Lions' flag program is in full force
Veteran's Day - November 11 - was the last holiday of 2012 for putting out and taking down flags for the Poulsbo Noon Lions Club. Here, Lions Sherrie and Pat Burch are putting up flags on Front Street. This has been a solid fund-raiser for our club, headed by Lion Dick Prine, over the years.

Lions react to Superstorm Sandy
Earlier
this week as Superstorm Sandy was near landfall on the East Coast, we let you
know that Lions would be there for those in the storm's path. We know the
devastating impact that a disaster can have in a community and as always, our
thoughts and prayers are with those who were affected, including members of our own Lions
family. As Lions, we have
once again demonstrated our quick response in the time of need, and we
want to update you on relief efforts.
Lions
Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) awarded a US$100,000 Major Catastrophe
Grant with money from the disaster relief fund, allowing Lions in affected areas
to immediately begin providing assistance. Many Lions are already working with
local food banks, police and fire departments and other local
organizations.
In
addition to the Major Catastrophe Grant, LCIF has awarded US$100,000 in
emergency grants to Lions districts in North Carolina, Maryland, New Jersey,
Connecticut and New York. LCIF was able to award these funds from the disaster
relief fund, thanks to Lions who generously donated knowing that in times of
disaster there is an urgent
and great need.
Follow
our efforts online through the LCI blog, Twitter and Facebook. LCIF is expecting and is ready for
many more emergency grant requests as Lions assess the
needs of their communities and power is restored. We also encourage Lions to
consider making a donation to the Foundation for disaster relief. Donations to the disaster relief fund are
Melvin Jones Fellowship eligible.
We
believe that "In A World of Service," one person can make a difference, but
together we can have an even greater impact.
Sincerely,
Wayne
A. Madden Wing-Kun
Tam
President,
LCI Chairperson, LCIF
