FROM THE DISTRICT GOVERNOR
MESSAGE FROM THE DISTRICT GOVERNOR
Greetings Lions, Lionesses, and LEOs,
My year of service as your District Governor has certainly gone quickly. Only a handful of Club visitations
remain. The visitations are a fun way of meeting my fellow Lions and learning about all of the different fund raisers and
service projects we provide to our local communities. Keep-up the good work.
All of this “good work” requires the time of our members. And more members mean that we as Lions can
provide much more to our service areas. Please continue to make membership a priority. The LCIF web site,
http://www.lionsclubs.org/EN/index.php has been re-designed to make it easier to find information including ideas on
increasing our membership. In addition, International President Joe Preston focused on membership in the April Lions magazine
(see page 4 & 36).
The District 14-C convention will be held at Wyndham Gardens Hotel, 2000 Loucks Road in York on April 25. See
pages 2 thru 4 for more detailed information. As I mentioned in my March message, the guest speaker will be Alan T.
“Ted” Reiver, Past International Director from Wilmington, Delaware. Please remember to submit your registration form
for the convention by the April 15 deadline.
First Vice District Governor John Griffie is busy preparing for his upcoming year of service. Included in this
newsletter on page 5 is a form for placing advertisements in the 2015/2016 Directory. The forms need to be completed
by May 23.
I look forward to seeing many of you at the District Convention.
Yours in Lionism,
DG Lois Jean Mundorff

MESSAGE FROM THE VICE DISTRICT GOVERNOR
Dear Lions, Lionesses, and Leos:
My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed attending the recent Club Anniversaries and Zone Socials held thus far.
We are really looking forward to meeting more of our fellow Lions, Lioness and Leos at the upcoming District and State
Conventions! Let's make these events a success for Lionism. The more people we have at these events the better! It is
extremely important to get out and fellowship with other Lions. It is amazing how many great ideas come
from networking with members of other clubs. I encourage each of our Zones to work together and come up with a
Zone Project that the clubs within the Zone can work together and support each other with one common goal.
Be a Game Changer - together we can do great things!!!
Yours in Lionism,
John Griffie Jr - Vice District Governor 14-C
DISTRICT CONVENTION INFORMATION
The Wyndham Garden Hotel was previously the Holiday Inn Conference Center of York.
The Jump Start Basic Breakfast Buffet is served from 6:30AM–10:30AM and includes:
A waffle station (make your own)
Muffins, Cinnamon buns, Oat meal, Fruit, Granola type cereal, Yogurt
Bread (a toaster is available), Juice and coffee
Other breakfast items are available at additional cost to you.
If you have a room at the hotel Friday night (4/24/2015) the Jump Start Basic Breakfast buffet is complementary.
Lunch is a soup and sandwich buffet. (The sandwich is actually a wrap.)
DISTRICT CONVENTION ATTENDEES
Your district convention committee has provided time during the convention for anyone who would be willing to
give their opinion about what they think could make our district or a zone or even a club run more efficiently. It could be
something your club is doing that works really well. You will get at least five minutes to present your idea and another
five minutes to answer questions. If you have an idea about a better way to handle an administrative duty at any level
and you would be willing to share please contact PDG George Reisinger at [email protected] or call 266-1923. We
have two speakers at this time and are looking for more. Please let me know what your subject will be so we will not
have more than one Lion or Lioness address us on the same subject. This time is not for announcements about fund
raisers or community service projects.

District Convention Committee,

The Annual District 14-C Spring Work Weekend will be held on April 10, 11 and 12, 2015. Come join us for work, fun,
fellowship and contribute to your LIONS CAMP. The purpose of this activity is to ready the camp for the coming camping
season. One of the projects for the weekend will be building the miniature golf course and having it ready for the
camping season.
Beacon Lodge will provide meals and lodging along with bedding for the weekend. All that you need to provide are your
work clothes, work gloves, washcloth and your personal items. Plan to arrive Friday evening, April 10th or by 7:00 AM
Saturday, April 11th. We will work until lunch on Sunday and leave for home after lunch.
As always, the accomplishment of this activity depends on Lions willing to give their time and efforts. Please encourage
the Lions to participate in this important service activity.
It is very important that the staff at camp know how many will be attending so that they can order sufficient food and
prepare accommodations. They need to know the exact number to expect. Please call me by April 1, 2015. Do not
hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. My phone number is 717-650-2966 and my email is
[email protected] . This weekend will be limited to the first 40 Lions who register. To register please call me so I can
notify the camp the numbers attending this service project. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE CAMP!!!
