Single District 10 Lions – Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Invitation

Dear fellow Lions, you are invited to participate in the creation of an exciting new committee in our District and Clubs. As you know, hunger and food insecurity continue to be a major problem in our communities. All of us work hard to ensure people have access to enough food, but the problem continues to grow. For this reason, we are asking you to participate in a “HUNGER ROUNDTABLE” discussion via Zoom June 24^th from 6pm – 8pm. This will the beginning of forming a Hunger Action Committee (HAC) with Lions Champions across the district doing our part in fighting HUNGER. This will be an opportunity to share your good ideas and hear about efforts in other clubs and communities. Please RSVP by responding to this email or if you have any questions, please contact Lion Gary @ 906-399-6233. We will send out a Zoom invite once we know all of the respondents.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Lion Gary

Membership Packets
As Global Membership Chair, I request packets from the International. When new members are posted on the International site, we print out certificates and letters from the Governor for both sponsor and new member. These are then mailed to the secretary or president of the club, and usually arrive within two days.
The packets also include information on Lions, a discount certificate from the Lions store, pins for both new member and sponsor, and a pen for the new member.
If you would like to receive the packets early, just email wnrowe@charter.net with the name of the new member, the name of the sponsor, and the date of the induction.
Global Membership Chair and PDG Bill Rowe

Negaunee MI – Mike Guenette of Negaunee is the winner of the 2021 Teal Lake Melt-Down.

The Teal Lake Melt-Down is a community fundraiser benefiting the Negaunee Lions Club and the Greater Ishpeming-Negaunee Area Chamber of Commerce.
