Lions 'check' in with boosters, and Dr. Maz stops by.

At the Tuesday Nov. 15th meeting of your Vermilion Lions Club we were honored to have special guest Vermilion Chiropractor. Dr. Maziar Nejad. Dr. Maz explained to members the various treatment options at Vermilion's Health Source and also answered many health related questions.

We are very honored to have great guests like Dr. Maz stop in and share with us their professional experience.

Also, at the meeting the Vermilion Athletic and Band booster representatives were presented with a check for their share of the proceeds of our "Football and French Fries" chuckwagon, which was at every Sailor home game and garnered great support from the town. Half of the proceeds go to helping those less fortunate as Lions Club helps support many great causes in Vermilion, and the other half helps with kids in support of band and athletics. We are very proud to help as all the labor for Football and FrenchFries is volunteered.

Thank you Vermilion for your great support!

Sailors come home to the warmth of French Fries!

Tonight the Sailors return to take on Rocky River, and so does the Lions Club with our delicious French Fries at the Sailor Stadium.

Judge Zack Dolyk stops by for tips on Will power...

At the Vermilion Lions Club meeting of Tuesday the the 16th our special guest and speaker was Vermilion Municipal Court Judge Zack Dolyk.

Judge Dolyk spoke to the Lions briefly about some of the trends in crimes seen before his court, and then at length about preparing your estate to be passed on to family.

Several examples were given from living wills, to power of attorney and various methods of estate planning followed by a lengthy question and answer period as Lions Members had many questions on the topic.

We are grateful to the judge for taking time to share with our club his wisdom and experience.

A word from Lions International...We Serve Worldwide!

This year promises to be one of great success as we build upon our recent achievements. Last year, we witnessed our Lions' generous financial support, especially by giving more than US$18 million for Japan disaster relief. Overall, donations were up by 46 percent from the previous year!

This next year, your Foundation hopes to continue this generous support for our disaster relief efforts as well as supporting our undesignated fund in order to give hope to even more people worldwide. We will also focus on building our partnerships in new areas of service.

Judy and I are excited to work with all of you this year to further the efforts of our Lions Clubs International Foundation. During the last three years, we have seen first-hand the amazing impact we are having through our Foundation on countless lives worldwide.

Early last year, in Osaka, Japan, I saw how we are providing job training for the blind, and in Nebraska, USA, I witnessed young athletes benefiting from improved sight through our Opening Eyes partnership with Special Olympics. These are only two examples of the impact our Foundation is making.

You may recall that my theme last year was "Beacon of Hope." I can tell you that it is only through your generous donations that our Foundation is truly a Beacon of Hope, and with President Tam's theme of "I Believe," I do truly believe we can change even more lives this year. I look forward to providing you with an update on our disaster relief efforts in my next message. This week Judy and I will be traveling to Joplin, Missouri, USA, to see the needed assistance that is being given there.

Serving together,

Sid L. Scruggs, III

Chairperson, Lions Clubs International Foundation
