District Meeting

Plan to attend the District Convention at the Paso Robles Event Center (Fair Grounds), May 4-6.

Lion PDG Dan Lyon is requesting that each of the clubs and any individual members who would like donate items to the raffle to help off-set convention expenses. It is always fun to win a special basket, plant, item that a club or individual or business has donated! Variety is the spice of life, so please be creative. Take a look at the tentative agenda.

Please sign up for the convention as soon as possible. We will be making up name badges and preparing registration packets in advance and would truly love to have the bulk of those done before the start of the convention. The registration forms are available in either PDF file or Word Doc format. Club secretaries should have received the delegate forms but if not (or if you lost them), the PDF version and Word Doc versions are here.

The first night will be have a Western theme, so grab those cowboy hats, jeans, boots, shirts, ties, etc., and come have a wonderful time!!!

If you would like to bring your RV, there are a limited number of spaces across the street from the Fair Grounds. Make your reservations early.

Get your WMMRs and PU-101's In

Even though the contests are over for this year, it is vital that you keep filing your WMMRs and file your PU-101 in a timely manner, so 1) DG Dick can be in the running for 100% DG, 2) any changes you make can and will be entered into the district database to assist with creating the 2012-2013 roster, and 3) because I will cry if you don't!! (Just kidding! Maybe?)

Lion Juanita Nichols, as incoming District Secretary, will be thrilled to see your PU-101's. They are past due, so if you haven't sent them in yet, please do so pronto.

Advertise In The 2012-13 Roster

You, your club and your business can all advertise in the District Roster. Just send in ad along with payment by June 25. Here's the flyer with all the info.

April District Newsletter

The District Newsletter has been sent to club secretaries for distribution, but you can grab your copy here.

Presidential and Secretarial Training

Reserve the Date! LCI has requires we give training to all 2012-2013 club Presidents and club Secretaries. This will also apply to the district contests. To make it as easy as possible, we will give the training session, one-time only:

This will also allow more time at our convention to enjoy other festivities. Please pass this information on to the incoming presidents and secretaries of your clubs.

Roster Updates

Grab the latest updates to the roster here.

Help Grow a Forest

The USDA Forest Service had a Penny Pines program where you can help the reforestation of Southern California forests. For about $68 you can sponsor an acre of forest. Lion DG Dick Kane had approved this as a District activity. See the attached flyer for more information.

Global Membership and Global Leadership Teams

Starting this Lions year the International Association is instituting a new direction in leadership and membership development. At all levels of administration, from LCI headquarters down to each district, there will be Global Membership and Global Leadership Teams. Lion Pete Mueller is our new GLT-D Coordinator and PDG Stan Sharpe our new GMT-D Coordinator. The following links will direct you to an overview article on the GLT-D and GMT-D concept, and the three-year plan for the GLT in our District. The three-year plan for the GMT is here.
