Fellow Lions,
There has been interest by a few members in attending the LVRF Update and a tour of the Low Vision Center and lunch at Johns Hopkins Hospital on Saturday, November 17, starting at 9:30 am. If we get enough member interest maybe we can rent a van to travel together?
Let me know if interested?
Thanks.

Fellow Lions,
A really big thank-you goes out to Lion Bob Knapp, Parade Coordinator, and his entire parade team for an excellent job in conducting a very successful Halloween Parade on Sunday, October 28th. As it turns out, it was the correct decision to move the parade to Sunday, a much more suitable day finally for a parade! I know the team members who got the contestants signed-up and lined-up; got them underway on time; walked the parade route with the group signs; announced contestants at the viewing stand, and acted as judges all deserve much credit for a successful parade. I think the community really appreciates what we do as is evident by the enthusiasm they show all along the parade route.
Again, many thanks to all for a job well done.

Fellow Lions,
I really appreciate the outstanding member turnout last night for District Governor Wayne Cole’s visit. It turned out to be a great evening of fellowship with 16 members visiting from Rock Hall, 6 members from Chesapeake City and a number of members’ guests attending.
Since there was so much going on last night, I wanted to get a reminder out to you so you can mark your calendars for these important Lion events.
Thanks.

Reminders for Upcoming Lions Events:
Fellow Lions,
Similar to last year, I’m implementing a “Buddy Team” concept to promote travel to meetings and events together, member socialization, and just general member support. I am requesting team leads (highlighted in bold) to provide encouragement to fellow Lion team members to attend meeting and events.
Thanks,
KL Dave
Fellow Lions,
As we start the new year, I wanted to distribute the Goals for 2018-19 which were developed to guide the Club in the coming year. I actually covered these Goals briefly at the Installation Dinner meeting in June. As you’ll see, they are really not earth shattering in nature, but address our continuing support of our service projects; continue to increase membership and focus on member retention; list service committee/event leadership assignments; update the “Buddy System;” and conduct a member orientation/mentoring program for all our new members.
Also, I really appreciate Club members stepping up to fill the service committee/event Chair positions. This year to ensure all members have an opportunity to serve in a leadership position, I have created a Vice Chair position for most committees/events.
As a reminder, our next dinner meeting will be on Wednesday, September 12, at the Chester River Yacht and Country Club. Our guest dinner speaker will be Dr. Shanahan. Since he will be speaking on a health-related topic, we have designated this meeting as” health worker guest” night. So, if you have a friend or neighbor who is a doctor, nurse, physical therapist, or sports trainer and they are really interested in being a Lion and serving the community, please consider bringing them to the meeting.
Thanks.
KL Dave
