5 5 Working Teams I see the work of these two teams culminating at the Community Christmas Fair on December 14. Each team has a clear task. My belief is, as a consequence of their efforts membership will grow, families will be more active in Lions and community and business groups will better understand Lions, and become more involved. We will know the community better, their needs and be able to draw on their many talents when fund raising. The chairman of each will ensure a progress report is given at each board meeting and committee meetings will be held to coordinate progress. Meeting dates, times and location should be circulated to all members so they can attend if they wish. I have nominated board members to each team and people who have shown interest. I encourage all members to be involved in either of the teams. BOTH chairman and teams as time goes by will need to be working closely together. Community Involvement. Some ideas: Identify all local voluntary community groups sport yoga etc. to social groups to garden club etc. Identify all local business and outside ones that focus on our community. Consider ways to involve the community and business groups in the Community Christmas Fair maybe stall, sponsorship display, demonstration or an activity to raise money. Contact each ASAP, identify a contact person or persons, , mail, and phone contacts. Send out letter/ inviting them to Lions dinner September 26, for community groups and October 24 for businesses explain the reason e.g. thank them and recognise the role they play in the community and seek their expertise in having a focused, enjoyable community fair and to support a community based fund raiser. As the community are contacted be open for their input and suggestions A program for the dinner, questionnaire guest speaker?. Allen Tickle while busy has indicted he could organise guest speakers. Fund Raiser. Review last year. To me last year had all the organisation right and fund raising leading up to the day and on the day. This organisation needs to start now. The Community Team hopefully will come up with a crowd. Be flexible to cater for community and businesses groups as they are contacted Give a reason for people to come Some additional ideas to think about Auction of memorabilia Auction of donations e.g. stuff from businesses Auction slaves to do a day s work I will try to get local primary schools involved. Maybe a golf day the week before Try to have a theme, maybe local produce or the community w orking together. Focused fund raising, identify where the money will be through consultation.

13 13 INVOCATION As we Lions gather here, we pause to offer up this prayer Bless now, this food that we partake and every effort that we make, To build the towns in which we live, And to put in our hearts, to give to worthy causes. Bless the blind and all we do to serve mankind. Be with us till we meet again and bless our land and our homes...amen LIONS CLUB PURPOSES To promote world understanding among all peoples. To uphold good government and good citizenship. To help those less fortunate. To join together in good fellowship and friendship. To encourage open debate. To encourage others to serve. To promote high ethical standards.

14 14 Lions Code of Ethics To show my faith in the w orthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service. To Seek success and demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self respect lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part. To remember that in building up my ow n business it is not necessary to tear down another s; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to myself. Whenever a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself. To hold friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one to another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in which it is given. Always to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my Nation, my State and my community and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act and deed. To aid others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak and my substance to the needy To be careful w ith my criticism and liberal w ith my praise, to build up not to destroy.
