“LET’S GO TO MILWAUKEE”
International President Sid L. Scruggs III
Introduces A BEACON of HOPE Theme for 2010-2011

International President Sid L. Scruggs III

Sid L. Scruggs, of Vass, North Carolina “The Flyin' Lion” is a retired military and commercial airline pilot and a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy.

Using as his presidential theme Beacon of Hope, President Scruggs will make service to others the focal point of his presidency.

President Scruggs and his wife, Judy, also a Lion, have 4 children and 16 grandchildren. The Scruggs have shared a full life and Lions have been a big part of that. “The difference for me with Lions is that it’s hands-on. I can go back and recount the stories of the difference we made in people’s lives. Lions are Beacons of Hope. People see things as they are. Lions are different. We see things as they can be.

July 2010 Diabetes Awareness Update

Kirby The Wonder DogHello everyone,

It is very important you get the consent forms returned to 2ndVDG Norma Callahan as soon as you finish your screening. We are in process of writing a report for Lions Clubs International Foundation.

We are requesting that you not stockpile supplies. We are not getting as many strips at this time as the donations to the diabetic camp have been reduced. After mid August when camp is done we will have a better idea on our need for consumable supplies as we may need to purchase strips.

Please keep in mind not to waste or keep more supplies then you need and if possible share when you can. We will be looking at Websites and companies to see what kind of pricing we can get. As it stands right now there is no problem with lancets. Enjoy your summer and keep safe.

The Lion Granny Grunt Challenge

Florida Lions CampThis morning was typical until we entered the Florida Lions Camp. The camp was radiating life, love and laughter the minute we came into the main hall to witness the End-of-the-Week Camp Show, put on by the campers who attended this past week.

Lion Don and I are from the Dade City-Heritage Park Lions Club and we made the trip to deliver a van full of wish list items requested in an e-mail from the camp.

I myself have been to the camp several times in the past, but had not had the opportunity to visit when campers was in session. This was Lion Don's first experience.

We sat in awe and watched as very special children performed acts of song, dance, etc, better than we could do at any age. They were full of life, and it was emanating through-out the building.Read more...
