                            WEST VIRGINIA LIONS DISTRICT 29-I
                                         Volume 1 #9 March 2013

                        MESSAGE FROM DISTRICT GOVERNOR BARB FISHEL

At the beginning of this year, our International President Wayne Madden challenged all of our clubs to set
goals and to conduct four “pit stops” during the year to determine if our clubs were on schedule in
accomplishing the goals that we had established. We are now in the third “pit stop” of this Lion year. Has
your club met the goals that you set out to achieve? What did those goals involve? Did we strive to increase
membership within our clubs or did we promise to do more service projects to better serve the communities
we live in? Whatever your goals were, your club still has time to work on completing the goals that were set.
 I challenge our Lions to continue working hard during the remaining four months of this Lion year to meet
the goals set not only for our clubs but for each of us as a Lion.

Our clubs should also be concentrating on the election of new officers for next year. The role of leadership
should not be taken lightly when considering who will lead our clubs during the coming year. We need to
make sure we elect those who are willing to serve our club in the most effective way. Strong leadership makes
for a strong club. Strong clubs are the movers and shakers in our organization. These are the clubs that we
need to pattern ourselves after in making sure our club is meeting the needs of our members and our
communities. Please ensure that your club secretary has completed the PU 101 with complete names,
addresses, and email addresses of your incoming officers. This PU 101 should then be sent to Lions
International and your incoming District Governor, George Quinn.

Spring officially begins on March 20. This is the time of year that our clubs are now busy making final plans
for their Spring fund raisers and service projects. Lions International has given us areas to consider when we
make plans for activities. These areas of consideration are: Involving our LEO’s and youth in developing
their skills in leading a service project; organizing an activity to benefit the visually impaired in our
communities; and collecting and distributing food to help alleviate hunger in our communities. In April,
Lions are encouraged to work on projects that improve and protect our environment. If our clubs are working
on any of these projects, then we are busy doing the work that Lions do best – Serving the needs of others!

This is also the time of year to think about recognizing those Lions who have gone out of their way to make
our clubs successful. The Melvin Jones Award and the Leonard Jarrett Award are excellent ways to honor our
hard working Lions. If your club has not yet given a donation to LCIF (Lions Clubs International Foundation)
or to the WVLSCF (West Virginia Lions Sight Conservation Foundation), now is the perfect time to do so.
A donation of $1,000.00 to either one of these programs allows your club to name a deserving Lion to receive
this award.

Until next time…………
THANKS FOR SERVING!

DG BARB FISHEL

SECOND THOUGHTS
                   by Second Vice District Governor: Doug Long

                         I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the Lions throughout the
                    state that helped to make this year’s Leadership School a success. It is always good
                    to meet lions eager to learn, both new and old. Several of the clubs in our district
                    were well represented. I would love to see even more next year. Please encourage
                    the members in your club who will be stepping into leadership roles, in the next
                 several years, to attend next year’s school. I would also encourage you to be well
represented at the state convention and fall conference. Sharing ideas and listening to other lions
about their concerns make us stronger and more effective.

     I was on the drive home from Leadership School in Flatwoods, thinking about the weekend and
the work we do and I began to think about “secrets.” I don’t believe secrets are a good thing in the
Lion’s world. I have had several lions ask me what ingredients are in our Lion’s chicken sauce. I
know, because I always make the sauce when we cook chicken. I however, can only think of one
other member of our club who may know the recipe. I do not believe that this is a good secret to
have. In my mind, it would be a good idea to be sure that responsible club members also have access
to this information. Would it be so terrible to give the recipe to another Lions club?

      In speaking to other Lions throughout our District and State it has become apparent to me that
we all too often hold on to information that needs to be shared with others. I would like to discuss
some “secrets” that could apply to YOU: How many of you have club members who are the only one
that knows the whereabouts of club belongings? Do you have members that have chaired the same
committee for so long that no one else could run a project or program? Does your club keep
individuals in the same offices year after year? Do you keep internal conflicts within your club
(We all have them) to yourself? Do you discuss prospective new members with other club members?
 I strongly believe that these topics are “secrets” that we as lions should not keep. If these questions
hit home with you, then maybe it is time to address some issues. Here are a few of my thoughts. First,
establish co-chairs for committees. Include younger lions in this process. Second, establish mentoring
Lions who can show other lions how things are done. How about “a secretary or treasurer in training”
along with vice presidents? Thirdly, does your club use a prospective new member list and share it at
meetings? Lastly, do you bring controversial topics or bad feelings to someone else for help or do you
just internalize them? Often a good healthy discussion is the answer.

       Remember that we are all Lions and we do the things we do to serve others. We have the same
purpose! Let’s not keep secrets but share them. What could it hurt?

WEST VIRGINIA YOUTH TRAVEL ABROAD
        Six youth from around West Virginia will travel to Italy or Peru this summer as part of
the Lions Youth Camps and Exchange program. Madeline Durate from District L will travel to
Peru. District I’s Corey Shetler will go to Italy. From District O, Katherine Ratliff will visit Italy
as will Kaitlin Chinn. District N’s Kait Cantley will go to Italy and Kaitlin Keene will visit Peru.
Each of these youth will receive a travel grant from the contributions local clubs made to the
youth exchange program in the Parade of Checks at the District Conferences. This program
helps to promote world peace and understanding while giving the youth an important,
sometimes life-changing experience.

      There is another way that Lions and non-Lions families can participate in this youth
exchange program. That is by providing a home for visitors coming from abroad. The visit is
typically for four weeks; It is not required that you have a youth living in your home. This year
homes are needed for youth coming from Italy and Finland. If interested please contact the
youth exchange chair, Lion Sue Via @ (304) 772-5273.




                                           From L to R: Madeline, Kaitlin Keen, Kait,

MD 29 HAS MERIT PEACE POSTER WINNER

Congratulations! The Jane Lew Lions Club’s sponsored entry created by Courtney
Lough has been chosen as a merit award winner in the 26th annual Lions
International Peace Poster Contest.

About 400,000 children from 55 countries participated in this year’s Peace Poster
Contest. The posters were judged at club, district and multiple district levels before
reaching the international level, at which point they had been narrowed down to
117 posters. Based on creativity, originality and portrayal of the theme, “Imagine
Peace”, Courtney’s entry was chosen as one of 23 merit award winners. She will
receive $500 and a certificate of merit.

Courtney was a student at Robert L. Bland Middle School where she entered the
contest. She is a 6th grader and has enjoyed art since she was very young. She loves
to draw animals and flowers. Her entry was a pair of military boots with ID tags
hanging from them and a pair of pink bunny slippers next to them. The military boots
symbolize that Dad is home from serving in the Army. The bunny slippers symbolize
all the little girls who are waiting for their dads to come home. She was inspired to
draw this poster because her Dad had served in the Army National Guard.

Peace, to Courtney, “means that everyone should have the opportunity to live in a
world without strife or at least be able to reach an agreement without weapons”.
The 23 merit award winners are from Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Cyprus, Ecuador,
Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Nigeria, Phillipines, Republic of South Africa, and the
United States (Alaska, Hawaii, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon and West Virginia).
The grand prize winner is 13-year-old Jenny Park from California. Information about
the grand prize winner is posted on the Peace Poster section of the LCI website.

The Lions of MD 29 congratulate Courtney on a great job. We are so pleased to have
her represent us and we thank her for participating in the Peace Poster Contest.

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE WV SCHOOL
                  FOR THE DEAF AND THE BLIND IN ROMNEY, WV?
                            by Lion Roy Knight, Secretary, Romney Lions Club

If you read local papers or the Charleston papers you may have heard and seen that discussions are being
held about the removal of the 149-year old school for the deaf and blind in Romney, WV.

Many issues have been sited including having the school in a more centralized and urban area, new
buildings and facilities, etc. Those of us who live in this area have seen the contribution that this school
makes to the Potomac Highlands area and vice versa. The Romney Lions Club has requested along with
numerous businesses, civic groups, and citizens to keep the school situated where it is. We would
encourage other Lions Clubs in West Virginia to join us in sending letters or petitions to the WV State
Board of Education, to Senator Donald Cookman, and to the Governor. Websites will provide you the
proper mailing addresses.

In 1870, the West Virginia Legislature established the Schools for the Deaf and the Blind in Romney.
This followed an offer consisting of the buildings and the grounds of the Romney Literary Society. The
first school term began Thursday, September 29, 1870, with an enrollment of twenty-five deaf and five
blind students.

Through the years, additional buildings and grounds were added to accommodate the increasing
enrollment. Currently the main campus consists of sixteen major buildings situated on 79 acres of land.

The West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and the Blind hold a special place in the history of this state, this
county and community. The school has been crucial in the economic development of this area, as well as
the drawing card for many wonderful individuals and families who have come to call Romney their
permanent home.

We are proud that the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and the Blind has provided quality educational
services to more than four thousand eight hundred children. These schools continue to serve as a
residential and day school program, and also offer expanded pre-school services and technical assistance
throughout the state. West Virginia Lions have been instrumental in helping students learn work skills as
well earning spending money through the WV Lions Work Program and have also provided opportunities
to ski and fish through the WV Deaf & Blind Recreation Program.

Please write today as a club or as an individual Lion to keep the school in tact, in place, and in Romney.
DISTRICT CONTESTS UPDATE
        In an effort to encourage more clubs to participate in the District Contests, the District 29 I Contest
Chairperson Buck Ferguson has proposed that we name a “Club of the Month”. The club that is the most involved in
 Lions projects and activities during that month would be eligible to win the award for that month. Clubs can win
only one time during the contest year. We will also go back to the beginning of the Lion year, July, to begin selecting
  the winning club. The award will be presented to the winning club by either the Contests Chairperson, the Zone

  • 1. International Association of Lions Clubs District Governor Barbara Fishel WEST VIRGINIA LIONS DISTRICT 29-I Volume 1 #9 March 2013 MESSAGE FROM DISTRICT GOVERNOR BARB FISHEL At the beginning of this year, our International President Wayne Madden challenged all of our clubs to set goals and to conduct four “pit stops” during the year to determine if our clubs were on schedule in accomplishing the goals that we had established. We are now in the third “pit stop” of this Lion year. Has your club met the goals that you set out to achieve? What did those goals involve? Did we strive to increase membership within our clubs or did we promise to do more service projects to better serve the communities we live in? Whatever your goals were, your club still has time to work on completing the goals that were set. I challenge our Lions to continue working hard during the remaining four months of this Lion year to meet the goals set not only for our clubs but for each of us as a Lion. Our clubs should also be concentrating on the election of new officers for next year. The role of leadership should not be taken lightly when considering who will lead our clubs during the coming year. We need to make sure we elect those who are willing to serve our club in the most effective way. Strong leadership makes for a strong club. Strong clubs are the movers and shakers in our organization. These are the clubs that we need to pattern ourselves after in making sure our club is meeting the needs of our members and our communities. Please ensure that your club secretary has completed the PU 101 with complete names, addresses, and email addresses of your incoming officers. This PU 101 should then be sent to Lions International and your incoming District Governor, George Quinn. Spring officially begins on March 20. This is the time of year that our clubs are now busy making final plans for their Spring fund raisers and service projects. Lions International has given us areas to consider when we make plans for activities. These areas of consideration are: Involving our LEO’s and youth in developing their skills in leading a service project; organizing an activity to benefit the visually impaired in our communities; and collecting and distributing food to help alleviate hunger in our communities. In April, Lions are encouraged to work on projects that improve and protect our environment. If our clubs are working on any of these projects, then we are busy doing the work that Lions do best – Serving the needs of others! This is also the time of year to think about recognizing those Lions who have gone out of their way to make our clubs successful. The Melvin Jones Award and the Leonard Jarrett Award are excellent ways to honor our hard working Lions. If your club has not yet given a donation to LCIF (Lions Clubs International Foundation) or to the WVLSCF (West Virginia Lions Sight Conservation Foundation), now is the perfect time to do so. A donation of $1,000.00 to either one of these programs allows your club to name a deserving Lion to receive this award. Until next time………… THANKS FOR SERVING! DG BARB FISHEL Blessings
  • 2. SECOND THOUGHTS by Second Vice District Governor: Doug Long I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the Lions throughout the state that helped to make this year’s Leadership School a success. It is always good to meet lions eager to learn, both new and old. Several of the clubs in our district were well represented. I would love to see even more next year. Please encourage the members in your club who will be stepping into leadership roles, in the next several years, to attend next year’s school. I would also encourage you to be well represented at the state convention and fall conference. Sharing ideas and listening to other lions about their concerns make us stronger and more effective. I was on the drive home from Leadership School in Flatwoods, thinking about the weekend and the work we do and I began to think about “secrets.” I don’t believe secrets are a good thing in the Lion’s world. I have had several lions ask me what ingredients are in our Lion’s chicken sauce. I know, because I always make the sauce when we cook chicken. I however, can only think of one other member of our club who may know the recipe. I do not believe that this is a good secret to have. In my mind, it would be a good idea to be sure that responsible club members also have access to this information. Would it be so terrible to give the recipe to another Lions club? In speaking to other Lions throughout our District and State it has become apparent to me that we all too often hold on to information that needs to be shared with others. I would like to discuss some “secrets” that could apply to YOU: How many of you have club members who are the only one that knows the whereabouts of club belongings? Do you have members that have chaired the same committee for so long that no one else could run a project or program? Does your club keep individuals in the same offices year after year? Do you keep internal conflicts within your club (We all have them) to yourself? Do you discuss prospective new members with other club members? I strongly believe that these topics are “secrets” that we as lions should not keep. If these questions hit home with you, then maybe it is time to address some issues. Here are a few of my thoughts. First, establish co-chairs for committees. Include younger lions in this process. Second, establish mentoring Lions who can show other lions how things are done. How about “a secretary or treasurer in training” along with vice presidents? Thirdly, does your club use a prospective new member list and share it at meetings? Lastly, do you bring controversial topics or bad feelings to someone else for help or do you just internalize them? Often a good healthy discussion is the answer. Remember that we are all Lions and we do the things we do to serve others. We have the same purpose! Let’s not keep secrets but share them. What could it hurt?

  • 6. WEST VIRGINIA YOUTH TRAVEL ABROAD Six youth from around West Virginia will travel to Italy or Peru this summer as part of the Lions Youth Camps and Exchange program. Madeline Durate from District L will travel to Peru. District I’s Corey Shetler will go to Italy. From District O, Katherine Ratliff will visit Italy as will Kaitlin Chinn. District N’s Kait Cantley will go to Italy and Kaitlin Keene will visit Peru. Each of these youth will receive a travel grant from the contributions local clubs made to the youth exchange program in the Parade of Checks at the District Conferences. This program helps to promote world peace and understanding while giving the youth an important, sometimes life-changing experience. There is another way that Lions and non-Lions families can participate in this youth exchange program. That is by providing a home for visitors coming from abroad. The visit is typically for four weeks; It is not required that you have a youth living in your home. This year homes are needed for youth coming from Italy and Finland. If interested please contact the youth exchange chair, Lion Sue Via @ (304) 772-5273.

  • 10. MD 29 HAS MERIT PEACE POSTER WINNER Congratulations! The Jane Lew Lions Club’s sponsored entry created by Courtney Lough has been chosen as a merit award winner in the 26th annual Lions International Peace Poster Contest. About 400,000 children from 55 countries participated in this year’s Peace Poster Contest. The posters were judged at club, district and multiple district levels before reaching the international level, at which point they had been narrowed down to 117 posters. Based on creativity, originality and portrayal of the theme, “Imagine Peace”, Courtney’s entry was chosen as one of 23 merit award winners. She will receive $500 and a certificate of merit. Courtney was a student at Robert L. Bland Middle School where she entered the contest. She is a 6th grader and has enjoyed art since she was very young. She loves to draw animals and flowers. Her entry was a pair of military boots with ID tags hanging from them and a pair of pink bunny slippers next to them. The military boots symbolize that Dad is home from serving in the Army. The bunny slippers symbolize all the little girls who are waiting for their dads to come home. She was inspired to draw this poster because her Dad had served in the Army National Guard. Peace, to Courtney, “means that everyone should have the opportunity to live in a world without strife or at least be able to reach an agreement without weapons”. The 23 merit award winners are from Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Cyprus, Ecuador, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Nigeria, Phillipines, Republic of South Africa, and the United States (Alaska, Hawaii, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon and West Virginia). The grand prize winner is 13-year-old Jenny Park from California. Information about the grand prize winner is posted on the Peace Poster section of the LCI website. The Lions of MD 29 congratulate Courtney on a great job. We are so pleased to have her represent us and we thank her for participating in the Peace Poster Contest. Submitted by: CC Patty Nutter
  • 11. WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE WV SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND THE BLIND IN ROMNEY, WV? by Lion Roy Knight, Secretary, Romney Lions Club If you read local papers or the Charleston papers you may have heard and seen that discussions are being held about the removal of the 149-year old school for the deaf and blind in Romney, WV. Many issues have been sited including having the school in a more centralized and urban area, new buildings and facilities, etc. Those of us who live in this area have seen the contribution that this school makes to the Potomac Highlands area and vice versa. The Romney Lions Club has requested along with numerous businesses, civic groups, and citizens to keep the school situated where it is. We would encourage other Lions Clubs in West Virginia to join us in sending letters or petitions to the WV State Board of Education, to Senator Donald Cookman, and to the Governor. Websites will provide you the proper mailing addresses. In 1870, the West Virginia Legislature established the Schools for the Deaf and the Blind in Romney. This followed an offer consisting of the buildings and the grounds of the Romney Literary Society. The first school term began Thursday, September 29, 1870, with an enrollment of twenty-five deaf and five blind students. Through the years, additional buildings and grounds were added to accommodate the increasing enrollment. Currently the main campus consists of sixteen major buildings situated on 79 acres of land. The West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and the Blind hold a special place in the history of this state, this county and community. The school has been crucial in the economic development of this area, as well as the drawing card for many wonderful individuals and families who have come to call Romney their permanent home. We are proud that the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and the Blind has provided quality educational services to more than four thousand eight hundred children. These schools continue to serve as a residential and day school program, and also offer expanded pre-school services and technical assistance throughout the state. West Virginia Lions have been instrumental in helping students learn work skills as well earning spending money through the WV Lions Work Program and have also provided opportunities to ski and fish through the WV Deaf & Blind Recreation Program. Please write today as a club or as an individual Lion to keep the school in tact, in place, and in Romney.
  • 12. DISTRICT CONTESTS UPDATE In an effort to encourage more clubs to participate in the District Contests, the District 29 I Contest Chairperson Buck Ferguson has proposed that we name a “Club of the Month”. The club that is the most involved in Lions projects and activities during that month would be eligible to win the award for that month. Clubs can win only one time during the contest year. We will also go back to the beginning of the Lion year, July, to begin selecting the winning club. The award will be presented to the winning club by either the Contests Chairperson, the Zone Chair, or the District Governor. The winner will also be announced in the district newsletter each month. All you need to do is report all of your clubs activities and projects during the month on the Activities Report and send them to the Contests Chairperson Buck Ferguson, 211 Hice Street, Belington, WV, 26250.
