Three-dimensional entries will not be accepted. Nothing may be glued, stapled or attached to the artwork in any way. The use of lettering or numbering on the front of the poster, in any language, is not allowed. All artist sig-natures or initials should be written on the back of the poster. Artwork should be done on a flexible material, so it can be rolled for shipping in a mailing tube. Do not fold poster.
Participants accept all responsibility for late, lost, misdi-rected or illegible entries. Lions Clubs International is not responsible for entries damaged, destroyed or lost during the judging process. Entries cannot be acknowl-edged or returned; they become property of Lions Clubs International upon receipt. Peace Poster Contest images cannot be used without written permission from Lions Clubs International. In consideration for the opportunity to enter the Peace
Poster Contest, participants agree to allow Lions Clubs International to use their names and photographs for promotional and publicity purposes. In addition, the in-ternational grand prize winner, two family members (one being a parent or legal guardian) and the sponsoring club president or a club member (as designated by the sponsoring club president) are required to attend the special award ceremony. An international grand-prize winner is not eligible to receive subsequent prizes in fu-ture Peace Poster contests sponsored by Lions Clubs In-ternational. By entering, participants agree to be bound by these rules and the decisions of the judges and Lions
Clubs International.
