You may think this Vice District Governor is a real pussycat, but if you don’t submit your PU-101s in a timely manner, you may discover a different creature...

DG Tom’s CornerI have just returned from a two week visit to Ontario where I went to several meetings and attended the District A-3 convention. The visit provided me an opportunity to meet and greet old friends. It also gave me the chance to offer thanks and present my banner.I can hardly believe my year is almost completed. Two more months, five more visits, two conventions, a cabinet meeting and few other activities to keep one’s life interesting. All clubs should have completed, or be near completion, of the election of officers for the coming year. It is very important to file your PU101 forms. Your club officers will receive passwords to access the Lions website to file monthly membership and activities reports.All Lions are invited to attend the officer training this weekend where we will also conduct a World Wide Induction Day. Many Lions have

registered and we have planned an extension workshop on the Saturday afternoon.Our Multiple District Convention is set for May 14 - 15 in Kalispell, MT. If you have not registered, plan to do so soon. There will be elections for Vice Council Chair, Lions Foundation of Canada Director and resolutions on which to mark your ballot – all Lions are important in this process and every vote counts. Some clubs may not be eligible to vote. I have a list of clubs who have outstanding accounts with Lions Clubs International. If not paid in full, then your delegates may not have the opportunity to express the wishes of your club. Payment must be received before the day of voting . To all delegates – I need your vote for the office of Vice Council Chair- elect Lion Tom Hodgson – Working with you for a better tomorrow.

Multiple District 37 Resolutions to be voted at the Annual Convention,May �5, 20�0

Resolutions for Changes to Multiple District 37 Bylaws

Resolution #�:That Article II Section F 3 a. of the Multiple District 37 Bylaws be amended by the replacement of the words “shall allow thirty (30) days” by the word “and” to read

a. Applications from candidates to fill the vacancy shall be accepted by a three member selection committee appointed by the Council. Said committee shall be comprised of an Immediate Past District Governor, a District Governor, and a Past Council Chairperson. The committee shall allow thirty (30) days to advertise and give notification of the vacancy, shall allow thirty (30) days and for applications to be submitted and shall allow fifteen (15) days to review the applications and to make their recommendations to the Council.

Resolution #2:That Article IV Section B Subsection b – Multiple District 37 Finance Committee be amended to read:

The Multiple District 37 Council of Governors, in prior consultation with the Multiple District 37 District Governors-elect shall, at its final Council meeting of the year, appoint a Multiple District 37 Finance Committee to serve in the ensuing year. The members of the Multiple District 37 Finance Committee shall be:

• The incoming Vice Council Chairperson (Chair of the Committee)• The incoming Council Chairperson• One incoming District Governor (vice chair of the committee)• One incoming 1st Vice District Governor

These above noted Lions shall be full voting members of said committee with all rights and responsibilities as set out in the Multiple District 37 Bylaws and the Multiple District 37 Policies. The Multiple District 37 Finance Committee shall have the responsibility of selecting one advisor to its committee from the current Multiple District 37 advisors and said advisor shall be a non-voting member of this committee. The Multiple District 37 Secretary Treasurer shall be an ex-officio to this committee.

(This is a housekeeping item to amend the Bylaws to reflect the preferred membership on the Finance Committee.)

Resolution #3:Article IV Section B �.a. (Multiple District Administrative Account - Budget)

To amend the Bylaws by the elimination of the words “Multiple District Campaign Expense” and that Article IV Section H. Campaign Fund be eliminated, with the subsequent items to be renumbered accordingly.

(This is a housekeeping item to address the fact that the MD Campaign Fund does not exist as a separate line item.)

Resolution #4:Article VII Section A Convention Advisory CommitteeThat the Multiple District 37 Bylaws be amended by the elimination of the current wording, and replacing it to read: The Past International Officers nearest the convention site will be appointed by Council to act as advisors to the Multiple District 37 Convention Host Committee.

(This is a practical measure to have nearest Past International Officer work with the Convention Host Committee.)

Resolution #5:Article XVIII Section B – Multiple District Hall of Fame. That this article be amended by deleting Subsection 1 and 2, and inserting

1. The Multiple District 37 Hall of Fame banner(s) bearing the names of inductees will be displayed at each Multiple District 37 Convention.2. A medallion bearing the inductee΄s name, title, and year of induction shall be presented to the Hall of Fame inductee at an appropriate ceremony held during the Multiple District Convention.

(This is a change to the Hall of Fame permanent recognition, from a very old cracked wooden plaque to a more portable Banner format that can easily be displayed and transported.)

On April 4th, the Tumbler Ridge Lions Club organized an Easter egg hunt for the children of Tumbler Ridge. This annual event had previously been organized by another service club that was no longer in existence. Rather than disappoint the youth, the Lions Club stepped into the breach. A determined core of volunteers organized a wonderful day complete with plenty of chocolate, games and prizes, hot dogs and juice, and balloons. Several businesses in town donated the food, prizes, and decorations. Those with no suitable items gave cash. That enabled the volunteer crew to purchase all the chocolate treats. Over 300 children (aged 0-12) showed up to take in the fun. With the help of the local Scouts, the Lions Club made sure every child went home with treats and happy memories.

The Grande Prairie Lions wish to thank the Fox Creek Lions Club for their donation of used eyeglasses for the SRI LANKA program.
