Lions for Hope completes another successful, fun walk

Linda Pugliese — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 06:17:40 +0000

Team Lions for Hope joined 1,400 walkers in San Francisco on a beautiful, sunny day for the third annual City of Hope Walk for Hope to Cure Breast Cancer. Our team raised almost $8,000, but we have until the end of the year to raise our goal of $10,000. In these economic times, it’s hard to raise funds, but breast cancer doesn’t go away in hard times. City of Hope needs our help now more than ever, so please go to www.tinyurl.com/2009lionsforhope and donate your City of Hope dollars specifically for breast cancer research. It affects 1 out of 8 women, and all of us when it’s a loved one or dear friend. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so please help us achieve our goal. It will benefit City of Hope, it will benefit Lions, and it will benefit all the women we know who have bravely battled this disease.

It was my honor and privilege to be one of four California District Governors to be given the Quick Start Ginkgo Award by International President Eberhard Wirfs, and one of 57 governors worldwide. This special recognition was for 2009-2010 district governors who extended clubs before August 30th, 2009 and was presented by International President Wirfs at the USA/Canada Forum in Memphis, Tennessee. Each district governor that qualified received a special plaque and a mention in LION Magazine.

Congratulations to IPDG Marlene Duffin, PCS Karen Fillmore, RC Hugh Donagher and the team of coordinating Lions of 4C6 for qualifying 4C6 for the Quick Start Ginkgo Award by chartering the Mountain View Silicon Valley Lions Club and the Willow Glen Lions Club before August 30, 2009.

We received a copy of a letter District Governor Ken Ibarra sent to Lions in District 4-C4 encouraging them to participate and support the City of Hope Walk for Hope to Cure Breast Cancer in San Francisco on October 3 at Justin Hermann Plaza for a leisurely easy walk along The Embarcadero for 3 miles. Click here to read Governor Ken’s letter to members of District 4-C4. With their participation we can show what Lions can do in support of a cause as important to all Lions as defeating breast cancer in our lifetime through research and treatment at City of Hope, an LCI-sanctioned project.

Linda Pugliese — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:07:43 +0000

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in the success of the Installation of Officers and the Cabinet Meeting this past weekend in Santa Cruz at the Elks Lodge: to PDG Larry Hidalgo for all his hard work in putting together the program; to CST Jean Westcott for help with the agenda; to my club, Scales of Justice, for greeting guests and taking tickets; to CST Jean Westcott and RC Maureen Moore for the table decorations; to Lion Suzie DeUnger for preparing the visiting guest gift baskets; to RC Hugh Donagher for assistance with media; to Dr. “Doc” Christine Vigil for District photography; to Lion Carla Evans for the program printing; to ZC Gerry Stasko for the ticket printing; to RC Maureen Moore who arrived at 7:30 am to help set up the room and was in charge of being sure everyone signed in and helped with cleanup; to ZC Bud Westcott who arrived also at 7:30 to help set up the room and was in charge of selling Directories and Pins all day and helped with cleanup; to ZC Maria Suber who helped with the Directory and Pin sales; to PCT Lila Johnson who handed out the President/Secretary packets; to PCST Jim Goodheart who manned the badge pickup desk until he had to work as Tailtwister; and to Five Star Catering for the wonderful menu Saturday night.

Many thanks go to PID Dr. Bill Iannaccone for taking time out of a busy schedule and making my installation a most memorable one, complete with props. The marble horse head statue will be with me at all District meetings. Thank you for your inspiring and informative message to the Lions of 4-C6.

And thank you to my visiting District Governor, Marty Van Zandt from 4-C2, for traveling all the way from Eureka to be with us. Thank you for being part of an enjoyable weekend and for the kind words you imparted to the members of our District.

I’d like to especially thank Santa Cruz Host Lions for providing the refreshments and beverages and for taking the time out of your Sunday morning to set it up for the cabinet meeting. Early arriving Lions were grateful for the coffee, juice, doughnuts, muffins and fruit. I neglected to thank you at the cabinet meeting and I wish to convey my sincere appreciation for a job well done.

Thanks go to our presenters in the cabinet training sessions: PDG Steve Brown for President training; RC Hugh Donagher for Region and Zone training; Lion Tim Musselman for Secretary/Treasurer training; and PCT Lila Johnson for White Cane training.

And thank you, Lions of 4-C6, for participating in the cabinet meeting and training. You are the spokes that keep the wheels moving. I look forward to serving with you as your District Governor in this Lionistic year and carrying out the theme of International President Eberhard Wirfs “Move to Grow.”
