A Few Memories from 70 Years of Fun, Frivolity and Lions’ Service

In preparation for the North Carolina Lions 2020 State Convention, PID Lacy Presnell made his book, “A Few Memories from 70 Years of Fun, Frivolity and Lions’ Service” available.  He has stated “I simply want every VIP and every Lion who wants one to have a copy of my book.”  Unfortunately, due to the CoVid 19 Pandemic, PID Lacy’s book got very little exposure.
 
Fortunately, PID Lacy’s Excellent book on being a Lion can be found on the District 31S website, HERE.
 
This is a must read book for Lions & VIPs.  If you have ever heard PID Lacy speak, you Will recognize his wit, wisdom, and good humor in this book. We recommend you read PID Lacy’s book, and share it with others.  The pdf on the website is screen reader friendly, so you can also share it with any people who are blind or have low vision.

Together we can do so much more!

Virtual Mid-Winter Convention

This year we had our first ever Virtual Mid-Winter Convention.  This was accomplished by creating a pre-recorded video covering certain parts of the convention, voting by email and concluded with a Zoom meeting for the Cabinet meeting and address from the International Director. 

If you were unable to attend the event this past weekend do not fret!  We recorded the Zoom meeting as well and have made all of the materials available to you here.

Pre-Recorded video – Approximately 34 minutes

Zoom Meeting Passcode: *RiJL7?g –  Approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes.

First Flight Storage Shed Fire

The photos were taken this morning of the First Flight Lions Club Storage Shed behind our building. It caught fire and burned after midnight last night (Wednesday). Wheel chairs, brooms, etc., are gone. Kill Devil Hills Fire Marshal is still investigating. Thanks to Lions Ron Curtis and Bill Grogg for staying with this and their help in accessing the damages.

Calling All Administrators

We need your help!  You probably already know that District 31S has a web site (http://NCLions31S.org) and although it has tremendous potential we are not yet taking full advantage it and it needs some information updates.  To remedy this situation, as IT Committee Chair I am seeking volunteers to join the IT Committee and help update our web site. 

You are probably wondering what that would involve so allow me to elaborate just a bit.  Off the top of my head, I can see needs for people who can author or edit articles for web posts, collect information about clubs in the district (like their websites and meeting times) and help keep information on the web site up to date, keep an eye on the calendar and make sure that the calendar gets updated with accurate information as it becomes available, and other tasks as well.  And if you have suggestions we would like to hear those as well.

Depending on your level of skill and comfort with technology I will do my best to find a good role for anyone who is willing to help!  Even if you have no technical skill at all and just want to help collect information and email someone else to update it online, we can still use your help. 

One of the advantages of serving on the IT Committee is that all of the work can be done from the comfort of your own home and all of our meetings will be online so there will be no travel requirements at all.

If you are interested in learning more, please contact me:  Lion John Lynde, by email at: jlyndepsu@yahoo.com, or call me at 919-924-9169 but please try to avoid calling during regular work hours.
