Greetings Brother and Sister Lions, Lionesses and Leos!
I am really glad to see that spring has finally arrived.
Spring always means better weather and that Lion clubs
service projects and fundraisers will be in full swing. Being
active always brings Lions together. We all know that
when Lions gather, good things happen and one of the
best rewards is having fun while helping others. Please
remember to work safely and represent our motto with pride and integrity.
Membership in the district currently stands at a -38. The district has added 124
new members this Lion year which is GREAT! The bad part of the membership
count is the 162 drops. An even sadder fact is that the district has lost 34 of our
family of Lions to death. The loss of our fellow Brothers and Sisters leaves a void
that can never be filled. These family members are truly missed.
Retention…this is so important to our district. Let’s all pull together and try to keep
our “pride” involved and active. “MMFI”…remember our training by LCI’s Recruiter
PDG Jim Canon. Make Me Feel Important! If we succeed in doing this one thing in
our clubs we will grow our membership. The Global Leadership and Global Membership Teams are available and ready to work along with you. All you need to do is
“Ask.”
Please keep the Centennial Challenge in mind. At the present time we have twelve
(12) clubs who have qualified for the diamond award. Let’s raise the standard by
having ALL 57 clubs in the district achieving this award. I am certain EACH club can
meet the four areas of this challenge: Vision, Youth, Hunger and Environment.
Leader Dog Banquets are coming up this month, April 20-23. Leader Dog has always been a champion in Multiple District 22. Last year our district was Number Five
in the world in giving. Giving the blind their vision back through the eyes of a Leader
Dog is what “Knights of the Blind” is all about. Remember we will have auctions at
all of the banquets. Please bring an item(s) and invite your family and friends. This
is an excellent way to introduce a person to this great organization. Hearing and
seeing firsthand of the impact a Leader Dog makes in a person’s life is worth its
weight in gold.

The last cabinet meeting of my term as your District Governor was Saturday, March 28. This year has just flown by. I do
thank you for all of your help and support. Your efforts and hospitality will never be forgotten. This is one of the reasons
why District 22W remains strong. We are always willing to lend a hand…no matter what the task.
The time is now to use your new membership application. Ask a neighbor, a co-worker, a friend to join the world’s largest service organization.
A reminder of the Melvin Jones Banquet on April 11. Remember to send in your PU 101 before April 30.

EASTER SYMBOLS!
EASTER BUNNY: There is a story from Germany about how the Easter Bunny became a
part of the Easter holiday. A woman hid very
colorful Easter eggs outdoors. Her children
went out to hunt for them. As they were going
out, they saw a rabbit hop by. From that moment, her children thought the rabbit brought
the Easter eggs.
EGGS: Eggs symbolize the new life that returns
to nature during the spring. The egg is a symbol of
fertility and immortality. Christians also view it as a
reminder of the tomb from which Jesus Christ
arose . Early Christians used red colored eggs to
symbolize the Resurrection.

WANDA MAE
SETTLE ROBY
MEMORIUM
Lion Wanda Mae Roby passed away on March 4th at her
home after being diagnosed with a Stage 4 abdominal
tumor and given a week to live. She lived for three
months after that, determined not to miss Christmas or
family birthdays. Every night she prayed to God for one
more day and every morning she thanked Him!
The Hagerstown Herald in the “A Life Remembered” column describes her: “People gravitated to Wanda Roby.
The neighborhood children flocked to the Roby family’s
yard ... she was particularly drawn to the kids who didn’t
quite fit in, the ones who were the rebels. ‘She liked everybody’’ her husband quoted.”
She was one of ten siblings and a favorite aunt who was
always available to help with advice. She and her husband, Jim, attended the same school from the grade of
seven until they graduated. Their first date was in the
11th grade when he took her to a dance and claimed she
had “three left feet. I was trouble,” Jim is quoted as saying. “She straightened me up.” Growing up in the “rough
part” of Cumberland he claimed that she was the reason
he didn’t end up dead or in jail. She even had him going
to church!
“Wanda was a shy bookworm and Jim helped bring her
out of her shell.” They lived in the same house in Hagerstown for 50 years. As a mother she was especially supportive always involved in her children’s activities.
She was a member of the Eastern Star in Hagerstown,
the Lions Club in Chewsville, MD, West Hagerstown Lions Club, and the International Order of Jobs Daughters
Bethel 26 of Hagerstown. She was an active member of
St. Andrew’s United Methodist Church for 50 years. She
volunteered at Repeat Performance Thrift Shop of the
Meritus Auxiliary (where a plaque will be placed in her
honor) in Hagerstown and at Hospice of Washington
County.
She had been employed as a secretary at Fort Hill High
School, a lunch aide at Pangborn Elementary School and
her “dream job” for 22 years at Washington County Free
Library.
Wanda is survived by her husband of 61 years, James L.
Roby, Jr.; two daughters Lisa L. Roby, Tamera J. Bailey
and husband John.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Hospice of
Washington County, 747 Northern Avenue, Hagerstown,
MD 21743 or St. Andrew’s United Methodist Church.
TINA LOUISE (CUMMINGS)
GORMLEY
Lion Tina died on Wednesday, March 4, 2015,
at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
Born in Frostburg on Jan. 9, 1958, she was the
daughter of the late James P. Cummings Sr.,
and Helen (Fuller) Cummings.
Tina was a member of St. Michael Catholic
Church where she served as a Cantor and a Eucharistic Minister. She was the Treasurer for the
Performing Arts Parents Association at Mountain
Ridge High School and she was a member of
the Frostburg Lions Club. Tina was also a member of the National Federation of the Blind. She
worked at the U.S. Customs and Drug Enforcement Administration.
Tina was a 100% sweet person and she will be
missed. “WE SERVE” was her middle name.
A Mass of Christian burial was celebrated at St.
Michael Catholic Church on Tuesday, March 10,
2015. She is survived by her husband, Patrick
Gormley, and her daughter, Andrea Gormley, of
Frostburg; her brother, James P. Cummings Jr.
and wife, Mary Ann, of Frostburg; her sisters,
Jessie Stevenson of Frostburg, and Jeta Ewing
of Cresaptown. She is also survived by five nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Andrea’s Education Fund

LION ANTHONY "TONY" LOCASCIO
LION BILL BOYD
The Westminster Lions Club is sad to report the

Lions Club reports the death of Lion Bill Boyd on
March 13, 2015 at York Hospital.
passing of Lion Anthony “Tony” A. Locascio, age 68,
on March 22nd, following complications from a stroke.
He was the loving and devoted husband of Lion Susan Dell Locascio (also a member and Secretary of
Westminster Lions Club), his wife of 41 years.
Tony retired in 2002 from Baltimore Gas and Electric
Company and worked for Dutterer's Florist Shop in
Westminster. He and his wife owned and operated the
Charmed Traveler travel agency. Tony was a 1964
graduate of St. John Catholic High School in Westminster and was a veteran of the U.S. Army serving
during the Vietnam era. He was a member of St. John
Catholic Church. He enjoyed collecting antiques, fishing, and shopping on eBay. He loved his pet rescue
cocker spaniels, Harley, Mandy, and Katie.
Tony first became a Lion with the Roaring Run Lions
Club where he served as President and on the Board
of Directors. Tony transferred to the Westminster Club
and served as the Eyeglass Chairman, and on the
Board of Directors. He also served in almost all Club
Committees and positions. Tony exemplified the ideals of Lions Clubs International, in all respects. He
was a dedicated Lion who rarely missed a meeting or
function and was always available to provide good
counsel and advice to new Lions and Club Officers.
Westminster Lions Club members attended a special
ceremony at the viewing and several members attended the funeral. We extend our sympathies to Lion Susan. Tony will be sorely missed..
Sympathies may be sent to his wife Lion Susan at 440
Sycamore Avenue, Westminster MD 21157.
JOHN GARNER
Mr. Garner, father of Taneytown Lions’ first Vice President, Mike Garner, passed away on Monday, March
23rd. Funeral Services were held at the United
Church of Christ, Taneytown, Friday, March 27th.
Mike and Jennifer's address is 146 Sullivan Rd.,
Westminster, MD 21158.
Lion Bill was a member for over 37 years and
had served as our club president for the 19821983 Lions year. He was presented with a Melvin Jones Fellow Award in April 1994 for his dedicated humanitarian service to the club and community.
He is survived by his wife of 49 years Janet, and
daughter Elizabeth Louise Thompson and husband Chris, son James Alan Boyd and wife
Christina, grandchildren Bruce Boyd, and Katie
and Janet Thompson.
The Freedom District Lions Club conducted a
memorial service at 3:30pm on Wednesday
(March 18th) at the funeral home. Graveside
services were held at Lake View Memorial Park,
2724 Liberty Road with military honors.
HELEN “ROBBIE” ZEIGLER
Robbie Zeigler, wife of Middletown Lions member, Corky Zeigler, died on March 13th. A much
loved and well-known teacher at Middletown
High for over 30 years, she loved taking her students to events throughout the area. She loved
to travel and made several trips to Europe with
her students. She volunteered at Frederick Memorial Hospital in the gift shop for over twenty
years. Robbie was a member of Christ Reformed
UCC, in Middletown, and taught the Loyalty
Class in the Sunday school for over thirty years.
Members of the class still call themselves her
kids!
Surviving is her husband of 67 years, their son,
Richard and wife Karen, their daughter Marda
Blain and husband Ron, and beloved their grandchildren.
Memorial contributions may be made to Christ

LEO CORNER
THURMONT MIDDLE SCHOOL (TMS)
LEO CLUB
Submitted by Lion Joyce Anthony,
Club Advisor
The Leos have been very busy collecting coats and blankets
to support their January project. The Leo’s collected a total
of 237 coats and blankets. A huge ‘thank you’ to the JerMae Estates Community, Weller Church, Thurmont Lions
Club, students, parents, teachers. friends, etc. for their support of this heart-warming project. Thank you letters have
been sent to these supportive individuals and organizations.
A special thanks goes to Lion Club Advisor Joyce Anthony
for picking up the items, storing them at her house and delivering them to their destination. When all the coats and blankets were gathered, they filled a room in her house.
During the February meeting, the Leo’s jumped rope and
shot hoops to raise funds for the American Heart Association. Elementary and middle school students engage in
these activities while empowering themselves to improve
their own health and helping other kids with heart-health
issues. The Leo’s raised $365. Congratulations to another
successful fundraiser!
On February 13th the Thurmont Regional Library co-hosted
a Valentine’s Day Party at the Thurmont Senior Center.
The TMS and CHS Leos helped the seniors make crafts and
valentines and enjoyed treats and snacks with them. Everyone enjoyed the party with lots to eat.
At the March 4th meeting, the TMS Leo’s kicked off their
campaign on “Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Pennies for Patients” program. Tricia Sturm, Senior Campaign Manager for School and Youth, talked about how
the program works and showed short film clips how the
funds help children with cancer. Students will collect
spare change, etc. to benefit LLS and to show the TMS
Leos can make a difference. The project will continue
through the month of April. The club’s goal is $2,015 for
the year 2015. Last year the Leo’s raised $2,495.
The “2015 Leo of the Year” was selected by the Leo’s
themselves.
Each Leo voted by secret ballot as to
which Leo deserved to receive this honor. The winner

DISTRICT 22-W 2015-2016 TERM
FOUNDATON’S
“POT-OF-GOLD SWEEPSTAKES”
Submitted by DPG & Fundraising Committee Chairman Robert C. Disinger
The Lions Youth Foundation of Multiple District 22
will again sponsor the “Pot of Gold Sweepstakes” for
2015. The tickets are $4.00 each or three for
$10.00. You will help the Lions Youth Foundation
raise additional money that will then be used to provide grants to Lions Clubs for youth related projects.
Everyone has a chance to win. Sellers of winning
tickets will be paid a 10% sellers bonus. For example, should you sell the winning $2,500 ticket you will
win $250.00. This includes any tickets you sell to
yourself. By placing your name and information on
the reverse side of the ticket stub before turning both
the money and the stub into your club’s Pot of Gold
coordinator, you automatically become eligible for
the bonus. Last year I sold myself a $250.00 winner
and a $500.00 winning ticket to someone else. I received the $250.00 prize award and a winner’s bonus on both of the tickets of $75.00! So, as you can
see it pays to both sell and play!
Additionally, each Lions Club will also be paid a 40%
bonus on the total number of tickets sold by
their club. For example a club has 35 members. If
each member sells just $10.00 worth of tickets for a
total of $350.00 in sales, the club gets back $140.00
from the LYF to use in any way they desire. So
please, make an effort to either sell or purchase
these tickets. In addition if you need more tickets,
simply contact me at 301-418-1041 or email me at
[email protected] and I will get you more. Make
all checks payable to the “MD22 LYF” and return
your sold stubs and money to your club’s Pot of Gold
coordinator as soon as possible. All tickets and
money must be returned to the LYF prior to the Multiple District Convention in May.
The drawing will take place at the LYF breakfast at
the Multiple District Convention on Thursday, May
21, 2015. Please DO NOT confuse the Lions Youth
Foundation (LYF) with the Lions Clubs International
Foundation (LCIF). Thank you.
Training for all club officers for 2015-2016 including
presidents,
vice-presidents,
secretaries,
treasurers, membership chairs, zone chairs, and
region chairs will be conducted at:

EYE TESTING DISTRICT 22-W
“SUCCESS” & GLASSES
District 22-W Preschool Vision Screening
Chair, Lion Elwood Glass, reported there were,
to date, 127 screening sessions in the District
with 2369 children screened and 239 referred
for professional evaluation.
Eighteen Lions
Clubs, and one Lioness Club in the District
preformed preschool eye testing.
Sight-Conservation Chairperson for Region III, Lion
Bob Martin (a member of the Myersville Lions Club)
along with Myersville Lions Ellen Crutchley and Phyl
Thompson worked with Project Success students in
Walkersville. Each of the Success students, who
range in age from 18-21, has completed high school.
Some are homeless while a few live in a loving family. This program teaches them job and life skills with
an aim toward their being able to live independently
and hold a job. Those who are able will graduate and
be able to live on their own while others will always
need assistance.
The LaVale Lions Club reports that they have
tested a total of 627 students with 78 referrals
for the year.
On February 3rd and 4th, the Taylorsville Windfield
Lions Preschool Vision Screening Committee ,
Chair Gary Peltier, Lions Viki Peltier, Eileen
Disinger and 2VP Barbara Brimigion, screened 87
preschoolers from ages 3 years to 5 years at the
St. James Preschool in Mt Airy. There were 4 referrals.

When Lion Bob comes to school to work with them
the students help to separate the glasses, cases,
and sunglasses collected by District 22-W Lions.
(The glasses etc. will eventually be shipped and used
by people who have never had glasses and are unable to afford them.)
Through the initiative of Lion Bob Martin, not only are
glasses provided to the needy, but these students
are given an opportunity to help others with their efforts. Needless to say some students are able to accomplish a lot more than others but every one of
them contributes what they are able to.
The recent project was enormous involving the counting and packing of thousands of eye glass cases. The
cases came from the Lonaconing Lions Club and
were donated by a business which had closed.
One student, a girl, stood out from the others, because of her infectious attitude. She started slowly
taking the cases one by one from the box. Carefully
she lined them up counting up to five. When she
completed her count, she had a huge smile, and she
clapped her hands in delight. She made certain the
adults saw what she had done asking for the reward
of a big bear hug...each time! By the end of the session when she counted up to ten for the first time, her
delight knew no bounds! She made the Lions day!

TAYLORSVILLE-WINFIELD
LIONS CLUB
The Taylorsville-Winfield Lions Club presented
their annual flag program at Winfield Elementary
School on March 26th for all the students in fifth
grade under the direction of Chair Viki Peltier with
committee members Barbara Brimigion, Forrest
Hudspeth, Gary Peltier, and Bob Davis.
Julianna Albowicz, Special Assistant to Senator
Barbara Mikulski and Robin Summerfield, Field
Representative for Senator Ben Cardin, presented
an American flag to the school. Lion Forrest gave
an explanation of Lionism with a summary of our
service projects.
The Lions demonstrated how to fold the American
flag. Selected children from each class had the
opportunity to fold a flag with the help of the Lions.
The children enjoyed seeing their teachers also
fold the flag in front of the entire assembly and
they discovered that it is not an easy task!
Chair Viki changed the program this year and incorporated a “Flag Jeopardy” game for the children to play. Each fifth grade student was given a
bag containing a desk-top flag and a base that
was made by Lion Mel Wroten along with information about the flag and our Lions club. The children were very interested and enthusiastic about
the flag program and answered all of the questions in the Flag Jeopardy game correctly. The
students’ excitement during the program made it a
very enjoyable time for the flag committee!

CALLING ALL 22-W LIONS!
National Memorial Day Parade!!!!!
This is the seventh year the Lions of Multiple Districts 22 and 24 (Maryland, Virginia, Delaware
and the District of Columbia) have marched down Constitution Avenue in our nation’s capital
past the Washington Monument and the White House in the National Memorial Day parade. The
past two years, District 22-W’s participation has been down - this is not like our district. All
clubs are urged to survey all members of their club. This event will not take a big effort from
your club - all that is needed is one or two members to carry your banner. The parade committee supplies light, plastic poles for attaching your banner. If your club sponsors a LEO club, get
them involved!
This has become the largest PR event on the East Coast! We hope those who have marched
with us in the past will do so this year and we look forward to many clubs who have not marched
before joining us this year.
With your participation and banner we can show the 500,000 people lining Constitution Avenue a
very magnificent “Sea of Purple”.
