What happened to this Lions year? It has evaporated with many things yet to do. State convention coming up in middle of May and don t forget to apply for Melvin Jones Fellowships by June 1. District Gov goals should be paid by June 1. Thank You Lions of Distict 14-D for making this year a year to remember. Remember as Lions we do the little things in life and in Lions to show others that a Life of Service is a life worth living Being a Lion is not a chore it s not an obligation It s something we look forward to. It is in giving we receive. Abe Lincoln said, In the end, it s not the years in your life that count, it s the Life in your Years Throughout life people will make you mad Disrespect you and treat you bad Let God deal with the things they do Because hate in your heart will consume you too Alone we can do so little Together we can do so much As a Club, as a District As a State, and as Lions International District Governor, Dale High

PAGE 4 DISTRICT 14 - DETAILS May 2017 Thoughts from the 1st Vice District Governor, Bill Brown April was so filled with many activities. Presidents Honor Night was great, and District D convention was so informative. The Necrology was so beautifully done. We went to Lancaster Lions 94th Charter night. It was an Irish Theme. We loved that, because my wife and I are Irish! May is a busy month also: May 1st Blood drive by Mountville Lions Club 1:00pm-6:30mp at Trinity Reformed UCC Mountville May 6th Mountville Lions Club 70th Charter Night May 13th District 14-D Rock-For-Sight at Oregon Dairy May 19th-21st State Convention at Seven Springs Remember to spruce up your club signs along the highways and streets.

PAGE 9 DISTRICT 14 - DETAILS May 2017 Centennial Service Challenge Goal for the Month of May is "Preserving Lions Spirit". Preserving Lions Spirit through fellowship, listening, and trying new ideas. Without fellowships there is not productive clubs. Listen to others, there maybe great ideas for membership growth, and great fundraisers And, be open to new ideas, or old ideas. They may have not worked in the past, but try again. It may just work out this time. ROAR, LIONS, ROAR. " Chance makes our parents, but choice makes friends" Quote by : Jacques Delille Everyday I'm glad I made my choice to be a Lion. And, met great Lions, Lionesses, and Leo friends. Of which, I cherish their friendship. So proud of the clubs in District 14-D Keep reporting your Centennial Service Challenges, Community Service, and Legacies.

While we will not be in the path of the total solar eclipse, the sun will be 77% occluded by the moon in the Harrisburg area. Looking at the sun with the naked eye can cause permanent damage to the retina but using the correct protection can make direct viewing of the sun safe! The Greater Lebanon Valley Lions Club will be selling eclipse glasses that will allow you to safely view the sun for $2 each!
