June 15, 2018 Fellow Lions:
I am proud and thankful to have served as your Lions President this past
year. It has given me a greater appreciation of each of our members and the
Lions organization. For an organization that boasts a vast 1.4 million plus
members, our Club feels like home and a small family. Being a Lions presi-
dent is a humbling experience as you learn about the past and present dedi-
cation of our members and the rich history of the Burlingame Lions Club.
Thanks to each member for your hard work, time, donations, and car-
ing. Thanks to those who have continued to carry the torch for all the tradi-
tional projects. Thanks to those who found time to add new service pro-
jects. Thanks to our current and new members who made it all possible. I am
thankful for all the guests, speakers, other Lions Clubs, and community or-
ganizations that joined or volunteered with the Burlingame Lions Club.
I have been in Pennsylvania on vacation this past week. From the local Penn-
sylvania museum where Lions helped restore our nation’s history to the Li-
ons of PA on the local news this week being recognized for being instrumen-
tal in helping a five year old child be cancer free. Lionism is ubiquitous in
CA, PA, and the rest of the world. Our lives, our communities, and our world
is a better place due to Lionism.
Although Lions are known to help aid the blind see with their eyes, the great-
er impact has been the Lions' ability to help those who have perfect sight to
see with their hearts the pressing community needs around them. Not only
do Lions make their communities a better place but Lionism makes each of
us a better person. May each of you continue to grow in Lionism and mature
in heart and caring. Thank you for being a bright light in our hearts and
community. Thank you for the opportunity to be your president.
Warmest regards,
Lion Kwang Park

the members who stepped up to lead it. The party kicks off at 5:00 pm

Hall opening day: 1981
The Birth of the Lions Hall After years of meeting at places like Bob’s On Broadway and the Sheraton,
the Club was looking for a place to call home. A group of Lions, with an eye
to the future, contacted the City of Burlingame about an empty building in
Washington Park. This building that we now call the Lions Hall, is an im-
portant part of this city’s history. From 1912 until 1930, it served as the
first library in Burlingame. It resided at the corner of Primrose Road and
Bellevue Avenue, and was moved to Washington Park when the new library
was built. It was the meeting place for American Legion Post No. 163. until
1976, when it was closed due to safety issues. After much discussion and
negotiation, we were granted a long term lease for the building, as long as
we maintained it in good shape. Lions from all around the District donated
services and materials for its upgrade and repair.
The Lions Hall that we now enjoy is a far
cry from when we first found our home.
The Lions Hall is truly our Lions Pride.
Melvin Jones: Some Interesting Facts ...and we’re not “LION”
Melvin Jones’ father was a Captain in the United States Army. Captain
Calvin Jones was commander of a troop of scouts at Fort Thomas. He was
involved in the Indian wars until 1886. Melvin Jones was born at Fort
Thomas on January 13, 1879.
Melvin Jones might not have been the famous one in the family. Rose
Amanda Freeman, who became his wife was an accomplished golfer. She
won the National Woman’s Open Golf title at Pinehurst, No. Carolina in
1925. Melvin jokingly said, “I was perhaps the first golf widower on record”.
Another path: Jones initially wanted to become a lawyer or a tenor. He
was an accomplished singer in his youth, which made him popular in
school. After a move to Chicago and employment in the insurance agency of
Johnson and Higgins, his career path was set and the Lions Clubs would
soon follow.
We might have been “The Wheels”: In 1917, Jones invited delegates from
twenty-seven organizations to join forces under one name to provide service
for their communities. Delegates came from the Optimists, the Reciprocity
Clubs, the Wheels, the Concordia Club of Omaha...and others. Amongst the
groups were the Lions of Indiana. Melvin liked the Lions because he
thought that they stood for courage, strength, fidelity and vital action.
With a little campaigning and arm twisting, he was able to get the others to
agree on the Lions designation. The only group that decided not to join the
collective group were the Optimists.
A Chicago landmark: Melvin Jones was most proud of the opening of the
Lions International Office on Michigan Avenue in Chicago in 1953.
The Road Ends: After several strokes, Melvin Jones passed away in 1961.
The Jones Philosophy: “You can’t get very far until you start doing some-
thing for somebody else”. In a few words, “We Serve”

Lions Club International Convention in Vegas
The 101st annual Lions Club International convention will be held in Las Vegas from
June 29-July 3, 2018. This is a wonderful way to learn more about the Lions Club and to
meet fellow Lions from all around the world.
The current International President, Naresh Aggarwal, will hand over the reins of leader-
ship to the new President. The current officers are 1st VP Lion Gudrun Bjort Yngvadot-
tir, from Iceland; 2nd VP Lion Jung-Yul Choi, from Korea; 3rd VP Lion Haynes Townsend
from the United States, and IPP Robert Corlew, from the United States.
This is a great way to immerse yourself into the world of Lionism. See fliers for details.
Three More for the Road
A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every day, he takes the elevator to the first
floor to go to work or to go shopping. When he returns, he always takes the elevator to the
seventh floor and then walks the remaining flights of stairs to his apartment on the tenth
floor. Why does he do this?
Five pieces of coal, a carrot, and a scarf are lying on the lawn. Nobody put them on the
lawn, but there is a perfectly logical reason for their being there. What is it?
A man walked into a bar and asked the barman for a glass of water. They had never met
before. The barman pulled out a gun from under the counter and pointed it at the man.
The man said “Thank you” and walked out. Why should that be so?
(If you’re stumped, email us for a hint, or the answer)

It’s Been a Busy and Productive Year
Thank you President Kwang Park and all of the Members who made
these functions a rousing success. There are more events to come, so
plan on keeping busy for another great year.

New Bulletin Editor Needed
A new Bulletin Editor will be needed beginning July 1, 2018. It is not a difficult process.
Any word processing program would be suitable. The current Bulletin is based on Word Pub-
lisher and all templates can be provided to you. It is a rewarding experience, as it keeps you
in touch with the activities of the Club and provides communication with the members.
