Upland Host Lions Monthly Bulletin - April, 2013
Programs - April, 2013
April 2, 2013 - This was our Monthly Board Meeting. The Minutes of that Meeting were published on the Club's blog at: http://uplandhostlions.blogspot.com April 15, 2013 - Lion Sang was our program coordinator today and he had arranged for Upland Police Chief, Jeff Menenhall, to speak to us. Chief Mendenhall spoke about the size and activities of the Upland Police Department. He said they have 28 civilian employees, 39 Officers and a number of "Volunteers in Service". He gave us many statistics regarding the Department such as:
- 6 Officers on duty at all times
- In 2011 they responded to 75,866 calls
- In 2012 they responded to 70,000 calls
- In 2012 they made 4,034 arrests, 209 were youths
- Average response times were 5minutes, 25seconds.
- With the budget cuts being imposed the response time is now taking longer
- In 2012 the Department conducted 712 investigations
- The Police Department budget for 2013 is $15,075,550.00
The Chief did say the statistics are trending downward. The Department has what they call "Volunteers In Service" and they do paper work, field vacation checkers and other work to relieve the regular officers to do higher priority police work. The Department also produces a weekly news letter on the Upland web site and report all activities of the Department.
The Police Department has a ride along program in which civilians can ride along in the Patrol Cars for 4 hours at a time.
This was a very interesting and insightful program regarding the Police Department.

Today a video program was planned but we were unable to get to the DVD player so the program was postponed until next time. The Club discussed the preparation of plastic bag bed mats for the homeless. The Atria Club Members had cut up a LOT of plastic bags to use for this project. Lion Tina took a large bag of the plastic strips with her to prepare them for knitting into the mats.

Mike, you have done a great job in putting all this information and organization structure together now this team has the responsibility to use all this work and make this a banner year for our Fish Bake.
On April 27th Cub Scout Pack 614 held their annual Pine Wood Derby Race at Sierra Vista Park. Lions Jim P. and Lois acted as judges for the cars. This is always an interesting and fun day for us to participate in.
We were honored to have one of our former members (now an Associate Member) visit us today. Lion Olaf Dieter now lives in Santa Rosa and is a member of a Club in that City. He was in Southern California to help celebrate the birthday of his son who lives in Claremont. Olaf said he couldn't go home without visiting the Club. We were honored to have Olaf back with us. He is a great Lion and was an outstanding member of our Club.

Again, this year Upland Host Lions volunteered to assist at the "Upland Lemon Festival". Many of the Club members assisted with various activities at the Festival. Once Again, this year we were asked by visitors where are the lemon items at the festival, such as lemon pies or other lemon products. We were told that there was a food booth selling lemon meringue pies and a few lemonade stands but that was it. Every year we get the same questions regarding lemon items and we give the same answers - we don't know. As a LEMON FESTIVAL there are very few lemon products evident. Here's proof that we were really there.

March 4, 2013 - Today was our monthly Board Meeting. The Minutes of that meeting were published on the Club's blog at: http://uplandhostlions.blogspot.comMarch 18, 2013 - Lion Arlene was our Program Chairperson today and she had arranged for Mr. Mike Tracey, President of the San Antonio Hospital Foundation, to be our speaker. Mr. Tracey reviewed his personal background with us and then talked about the Hospital's History and current expansion project. Mr. Tracey is an experienced fundraiser having been in position as fund raiser for Cal Poly Pomona and now is the primary fund raiser for San Antonio Hospital.
The Hospital was started in 1907 with a $75,000 donation by benefactor Mary Paul and since then has been has been the Inland Valley's health care safety net. Over time the medical services and capabilities have expanded to meet the needs of the growing community. In 1964 the hospital doubled it's capacity with the addition of the 130 bed patient tower. An emergency department was added in 1975, designed to serve 35,000 patients per year. In 2011 the emergency department served nearly 75,000 patients. Over the years the hospital has added the latest technology to better serve their patients. These technical advances include a 64-slice CT scanner, a 3Tesla MRI, the most powerful scanning device available today and their robotic surgery program to provide minimally invasive procedures. They have also added specialized care centers such as the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Women's Breast and Imaging Center and a Gamma Knife Center for intricate brain surgeries.
The Hospital currently has 279 patient beds and is under expansion to 350 beds. In addition to the patient bed expansion the Emergency Department facilities are being expanded to 175,000 square feet. The Hospital has a staff of 1,500 with 500 doctors and 500 volunteers. The Hospital operates in 3 locations, Rancho Sierra, Rancho San Antonio and the Main Hospital. These facilities serve a very large area of the Inland Valley.

Sounds like a great fund raiser. This fund raiser will be held on April 8th.
Last but certainly not least we had a visitor at today's meeting . The visitor is a friend of President Madeleine, Ms. Sandy Watts. Ms Watts has made the decision to join our Club and submitted her application during this meeting. WELCOME SANDY.
Requests for Donations: The only request for donations we had was not for cash but for Soup. The Club agreed to donate 2 gallons of soup to the Lutheran Church Fundraiser.
Motions for Donations: The only motion for donation was made, seconded and approved for the soup donation.
Adjournment: With no further items for discussion President Madeleine adjourned the meeting.

Upland Host Lions Monthly Bulletin - February, 2013
Programs - February, 2013
February 4, 2013 - Today was our monthly Board meeting. The Minutes of the meeting were published on our blog at: http://uplandhostlions.blogspot.com
February 18, 2013 - Lion Ken Bell was our program Chair today and he had arranged for Upland Mayor, Ray Musser, to speak to us. Mayor Musser talked to us about changes in City Administration and cost cutting measures implemented by the City. In the recent past three leading managers had left the City, the Mayor, City Manager and Police Chief. In addition to these to people there has been a successful effort to eliminate other unnecessary layers of management. This effort has resulted in a savings of one million dollars.
The previous City Manager had sued the City, Mayor Musser and Mr. Willis for 7 million dollars. If he had been successful it would have thrown the City into bankruptcy. Fortunately for everyone the City won the lawsuit. In addition the City was part of the lawsuit with the Colonies regarding payment for the flood control basin located in the Colonies. This flood control basin became the focus of a lawsuit involving the City of Upland and four surrounding counties represented by SCAG ( Southern California Association of Governments). To date this lawsuit has cost the City 6 million dollars and SCAG 50 million dollars. The Colonies Partners received 102 million dollars.
Mayor Musser, further, brought us up to speed on the new stores being built at the Colony's. Nostrum's Rack and TJ Max are scheduled to open on March 15, with others to follow shortly. A new ARCO gas station is under construction just north of the freeway at Campus Ave.
Mayor Musser told us he is going to give a State of The City report at noon on Thursday, March 28, and encouraged us to attend.

PDG Ken Sherwood did the honors of installing all these new members and launching the new Club. Until they can get fully organized the Upland Host Lions President and Treasurer will act in those positions for the new Club. The new Club's Secretary will be Lion Carol Warboys.

As a very special highlight of this meeting PDG Elizabeth Warren presented a Flag Set and Club Bell to the new Club. The Bell had belonged to the Rancho Cucamonga Community Club (now deceased) and the Flag Set had been purchased by PDG Elizabeth for the Rancho Community Club. These items received a new home and were graciously received by the New Alta Del Rey Club.

It was suggested that we have a social time from 6:00 to 6:30 PM which would allow time to buy a glass of wine or a beer or just have coffee and give everyone a chance to visit and wait for those unable to make the 6:00PM time.
We have been considering replacing our Club shirts. A decision was made to get new shirts and we will get either black or light blue shirts at a cost of $21.00 each.
