On Oct. 11th the new Blaine Central Lions Club will be holding their Charter Night Ceremony. This will be a 1st class celebration of their new club. They MUST have responses as soon as possible. It is rare we have the opportunity to celebrate the beginning of a new club in Lions and it is the opportunity for a great night of Lionism. ID Debra Wasserman is the main speaker and a silent auction is scheduled along with an excellent meal. The price is only $28 per person and I am sure we will all get our moneys worth. You can contact Guiding Lion Wayne Johnson at 763-757-4831

The first week of March, 5M7 will be conducting an Extension Workshop with the LCI Global Membership Team representative. He will be talking about forming new clubs and conducting a session on becoming a Certified Guiding Lion. If you are interested, send me an email or call me and as soon as I have details, I will relay them to you.

Hi Lion Ginny!

The easiest way to do this is to build a new site hosted somewhere else. Then let me know the new site address and I will change the link on the 5M7 directory. How much if anything are you willing to pay for site hosting and annual registration fees? While there are sites that host for free, they are full of ads, some of them not appropriate for a community organization.

DG Jim

The North Branch Lions are in need of a new "corn stand." If anyone is aware of a concession stand for sale ($5,000 max), please give me a call 612-327-5872. Thank You P.S. watch the 5M7 Gram for pics of the bonfire!

The Blaine Lions are sad to announce the passing of Lion Glenn Muirhead. Lion Glenn was a long time member of our club and his presence will be sorely missed. Funeral arrangements are not yet firmed up, but I will post the details here for any Lions that want to pay their last respects to Lion Glenn

It appears the tornado in Hugo and Coon Rapids didn't get any Lions, but there was a lot of damage and one small life was lost in Hugo. This is a good time for clubs in 5M7 to take a look at the LCI ALERT program for Lions to get involved to help their communities with all the other First Responders. Go to the LCI website at "Lionsclubs.org" and type in ALERT under search.

It appears that PDG Larry is going to be OK. After some testing and feeling better, he is home again.

I received a message from PDG Ken Steies today saying that PDG Larry Kounkel has been taken to the hospital with possible stroke symptoms. More information to follow when available

I spoke with DG Mary Ellen tonight and found out that PDG Clay Storley may come home tomorrow.
Great news. Keep up the positive thoughts and prayers.

Do to the weather on Saturday the Livonia Twp. Lions canceled the Motorcycle "Ride for Better Vision" and rescheduled it for June 7th starting at 11am sign up, leaving KJ's Refuge Bar and Grill in Orrock at noon sharp.

There will be a silent auction and T-Shirts for sale.

The revised bylaws are now available! Thanks to PDG Ken Sties for sending them to me!

Welcome to the new Message Board. This is for all members of 5M7. A great way to pass on current and up to the date news, such as the Spring Schools of Instruction for your new club officers. It looks like the school in Andover will not have a session for Tail Twisters. We were not able to find anybody that could do it. I'm sure there are people that could do it, but we just didn't know about them. Sorry.
DGE Jim

Thanks Lion Jim Kelly
This will be a great help for the Lions, Lioness, Leo in our district to get information.
Hope we all use it in the best way.

Thanks
