Lions:It's a Great time to be a Lion! There is no better way to end the year than to do a

kind deed for someone in need. You don't have to look farto find someone who is down on their luck or just needs afriendly smile to lift their spirits. Your life will become bet-ter by making other lives better.

“The greatest purpose in life, the greatest achievement onecould ever have in life, the greatest satisfaction one could everget in life, can only be found in the service of others.”

AnonymousAmazing! That's how I define our Lions Clubs.

Thanks to all who give of their time and talents to “servingone another” in your communities and around the globe.Be proud to be a Lion and wear your colors and pins wher-ever you go.

Looking into the future, all District 14-K Cabinet posi-tions including Executive Committee and Programs &Projects need to be assigned for fiscal 2017-2018. It's not tooearly to think about stepping up to a District level positionand begin any training that may be needed -- there mayeven be an open position for you! I encourage you to con-tact me to learn more about the qualifications needed to jointhis group of dedicated Lions. Additionally, in January, Iwill begin updating the 2017-2018 District Directory. Pleaselet me know if you are aware of any corrections or addition-al information that would be helpful to our members.

May the spirit of this holiday season fill your heartwith love, peace and serenity. Remember, life is short . . .forgive quickly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and neverregret anything that made you smile. I wish everyone aSafe and Happy New Year!

In Lionism,

1st VDG Don Kaufman

We're off to a new year in 2017 and halfway through ourLions year. I had the pleasure of doing a Zone meeting forthe folks from Region II Zone A. Thanks to Lion PresidentPatty Vahey and the Whitehall Lions for sponsoring the meet-ing at the Whitehall Library. Although three of the clubswere not represented, it was a good meeting and I was happyto see how much work was being done by the Coplay andWhitehall Lions Clubs.

This year at the District 14-K Convention there will beseveral new seminars. One of those is called “Club SuccessStories,” presented by PDG Glen Santee. This is a round tablediscussion about the projects done by clubs that have been asuccess. I urged the Whitehall club to attend that seminar.They are a prime example of how teamwork can make thingshappen and even in adversity, can be a huge success. Bringyour success stories to the table so that other clubs can brain-storm on your ideas. Don't keep your success a secret.

The other seminar that you can't afford to miss is that ofPID Cindy Gregg's presentation of “Meet the Taters.” We areso excited to have PID Cindy come to our convention. Herseminar centers around the different types of Lions. This isnot only funny, but it teaches us how to work with the differ-ent personalities within our club. I know you think it's earlyto think about the convention, but don't forget, due to theholidays, it's early this year.

I also made my first trip to Harrisburg for my 2nd VDGtraining. I am learning a great deal about Lions, much morethan I expected. I also spent some quality time with the other2nd VDG's from Pennsylvania. Over the next three years,these people will be my closest Lion friends, as we will belearning together and doing our best to make PennsylvaniaLions great. Together we will reach that goal of DistrictGovernor together. Everyone who has even been a DistrictGovernor has told me it was one of the most fulfilling timesin their lives and that many of the friends they made will betheir friends for life. I'm not sure what your reason would befor not stepping up, but I can tell you it's worth the time.Come and talk to me. I know you can do this. I am enjoyingthe journey and would like to see someone step up to takethe journey with me.

would do, too. Ask a ques-tion and you're liable to gettoo much information. Atwork for Sight Life I oftenhear our VP MichaelBeardon say, 'At Sight Lifewe take the higher road.' So,guess what I did!

“I talked my fiancé intogoing with me: we made aday of it. The research semi-nar at Salus in the morningand then the MutterMuseum, we've heard somuch about. I must say, Ienjoyed the research seminarimmensely; the MutterMuseum, well it is dis-turbingly informative.During the opening remarks,I learned for the most part

grants from the PLSCERFprovide funding for pilotdata allowing the researcherto apply for larger grantsthrough other organizations.

“Attending this programmade me proud to be a Lionand realize the impact our

coin cards have on humanity.I've heard it said many timesin District 14-K that 'the peo-ple at Salus do great work,'but didn't realize until thispast Saturday that the peo-ple at Salus DO great work!The grant process was alsoexplained. PLSCERFreceives the applications andforwards them to their vol-unteer board of renownedout-of-state researchers toreview and report their find-ings on a scale of 1 to 10. ThePLSCERF takes that infor-mation and their views toaward or reject the applica-tion. Since grant moneyfrom this foundation is onlyused to supportPennsylvania pilot data,using out of state researchersas reviewers avoids conflictof interest.

“After the presentations,we were able to talk one onone with the doctors. What agreat experience! Thank youboard members for yourvisionary work that willmake a better future for somany people.”
