District 202M InforMer, 21 October 2011 1 Simon Says The first quarter of the year nearly by and I start already to sound repetitive when it comes to club reports. This Lions year 9 clubs have not reported anything, and 2 clubs have filled in their last report in April. 25 Clubs have not reported any activities. I know that all have done a lot of work and it is not right that these clubs are registered as doing no activities. A good start is maybe that clubs make sure that the membership and activity report gets read in your meeting as outgoing correspondence. If it is a problem as “do not know how to do the filling in”, ask your Zone Chairman. If it is technical, we have two IT members in the cabinet to assist your club. Congratulations to Napier Host for celebrating 50 years on 30 September and to Hastings host for their 50 years celebration on 1 October. I attended both celebrations. On Sunday 2 October Marianna and I visited Weka Point, where the Hastings Host Club opened a suspension bridge to the Weka Point Scout Camp as their anniversary project. The 50 years of Hastings Lions came together with the 100 year Weka Point Scout Camp. [See page 2 of this InforMer for photos – Ed.] What a great service project and President Sam Browne can be proud on this achievement of his club. It is fantastic that these two clubs are still going very strong. I wish both clubs many more good years to follow with what they do best “serving their community”. While I think that all clubs do their best to provide outstanding service, I have to mention the Masterton Holdsworth Club for their project of a Blind and Low Vision Toy Library. Last year in October (the month dedicated to service for the blind) they started this project and this October they celebrated the opening. Enjoy your making of the home made music instruments. To have a few more ideas try to Google, there are many more to choose from and most are easy to make. Have a look at the LCI website for lots of information about Lions. Make your Lions fun and life gets easier.

This has certainly been a very successful project. A huge vote of thanks must go to all who have been involved and who have supported it. After seven months of preparation, we finally saw the results of this project with the Presentation Evening and following photographic displays. The evening itself was a great success and this is in no small way due to the support of the club with over two thirds of our members being involved in one way or another. I know that there are many things that can be improved on, but the feedback we have received has certainly made the effort worthwhile. Success does not come without a lot of work behind the scenes and a huge “THANK YOU” must go to all the members of the subcommittee, for their time, effort and belief in the project.
