Programs - September, 2015
September 7, 2015 - This was our Monthly Board Meeting. Minutes of that meeting were published on the Club's blog and made available to all Club Members for their review and comment. A motion was made, seconded and approved to accept the Minutes as presented.

September 21, 2015 - Lion Jerry McJunkin discussed the Lions Highway Cleanup Program (Protecting The Environment) and stated that District 4-L4 has identified highway sections throughout California for Districts and Club's to clean-up. He encourages all Clubs to participate as an environmental program commitment.

Today we hosted the annual New District Governors visit. District Governor Ken Myers, 1st Vice District Governor Bob Susaeta and 2nd Vice District Governor Judy Barr plus most of the District Cabinet were in attendance. 1st VDG, Bob, and 2nd VDG, Judy talked to us, briefly, about the USA/Canada Forum they had recently attended in Grand Rapids Michigan and stated this was a very educational and rewarding event. Next years USA/Canada Forum will be held in Omaha, Nebraska.

They talked about the health of our District and we are doing well. We currently have 1324 members in 36 Clubs in the District. During the past year we added 101 new members. We also lost 52 members for a 49 member net gain in membership. 1st VDG Bob talked about the benefits of District, Regions, Zones and Clubs working together in sharing ideas, fundraisers and communications to enhance our success in aiding our areas and communities.

2nd VDG Judy Barr talked to us about the "Centennial Service Challenge" We have been challenged to serve in:
  • Engaging Our Youth
