 Membership
is Every Lion’s Responsibility
by Mahendra Amarasuriya
President, The International Association of Lions
Clubs
Is there anything on earth more precious and darling
than a baby? And what is more wrenching than a
severely ill baby with little chance of growing
up normal and healthy? Lions in Nairobi, Kenya,
are saving babies from such a fate. With help
from Lions Clubs International Foundation (which,
of course, means support from Lions such as yourself),
Lions in Kenya support a clinic for babies of
mothers infected with HIV. My wife, Kushi, and
I visited the clinic recently and we were overwhelmed
by the care and love these innocent babies receive.
I have always believed Lions are a great gift
to the world, but that visit made my heart swell
with immense pride and satisfaction.

 Regular
Clubs, Extraordinary Clubhouses
by Jay Copp
If you’ve seen one Lions clubhouse, you certainly
have not seen them all. Most clubs make do with
utilitarian quarters—tidy free-standing halls
or square rooms within multipurpose buildings.
These are perfectly fine. But a few clubs enjoy
spaces with marvelous vistas, distinctive architecture
or quirky histories. There are clubhouses and
then there are clubhouses with style, panache
and pizzazz.
So
here are some regular clubs gifted with unusual
clubhouses. Enjoy the view. The Lions of these
clubs certainly have for years.

 Reaping
What They Sow
Canadian Lions Aid Hungry in Developing Nations
by Jay Copp
The
late September morning broke cold and gray with
dreaded snowflakes and then potentially ruinous
rain—hardly ideal harvesting weather. “You
want it hot and sunny, so the wheat is dry and
it doesn’t jam the machines,” says Lion
Kevin Gibbons of Calgary, Alberta.

by Jay Copp
In the pancake wars, a Kiwanis club in North Dakota
is still the official champ. But the Lubbock Lions
in Texas unofficially flipped more flapjacks and
next year plan to earn back their top spot with
Guinness World Records.

 Second
Global Leo Conference Promises Creativity, Excitement
Think
of a family 144,000 members strong spread across
130 countries scheduling an international get-together
for the second time in 50 years, and it’s
understandable why Leos are so excited about the
second Global Leo Conference to be held during
the 91st Lions Clubs International Convention
in Bangkok, Thailand.
