 Last month, several areas of the United States
experienced widespread flooding and damage from Hurricane Irene. As
always, Lions are bringing aid to the people affected by this
disaster. LCIF has awarded US$110,000 in emergency grants to
districts in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina,
Vermont and Puerto Rico for disaster relief. Our members are using
these funds to provide immediate assistance to people in the hardest hit
areas. Learn more about our efforts - and how you
can help.

Global
Leadership Team (GLT)
 The new GLT provides a concentrated focus on active
leadership development. Beginning this year, the GLT will encourage
the identification and development of leaders at all levels of the
association, while providing valuable information, guidance and
motivation. Through representation at the district and MD levels -
and by including DG teams - the GLT structure provides a global
platform to develop more qualified leaders from the club level up,
and encourages regional training and development to meet local needs.

Take Part in Our
Commemorative Coin Campaign to Help Raise Millions for LCIF
How much is a Lions' silver dollar worth? About $8
million! That's how much we hope to raise for LCIF if Congress passes
a commemorative coin bill honoring our centennial in 2017. Getting
Congressional approval is not automatic. Congress passes only two commemorative
coin bills per year. Many Lions - including past international
presidents, past international directors and other members - are
lobbying their congressional representatives to pass the legislation.

October Service
Action Campaign: Sharing the Vision
Every five seconds, someone in our world goes blind -
and a child goes blind every minute. Lions have an opportunity to
show the strength of our worldwide network during a special service
action campaign, "Sharing the Vision." During October, we
invite your club to join Lions around the world as we lead the fight
against blindness. Join the campaign.
