Region II Zone Meeting

I attended the Region II joint Zone Meeting on Wednesday, September 15 at the Hoss's Restaurant in Hummelstown, along with 40+ Lions, Lioness, and Leos. The Zone Chairs teamed up with Hoss's Comunity Day Fundraiser and raised funds toward a Region II Project at the same time. Lion John Petrina gave pointers on creating a brochure and Lion John Mallonee provided info on eclubhouse, how to create your own Club website. Both are available to help Clubs with these great PR Tools. PDG Frank Wedig shared a video on Brainport, the latest technology to help individuals that are blind have some vision. This project has some funding through the funds received from PA Lions Sight Research and Conservation Foundation. Clubs shared their upcoming activities. It was a great evening of sharing, good conversation, information gained, and good food. Thanks to Zone Chairs Lion Krista and Lion Kathy on a successful first Zone Meeting.

September 12 Cabinet Meeting

We held our first Cabinet Meeting on Sunday, September 12 at Four Points Sheraton in Chambersburg. Great attendance, participation, and fun filled the afternoon. Several action items were approved. Committee Reports were provided. It was a busy summer. Congrats to all who attended the First Leadership Interaction Session led by PDG Jan Adams. Topics were Teambuilding and Motivation. PDG Jim Zeger led us in the wave as we prepare to "Catch The Wave of Lionism" for the District Rally in April. Thanks to the Region Four Clubs who provided baskets for the raffle. PDG Pete Van Zandt provided LCIF Goals for the District. Remember to bring a few extra dollars to the next Cabinet Meeting to enter the raffle for the Framed Winning 2009-10 Peace Poster. See you at the next Cabinet Meeting November 14 at Holiday Inn in Grantville.
