Greetings Lions, Lioness and Leos,
I hope everyone who could attend our District 27-E1 Convention had a
good time. There were some very informing seminars to go to. We had International Director Esther LaMothe and her traveling companion from the State
of Michigan attend. ID Esther LaMothe had a very informative session.
There were also many other sessions you could have sat in on. Mr. Carl Olson (The Energizer) also talked on trying to keep all of us Lions, Lioness and
Leo’s energized in what we do. Remember we could always use a little recharge in our batteries.

Thanks to everyone who bought a raffle ticket for a chance on the quilt that
I made and displayed at each of my club visits. Lion Ken and I raised a total
of $3,065 which was sent to the Wisconsin Lions Foundation to support the
Lions Camp at Rosholt. The winner of the quilt drawing was Lion Dan Petrus

LCI GRANT AWARDED TO DISTRICT 27-E1
District 27-E1 was awarded a Disaster Preparedness Grant in the amount of
$8600. This grant is a result of the work of PCC Bill Taubman who was principal
in forming the Wisconsin Lions Missions(WLM) sponsored Lions Emergency Response Team (LERT).
The LERT is a described as a group of Wisconsin Lions willing to respond on short
notice to natural disasters as they may occur in the US. They work in collaboration with Lions from the affected area doing preventive, clean-up, salvage and repair work. Emergencies to which the LERT would respond are identified by the
WLM leadership team. At both the district and state level the WLM leadership
would involve ALERT chairs in efforts that might be of interest to both.
Go to page 8 of this Newsletter to volunteer and be a part of LERT.
