Fellow Lions, Lionesses and Leos,
With Labor Day in the rear view mirror, Clubs will be gearing up to start
meeting on a regular schedule and I will begin visiting everyone. Please check
my visitation schedule when I will be coming to your club.
At the June cabinet meeting the District adopted a district project for 2016-17.
We will be asking all the clubs to make a donation to the district for “Operation
Safety Net”. You may have heard of it on local news casts, it is a group of
doctors that go out and provide needed medical services and medicine for the
homeless. These doctors get no funding from any government agencies or
hospitals. They volunteer their time. They pay for their medical supplies
including medicine out of their pocket or donations from the public. Look for the
letter Lion Mary Ann Belles sends for more details.
Also, at this year’s State Convention at Seven Springs Resort, the Past District
Governors Association is organizing a service activity for all Lions to take part
in. We will be working with “Stop Hunger Now” to assemble high calorie food
pouches for 30,000 individuals. The cost of the project is $10,600.00 and the
Past District Governors across the State are asking each club to donate $15. That
is per club not per member. Please see the letter from PDG Tom Gregg in this
newsletter. Please send your donation to District 14-B Treasurer John Brown so
we can send one check in for the project.
The Fall Rally and Passing the Banner will be held on Thursday September 29 at
the Comfort Inn and Conference Center Pittsburgh East on Rodi Rd. 15235. The
Guest speakers for the night will be PID Cindy Gregg and PDG Tom Gregg.
Please try to attend a great evening of Lionism and Fellowship as we start the
new Lions year.

PDG Thomas L. (Tom) Gregg, Chairperson 1130 Willowbrook Road Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania 15012-3202 [email protected] Dear District Governor, I am PDG Tom Gregg of District 14-E. I am the Host Committee Chairperson for the 2017 Pennsylvania Lions State Convention in May of 2017. In addition, I am treasurer of the Pennsylvania Counsellors Association, the Multiple District’s Past District Governors. As part of the Centennial Convention we are planning several service projects, based on the four pillars of service from Lions International, on Saturday afternoon. The main service project will be assembling high calorie food pouches for 30,000 individuals. The group we are working with is called Stop Hunger Now (www.stophungernow.org). This will make a huge impact on feeding many people worldwide. This project will be a joint project of the Pennsylvania Counsellors Association and the Host Committee. It is the intention, of the PA Counsellors Association (Pennsylvania) to continue this project, perhaps not at this scale, at a Council Meeting each year. The Past District Governor’s chairperson and liaison to our Host Committee is District Governor Larry Edwards of District 14-L. The total cost of the project $10,600. In order to hold this service project, we are asking for a donation of $15 US dollars from each of your clubs. That is per club and not per member. As this is a service project Activities funds may and should be used. If possible, we would appreciate it if the clubs would send the donation to your district and the district issue 1 check made out to Pennsylvania Counsellors Association. If a club wishes to make a larger donation, all excess funds over and above what is needed for the Convention Service Project, will be used to fund the ongoing project sponsored by the Past District Governors Association. Checks may be sent to me at the above address or you could give me the check at the August or November Council Meetings. A list of the clubs or individuals and the amounts they donated would be greatly appreciated. They will be recognized in the Convention Book. Where There’s A Need, There’s A Lion. We will be Celebrating Our Centennial By Making A Difference Everyday. Please help to feed the needy by encouraging your clubs to donate to this project. Please allow me to thank you and the Lions, Lioness and LEO’s of your district for their outstanding service to those in need. Yours in Lionism,
Thomas L. “Tom” Gregg, PDG 2017 Pennsylvania MD 14 State Convention Host Committee Chairperson

create and foster good fellowship with one another. This year we all will be “Climbing the Mountains”
together as we follow International President Chancellor Bob Corlew’s program.

the ride will continue for12.5 miles out and back to Smithton Beach. All bikers will return at 12 Noon to the Kenneth Frew
Pavilion at Dravo Cemetery for lunch and a ceremony in honor of J. Terrence (Terry) Farrell.
As a long-time member of the McKeesport Lions and local attorney, each year Mr. Farrell’s “Bike for Sight” annual event
raised thousands of dollars for local charities. The McKeesport Hospital Foundation is honored to host this year’s bike ride
where the proceeds will be used to establish an endowment for future distributions in Mr. Farrell’s name. The funds from
last year’s event were distributed locally to the McKeesport Regional History and Heritage Center, the Carnegie Library of
McKeesport, the Mon Yough Trail, and Friends of the Riverfront.
Sponsors donating $100 or more will be listed on the event shirts. Mark your calendar now! Contact the McKeesport

Back in 1983, I had requested copies of the clubs that with their charter dates and the individual in District Operations at
Lions International was kind enough to send me copies of the index cards that were used when clubs were being formed. I
received 10 legal sized pages (printed on front and back), with each page containing copies of six clubs. Out of the sixty
clubs I have “cards” for, only 27 of those clubs are still in existence today. I had the opportunity to visit all 60 of those
clubs and how heart-breaking it is to reflect back on all those clubs that are no longer around. I’m passing some of them
on to you in this and future issues. I hope you enjoy looking at these cards over the next several months. PDG Harold Fletcher
