BARK OF THE "C" LION AND DISTRICT GOVERNOR’S NEWSLETTER
“Scripture, Tradition and Reason”
Volume 49, Issue 7 March 5, 2017
District Governor’s Message Fellow Lions;
I hope this finds you well. At this point, it is difficult to tell if it is winter or spring. Lots of flowers are in bloom and many trees are budding. Who would have thought this would happen at the beginning of March!
Thanks to everyone who attended and made the 24-A and 24-C Mid-winter conference a success. We had over 187 Lions registered. By all account, those who attended found the programs interesting. The food was also good. More importantly, it was a time to come together and establish new friendships with those who will soon be part of our district. Special thanks are extended to Cabinet Secretary Vicki Davies for a wonderful job in organizing all of the registrations.
As many of you know, February saw a challenge for the Lions. That challenge came in the form of HB-1408. It is a bill that would have established one company as the sole provider of sight screenings to the children of the Commonwealth. Had it not been for the work of Lion George Goodwin and the Council of Governors, the ability of Lions to do their jobs would have been seriously jeopardized. Thanks to some hard work and concessions in language, we will continue to do our work.
It is my privilege to be able to report that the Lord Fairfax Community College Lions Club is well on its way to being established. To date, there are eight students who have signed up. The club may start as a branch club. As they reach twenty members, they will become fully chartered. This is great news for our district. Thanks to L.C.I. for sending Campus Club Coordinator Paul Baker to assist us in our endeavors. We are seeing some growth in our district. Thanks for all of your hard work with membership.
At the Mid-winter cabinet meeting, Lion Joel Kendall announced his intent to run for 2nd Vice District Governor. Joel is an outstanding Lion and it will be great to see him work towards becoming District Governor.
It is hard to believe that the State Convention is in a little more than two months. Though the year is winding down, we are not finished in our work. There is always more to be done. As International President Bob Corlew has stated, “There are always new mountains to climb”.
We look forward to seeing you in our travels this spring. Have a great March.
In Lionism

A Note from First Vice District Governor Lion John Knepper
Happy March to all the Lions of District 24C. In just a couple of weeks, SPRING IS COMING.
The Combined District 24A and 24C Mid-Winter Conference/Social was a great event as those who came are aware. We had excellent attendance and some great program sessions. It also provided an opportunity for our two districts to interact together in anticipation of the merger coming next year.
February was a little slower for me with just a couple of club visitations and a couple of Zone Meetings in addition to the Mid-Winter Conference. This has given me a little time to work on planning for next year and to work on cabinet appointments. I am working to roll out plans for a great year next year. I hope you will help me to make 24C’s last year one to remember.
We are counting down the weeks until the State Convention in Roanoke in May. I hope you are able to be part of our State Convention. Be looking for information and registration forms in the next few weeks. And then we go to Chicago for our 100th anniversary celebration!!
As I contemplate the start of our 101st year and my year to serve you as your District Governor, I still have much to do in preparation. Part of this is finishing filling out the District Cabinet. If I have not talked to you and you wish to serve, or continue to serve, our District, please let me know where you wish to serve. I am looking for a few good Lions who are willing to work with me to make next year a great year for 24C. I hope you will be ready to roll up your sleeves and work with me.
As St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, I close with a traditional Irish blessing for you:
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Yours in Lions Service, Lion John

TIME TO CELEBRATE The Association of Lions Club was established on June 7, 1917 at the Hotel LaSalle in Chicago. Next
summer, the 100th International Convention will be held June 30 – July 4 in Chicago at McCormick Place,
the largest convention venue in North America. Lions Club International is pulling out all the stops to
make the convention memorable. The Parade of Nations will march down State Street in the heart of
the city. Chicago, the band, will play the International Show. Various tours are available before, during
and after the convention including special guided tours of LCI Headquarters in Oak Brook. Early
registration is through January 13, 2017 for $130. The Virginia hotel is the Hyatt Regency Chicago.
Shuttle buses will run from the hotel to the convention center.
