Third Cabinet Meeting

Saturday, February 19-20

Prepare yourself to have a ton of fun -- and spend less than usual to get it. The Third Cabinet Meeting will be held in Oxnard at Santa Clara High School. Hotel rooms are available at the newly refurbished (and beautiful) Hampton Inn on the peninsula at Channel Islands Harbor. Non-view rooms are available for $85 while harbor view rooms are $105. Lunch on Saturday is only $7 and dinner is $12. Compare those prices with previous Cabinet Meetings.

Special thanks to the Channel Islands Lions Club who are preparing a fabulous tri-tip and chicken feast for Saturday night. We'll be meeting in the gym, where we'll have tons of food, a no host bar and a Sock Hop (if you're old enough to remember those, you are old enough to have forgotten them). Music will run from the 40's to present.

Be sure to download the Reservation Form and Agenda (this one's preliminary and subject to change). Be sure to take advantage of the special room rates. They go up next week.

Facebook and Google Pages

Now that the Cabinet meeting is behind us, it is time to work on our Google and Facebook pages. For the time being, the Facebook page is open (meaning you don't have to be approved to join it). Just click on the link at the bottom of the menu and go. The Google page requires that you ask to join and be approved. The reason for that (and the reason we'll probably have to do the same with Facebook) is that spammers start posting ads for products you don't want to hear about. When you submit your request on Google, please include your real name (no one knows your email address) and club affiliation.

If you have photos of a club event, feel free to put them up on the Facebook page's photo page. You can post videos on the video page as well. We'll leave them up for several months so everyone has a chance to view them. Putting pictures up is quite easy and a wonderful way to memorialize an event. Facebook is a nice place to chat with other Lions in the district as well as post quick announcements.

The Google site is more for structured discussions. We have quite a few discussion subjects of continuing interest, like: Programs/speakers of note, a list of Eye Doctors for Screenings, Disasters/hearing/sight Community of Interest and how to handle lots of referrals from a vision screening.

Welcome Lions 4-A3 Pirates

District Governor Dan Lyon has proclaimed us the "Pirates of Lions 4-A3." In keeping with his theme this year, we are to enjoy each others' companionship and have a rollicking good time while doing fabulous service projects for our communities. Fun and service go hand-in-hand.

Lions District 4-A3 is located along the coast of California, north of Los Angeles and south of Big Sur. If you'd like to find a Lions club in Ventura, Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo counties, please click on Find a Club and enter the name of your city.

Calling All Bulletin Editors

Bulletin Editors can submit their bulletins for judging either on paper or by email. Download the rules and addresses of the judges so you can send in your bulletins and be judged. A permanent copy of the rules and judges' addresses will be on the Contest Forms link on the menu.

Club Signage

Zone One Chairman, Lion Nick Sherwin, has coordinated getting signs made for District Clubs. If your club doesn't have a sign outside their meeting place, doesn't have signs for events or needs a banner to attract attention at a distance, check out the special pricing and details in Lion Nick's flyer.

Calendar Items

If you have an event you'd like to put on our calendar, use the link at the bottom of every page on the site. If you wish to post a flyer along with the announcement, include the content of the flyer in Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF or JPG format and sent it as an attachment to Webmaster Toby Scott.
