Don't forget to bring your toiletries/personal care items for the "Bathe Them in Beauty" program. See you there, DG C. David Lloyd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bathe Them in Beauty For the past several years the Lions of District 35-R have collected necessity items for the Bathe Them in Beauty campaign. This year we are inviting the Lions Clubs of District 35-I to participate in this project. The items include soap, shampoo, deodorant, lotion, shaving cream, razors, and other items for personal care. The items can be hotel/motel samples or retail sales items. The purpose of the drive is to distribute these items to needy individuals in assisted living facilities. These people include the elderly, disabled veterans, and handicapped individuals. There is a great need, and the items are put to good use. This year I am also encouraging donations of underwear for the disabled veterans. They don't have underwear or even enough wheel chairs to go around. Please bring these items to the joint district 35R & I cabinet meeting to be held on Saturday, March 20 at the Lighthouse of Pinellas Watson Center in Largo, FL. Thanks for your assistance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2010 Southeastern Lions Leadership Institute Cover Letter 2010 Southeastern Lions Leadership Institute Application Process 2010 Southeastern Lions Leadership Institute Nomination Form 2010 Southeastern Lions Leadership Institute Application Form ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ District 35-R Haiti Earthquake Relief Project Lions Clubs of District 35-R, The MD-35 Council of Governors, in coordination with ID Neil Spencer and LCIF, has approved a coordinated MD-35 assistance and relief project for the victims of the devastating earthquake in Haiti. LCIF has advised that monetary contributions are vital at this time to purchase the supplies needed to assist in the rescue efforts. LCIF has awarded a $50,000 Major Catastrophe Grant to help provide for immediate needs for victims following the devastating 7.0 earthquake on January 12. LCIF is in contact with Lions leadership in the area, to assess the situation and determine immediate needs and how Lions and LCIF can best assist. I urge all Lions Clubs in District 35-R to participate in the Multiple District project by making donations, no matter how large or how small. Monetary donations should be made by check payable to Multiple Districtd-35, with a notation that the money is for the "LCIF Haiti Earthquake Relief” fund. I have appointed 1st Vice District Governor John Carbaugh to Chair this project for District 35-R, in coordination with our LCIF, Disaster Relief, and Zone Chairs. You may send your checks directly to him, or bring them to the Cabinet Meeting on January 23 at the Florida Lions Camp, where we will "kick-off" this relief program. We will then forward the checks to the MD-35 Office Manager. Alternatively, clubs may send a donation directly to LCIF noting that it is for Haiti Earthquake Relief. But please let me know of your donation. As with past disasters, Lions worldwide are supporting LCIF relief efforts in Haiti. Within 48 hours, Lions worldwide had pledged nearly $250,000 to help. You may keep track of these efforts at this LCIF link: http://www.lionsclubs.org/EN/news-and-events/newsroom/release-96.php In addition to monetary donations, MD-35 Lions of Florida and The Bahamas will be collecting medical and relief supplies listed below for eventual shipment to Haiti. Any club or Lion who wishes to donate any of the items are encouraged to bring them to the Cabinet Meeting on January 23. All items gathered will be combined with other Multiple District donations and shipped when arrangements are finalized. The items suggested are: MEDICAL SUPPLIES OTHER ITEMS The Lions of Florida and the Bahamas are committed to providing humanitarian services in support of this disaster and you are encouraged to seek publicity for your efforts by sending news of your support along with Lions' and LCIF's response to the local media. Thank you! DG C.
