I was wondering if you could send me about 10 newsletters for the Ridgewater Club. We are starting off things slow again this year but I know we will be doing gangbusters really soon.

Could you please send them to my home address which is as follows: 313 10th ST NW, Willmar, MN 56201. Thanx so much for your help and keep up the fabulous leadership direction.

Tell me more about how it works and I may be able to point you in the right direction?? Are you a Lions club or what kind of club are you?? < replied-to message removed by QT >

Our club would like to host a Racing Homer Pigeon race with proceeds to go to benefit children in some way and at the same time promote our sport. All proceeds will be for charity. Who would we need to talk to? Our club is based out of Wadena, MN. This is new to us, and we would like it to be done right, so we thought of the Lions. The thought was to have a 100 mile race with business's or organizations or individual people to be sponsors.

Thanks to all the Lions, Lioness, and guests who attended our Mid Winter Convention this past weekend at Alexandria! There were many positive comments, and everyone seemed to have a very good time! I appreciate all the warm greetings and words of support, as I go forth as District Governor for 2002-2003. I'm looking forward to the International Convention in Osaka, Japan and will do my best to represent
our district well in the upcoming year in our multiple.
Again, thanks to all! 5M4 Lions are Greaaaaaaaaaaatttt!!

Check out the Governor's newsletter section of the website. And also the Midwinter Convention section. Pass the word around to your clubs. Thank you.

Good suggestion Deb! We'll see what we can do. It may not be in the same format of the newsletter but should be able to get all the same content on the web. Any other suggestions people have we would love to hear them. Keep surfing this site to see other new items and the sharing of idea's and events.

I haven't been into the web site for a couple of weeks (maybe a little longer). These recent changes are great!!! I have a request to make. Is it possible to get the Governor's newsletter posted to the website? Since Bob and I are not on the cabinet this year, we don't get a copy and we forget to ask our club president to see the copy they receive.

Lion Cathy Plath,
Just want to say I'm proud of the work your doing your son and fellow Lion member. Keep up the good work!!!!!

The Bird Island Lioness are planning a Night of Caroling on Saturday, Dec. 15. We are meeting at Gunner's Refuge at 7:00 pm and will be transported our version of a sleigh, to various locations in town. We have be having a warming up party afterward at the Refuge. Bring a dish to share if you'd like. Costumes are optional and are available at Cosmos Costumes. Please contact me with any questions at 365-4027 or Jean Bruns at 365-4588. Hope to see you there!

Visit the new 5M4 discussion forum on www.5m4lions.org. It is intended to voice your opionon or give insight to others on how your club works and grows or reason's you think it doesn't grow. Please tell your other lions members about the forum. As more people are aware of the forum it could really be fun and helpful. Also it would really help if you could spread the word about this message center and tell them how they can get E-mail of any postings by subscribing at the top of the message board. If anyone has any questoins just E-mail lionbsheehan@lionsmd5m.org at the bottom of each screen for help.

Lion Brian,
Just a note of Congratulations! I have been checking regularly, and I'm amazed at the constant changes being
made as the web site progresses!! Great Job for 5M Lions!

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Keep an eye out for the new 5M4 website coming soon. Any suggestions my fellow lions, lioness and leos may have please let me know. bsheehan@rccbi.com

I will copy your message and forward it to our guest speaker at last weeks meeting
He is a dentist doing work in Haiti. He is a Rotarian and has built a clinic in a town in Haiti.
He came to our club with a slide show presentation. You can bet we will be getting involved. One of our own members is traveling to Haiti in January to help build more space for the clinics.

Thanks for the info. and I will pass it along. They send a cargo container of mdse down to this village when their container is full. Guess the shipping fees are quite high, but they have alot of good donors.

Donated Dental Equipment and Disaster Relief

I have been in contact with Lion Jim Brown from MD 25. 317-656-8899 jhbrown@agcin.org

Someone who wants to donate all of the equipment from a dental office - chair, X-ray, all of the tools has approached him. Would like it to go to a Lions project either in international or US. Must be a project that benefits the poor.

The equipment is sitting in a cargo container in donated space in a freight yard.

Any ideas on Lions doing dental work?

Please let me and Lion Brown know if we can put this valuable equipment to good use.

Also, if interested in making a donation to the victims of last weeks disaster, go to www.lcif.org. LCIF is supporting the Lions in New York and Washington DC in meeting tremendous local needs.

Warm Regards,

most of them to Minn. Our Club would therefore be pleased
to establish a Twinning Club contact with a Club in Minn.

City relation. Could we have some fruitful contact?
Yours in Lionism
Gunnar
