HARRISVILLE LIONS CLUB
Greetings from DGE Lion
Patty Nutter
After attending our 89th MD 29 Lions Convention held at
Lakeview Resort, I must say it was an experience that I
will cherish forever. I would like to thank the members
of the Harrisville Lions Club and Lions of District 29 L
for my support during the past two years. I vow to do my
best to make the upcoming year a successful one.
Together, we can make our district an outstanding one.
Our guest speaker for the convention was Second
International President, Lion Wayne Madden from Auburn,
Indiana. His lovely wife, Lion Linda, accompanied him.
His speech was upbeat and very complimentary of West
Virginia Lions. He encouraged us to continue to work on
membership growth and to serve those who are less
fortunate. He was very impressed with the WVU Eye
Institute and the lions involvement with
programs/services that are offered to citizens.
Following his speech at the Saturday evening banquet, he
presented Lion Paul Nutter with ―The Global Leader in
Humanitarian Service banner and International President
Sid Scruggs III ―Beacon of Hope pin. Lion Paul had
donated a beef last year which was raffled and earned
$5,500.00 for the West Virginia Lions Sight Conservation
Foundation. A special thanks to all lions throughout MD
29 who sold tickets for this worthwhile project.
Lion Paul presented progressive Leonard
Jarrett awards to the following:
-
PDG Lion Eva Dague, District L,
-
PDG Billie Nichols, District I
-
PCC Gary VanHorn, District I
-
PDG John Pinkerman, District O
-
Lion Charlie Biggs, District N.
A special thanks to these special lions who have
served the WVLSCF in multiple ways.
I would like to thank all Lions who attended the
Officer’s Training School. The sessions were very
productive and worthwhile.
I would like to THANK
-
PDG Eva Dague for setting the
dates/locations and for providing the training for
the secretaries and treasurers.
-
A special thanks to 1st VDGE
Lion Bob Moffett for training the presidents/vice
presidents.
-
Thanks also to PDG Richard
McMillan for incorporating the membership session
into our officers training school. If you would like
to have a program on membership, please feel free to
contact him at 304.873.1194 or
dclionrcm@yahoo.com.
I encourage every club to have a
membership drive during the year 2011-2012.
We will continue our programs on leadership/orientation,
as well as membership, extension and retention in the
new lion’s year. Every member of each club is encouraged
to invite a new lion to join his/her club. PDG Eva Dague
will serve as Leadership chairperson. Please contact her
at
evadague@aol.com or
304.845.7647 for a program on leadership/ orientation.
The cabinet training and first cabinet meeting will be
held at the Harrisville Lions Club on Sunday, July 24,
2011 at 2PM. Lunch will be provided for the cabinet
members. If additional guests plan to attend, please let
me know by July 17th.
As we make the transition into the new lion’s year, I
would like to thank DG Jeff Baxter and his wife, Lion
Linda, for all of the support and guidance they have
given to me for the past two years. I wish you both the
best as you continue your Lions leadership and service. Yours in Lionism, 1st VDG Lion Patty |
