2018 – 2019 CLUB VISITATION PROGRAMME
As is our policy the DG will cover 50% of the club visitation programme with the remaining 50% shared
between the First Vice District Governor and the Second Vice District Governor. This is a very intense
programme and we aim to have different personnel than in previous years visit. Because of the logistics of
our large geographical area this is not always possible. Likewise we try to get consecutive meetings when
larger travel distances are involved.
The visiting member will be in contact with the clubs as soon as possible. However if the date allocated to
you does not suit please contact them as soon as possible. As the address will only be 20 minutes in length
we are comfortable for the meeting date to be a tea or business meeting where most members are
present. Preferably, there will be no other guest speaker that same evening. The Club is expected to pay
the cost of the meal for the DG/FVDG/SVDG and their partner or driver.

District Governor Helen
Welcome to this the 102nd year of Lions. It is indeed a privilege for
me to be serving our District 202 E in the position of District
Governor for the 2018 – 2019 year. I look forward to working
alongside you for the next 12 months. There is much to do to keep
our District working effectively and growing in strength as we strive
to meet the increasing needs within our communities.
Malcolm and I enjoyed our time away at DGE School and the World Convention in Las Vegas. It was full on
with 3 days at school – listening, learning and working with 30 of my fellow DGE’s from Constitutional Area
7. This was followed by 3½ days of Convention along with 15,000 Lions. Hearing about the service
activities of other Lions in different countries was very motivating but we did not enjoy so much the 40+
degree temperatures, smokey casino walk throughs and the waiting queues.
We have been challenged to move our organization forward “BEYOND THE HORIZON” using creativity and
innovation to change obstacles into opportunities and developing new projects so that we work towards
our global goal of: ‘Serving 200 million people each year by 2021’.
In order to achieve this goal it is obvious that we will need more volunteers to help us, forming
partnerships with other groups within our communities, and increasing our own membership numbers.
We are urged to continue to meet the needs of our own unique communities ensuring our projects are still
relevant. Around the world we are united by our global causes: vision, hunger, the environment,
childhood cancer and diabetes. The statistics for these causes are sobering reading. This should be
balanced with fun and fellowship and looking after each other. MAKE FELLOWSHIP SHINE WITHIN YOUR
CLUB.
Lions Clubs International Foundation is celebrating its 50th anniversary and is using this milestone to launch
Campaign 100. The aim is to raise a capital fund of US$300 million over a 3 year period. These funds will
generate sources of income which will be available to us all, in the form of various grants, to help us
achieve our service projects as well as responding to natural disasters.
The Global Action Team structure (from club level right up through to the International Board level) has
been designed to strengthen and provide support for us to set our goals and to convert our action plans
into successful service. At the club level the combined efforts of your Global Action Team Leader, Global
Leadership Team chairman, Global Membership Team chairman and Global Service Team chairman,
supported by all club members should generate a greater outcome than the sum of the individual parts.
Fellow Lions - You are encouraged to attend the upcoming Club Development and Orientation days to
learn and network. The more informed and upskilled we are the more effective we can be, the more
impact we can make in our communities.

President Gudrun Yngvadottir
We are embarking on an incredible voyage together. It will be guided by
our motto and my theme, “We Serve,” and by your commitment to
service, hope and human dignity. No one has a greater role to play in
achieving success than you. I ask you to be confident and decisive as you
lead your district into a new year in which our ambition will be matched
only by our innovation.
In Las Vegas, we discussed our priorities for the year, and identified
chartering new clubs as a key to success. I want you to focus on
chartering new clubs in the first quarter so we can get off to a fast start to
the year. To reward you for your hard work, I will be sharing awards opportunities throughout the year to
recognize you and the efforts of your leaders who are helping you achieve your goals.
We have so much to accomplish this year—strengthening our membership, serving our Global Causes,
supporting Campaign 100 and more. I look forward to working with you to achieve our goals so we can
advance the service mission of our incredible association and serve as a beacon to the world.
Together, we can reach new frontiers of service that lie beyond the horizon.
In friendship,
Gudrun Yngvadottir
Your International President

HEALTH TIP
As we age we can develop problems without feet due to wear and tear of
joints and skin becoming thin and less elastic, dry and more fragile.
As we only have one pair of feet, good foot care is important to maintain our
mobility, sporting and social activities that are important for health and well-
being.
exercise tones up muscles, helps to strengthen arches and stimulates
blood circulation
keeping toenails cut prevents soreness, infection and ulceration
daily checking and moisturizing (not between toes) keep skin supple
as we age we lose the fatty pads that cushion bottom of the foot so a supportive shock absorbing
shoe is best
a pair of running shoes provides a good amount of shock absorption and stability and supports the
arch.
keep feet warm with good quality socks (do not warm them too close to the fire) and bed socks at
night
shoes should be roomy enough to wear all day and if you have feet that swell over the day put your
shoes on when you first get up in the morning.
have an annual foot check with a podiatrist, problems such as diabetes and circulatory problems can
be picked up by looking at the feet.
if you cannot reach your feet to cut your toenails a podiatrist can do it for you to prevent problems

202E Convention Alert
22-24 February 2019, Hokitika
Hokitika Lions with the other West Coast Clubs is proud to host the 2019 202E Convention. We
encourage you to book accommodation NOW.
Please browse Hokitika.org or contact Hokitika I-site 03 755 6166
or enquiries@hokitikainfo.co.nz for a list of available places. Also
check Airbnb.com and Booking.com BOOK EARLY as this is the height of the season – BOOK
NOW!!!
In order to maximise your experience we have arranged tours for Lions, partners and families from
Friday afternoon. One will be a tour of the historic precinct of the town, concentrating on the
scenes from the Luminaries book - no, you don’t need to read the book! The second is a tour of our
venue, the Art Deco Regent Theatre. And the third is a tour of the Westland Industrial Heritage Park
concentrating on the joint Lions/Heritage Park/RSA restoration of a World War One ambulance. The
partners tours on Saturday offers the energetic option of the Tree-Top walkway and Hokitika Gorge,
or the more sedate Seddon Historic Tour including Hokitika and Kumara sites. On Sunday on your
way home, we’d like to show you the progress we’ve made with the restoration of the historic
Stafford Cemetery - This is a project that Hokitika Lions started in 2017 and has slowly progressed
with restoration of grave sites, headstones and removal of invasive vegetation. This would be of
interest to anyone involved in or considering a memorial restoration project – or if you’d like to
know more about the country’s history including a few notes on gravestone symbolism – what the
roses, angels and broken flowers actually mean.
And as the icing - all registrations including partner registrations, will receive a complimentary,
transferable ticket to the 30th anniversary Wildfoods festival to be held on 9 March 2019.
We look forward to your company. Registration forms will be available shortly.

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who
treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t, and believe that everything happens
for a reason. If you get the chance take it. If it changes your life let it. Nobody
said that it would be easy they just promised it would be worth it

SPEECHMAKER CONTESTS
To All Presidents, Secretaries and Lions Members 202E
DISTRICT
We have now completed both District finals for Emerging and Young Speechmaker which were held in
Christchurch in May and June. As we are all aware we are competing for students’ time versus their time
doing exams they have to do and also other things they opt to do. However, I have to make comment that
entries came in relatively early and all looked good and straightforward until there was a sudden change of
thinking or panic and with that came some withdrawals.
Results of the District round of Young Speechmaker were:
1st Place: Madina Miyakhel - Hillmorton High School Sponsored by New Brighton Lions
2nd Place: Pylgia Romero - Ellesmere College Sponsored by Selwyn Lions
3rd Place: Zoe Loffhagen - Rangiora High School Sponsored by Rangiora Lions
(Zoe is a Leo member)
MADINA MIYAKHEL is our District representative going through to the NZ YOUNG
SPEECHMAKER CONTEST FINAL on SATURDAY 4 AUGUST at RANGIORA HIGH
SCHOOL entrance is EAST BELT, RANGIORA.
The Rangiora Lions/Leos and Lioness clubs invite all District 202E club members to this National Contest.
Morning Tea and Lunch will be available for purchase. Christchurch and outlying clubs are asked to support
this by letting Zone Chairpersons 5,6,7,8 have an indication of numbers attending for catering purposes and
possible carpooling. Please note this on your calendar now and visit this lovely rural town of RANGIORA
and all that it offers. It is a 15-20 minute ride from Christchurch Airport.
TIMETABLE FOR THE DAY:
8.45am – 10.00am. Contestants Arrive, Morning Tea, Judges Briefing, Contestants Briefing
10.00am Call to Order, Prepared Speeches

Lions Club of Amberley District.
Another busy month for our Lions club with our Changeover night being the high light. After months of
planning we held a most enjoyable evening combined with the 40 th anniversary of our club. Ex members
came from far and wide. Peter Gamble our present District Governor attended and inducted our new
board. 1st VG Elect John Whyte and Zone Chairman Geoff and Sandra were also in attendance plus many
Lions from surrounding areas. We were served with a delicious 3 course meal. Our main entertainment for
the evening was Peter Rowley, who a lot of you will remember from Billie T and McPhail and Gadsby days.
Peter is an ex Amberley person so he also enjoyed returning to the area of his child hood. He was ably
backed up by Terry Kearns, who was a band member with Mark Anthony many years ago. Members of
Amberley Lions club held a ‘club meeting’ with a difference which was well received also. A great night all
round to mark this special occasion.
Wood chops have been our main stay lately. The club has continued to hold them throughout the winter as
we have been donated 3 different lots of trees lately and we have no trouble selling this. Luckily our wood
chop working bees are very well attended thanks to a small band of dedicated members.
Last Sunday Countdown held a market day where they held a Sausage Sizzle where they supplied
everything. All we had to do was turn up and cook the sausages and sell them and keep the profits. Many
thanks to our local Countdown for this. It worked two fold as we were able to sell our Lions/Plunket raffle
at the same time.
Projects we are working on at the moment are Rock n Wheels, where we have a gathering of classic cars
and a Fashion parade where 13 fashion shops will show their wares. These will both be held in September.
We have had 10 new members throughout the year but we are always looking for more to join us and
carry on our great work.

Senior’s Version of FACEBOOK
For those of my generation who do not, and cannot, comprehend why Facebook exists: I am trying to
make friends outside of Facebook while applying the same principals. Therefore, every day I walk down
the street and tell passers-by what I have eaten, how I feel at the moment, what I have done the night
before, what I will do later and with whom. I give them pictures of my family, my dog and of me
gardening, taking things apart in the garage, watering the lawn, standing in front of landmarks, driving
around town, having lunch, doing what anybody and everybody does every day. I also listen to their
conversations, give them “thumbs up” and tell them I “like” them. And it works just like Facebook. I
already have 4 people following me: 2 police officers, a private investigator and a psychiatrist.
Proper etiquette states the name tag should be worn above the
pocket on the right side of your shirt, blouse, or blazer. The key
thing to remember, as mentioned above, is that you want the
people you are meeting to be able to make direct eye contact
with you and closely see your name as you shake hands.
Akaroa and Bays Senior Citizens luncheon
Once again our Club hosted Akaroa and Bays Senior Citizens for our annual mid-year luncheon at the Grand
Hotel.
The luncheon is by invitation and 99 seniors accepted. One lady attending was 99 years old and is planning
to attend next year’s function. We fed and watered the senior citizens to an appetizing sit down meal with
entertainment throughout the afternoon. In addition, we handed out 10 prizes in the free raffle. The prizes
were kindly donated by our local Four Square Store
About 18 Lions and partners helped out with bar and waiter duties, serving the 2 course meal, and washing
the dishes. Big thanks to all who helped.

YOUR FOUNDATION
Share Your Passion for LCIF
There is an exciting new way for you to be involved with LCIF at the local level. By serving as a Club LCIF

Foundation’s work, motivate fellow Lions to support LCIF, and further LCIF’s mission. With support from
your District Coordinator and LCIF staff, you will help shape the future of LCIF. Talk to your club president
today if you are interested in becoming a Club LCIF Coordinator.
Exciting New Grant Projects Approved in May
More than 50 new grant projects were approved at the May Board
of Trustees meeting, including projects in every constitutional area.
Diabetes, Lions’ new signature cause, was the focus of several
grants, including one to establish camps and support groups for
adolescents in Romania. In Wisconsin, USA, a grant was approved to
purchase equipment for a cancer unit at a children’s hospital. A grant
awarded to Lions in Japan will help expand a school in Bangladesh. In addition, LCIF and Special Olympics
International agreed to renew their partnership until 2023, which means expanding upon the global
activities that serve Special Olympics athletes and promote inclusion. These are just a few examples of the
life-changing projects Lions are organizing around the world with support from LCIF.

ZONE 8 NEW AMBULANCE PROJECT
The LIONS Clubs of ,Ch-Ch Chinese , Ellesmere, Malvern, Rolleston, Selwyn and Halswell, recently had the
pleasure and satisfaction of presenting a cheque for $180 000.00 to the Selwyn Central St John, to put a
fully equipped Ambulance “ On the Road ” at Rolleston.
Zone 8 Chairman and Project manager, Bill Pickering said he was very proud of the effort everyone had made.
The journey started in Sept 2016, when St Johns new Headquarters building at Rolleston was well under way,
it then appeared they might also need, additional equipment.
When the Ch-Ch Chinese Lions Club of 23 members donated $13800.00 towards a New Ambulance at that
time, it was realised that if all Zone Clubs donated at that level, then presenting St John with an additional
ambulance, debt free was a possibility.
Dialogue with Chairman John Sunckell at St John, quickly established there was a growing need for
improved emergency response, centred around Rolleston and he welcomed LIONS proposal to help.
17
"Serve locally, give globally"202E July 2018 Bulletin Edition #1
John spoke to a meeting of Zone Clubs on St John aspirations and needs, explained how their Ambulance
service operated, the cost of a new Ambulance and when it could be delivered. He also detailed the signage
that could be offered to acknowledge the LIONS generosity.
John Benefield our 202-E, Lions Clubs International Foundation representative, assured the Zone Clubs that
an application for funding would qualify under L C I F Standard Grant Criteria. The Trustee for Lloyd Morgan
Lions Clubs Charitable Trust also felt the Project would qualify, with our NZ Trust.
Six clubs Ch-Ch- Chinese, Ellesmere, Malvern, Rolleston, Selwyn and Halswell, with a membership of over
300 Lions worked hard over the period on a variety of Fundraisers, cooking take-a-ways, catering, parking
cars, doing traffic control, running Bridge and Bowling tournaments, selling pea straw, Christmas trees,
firewood etc. to raise $71300.00
An appeal to large employers in and around Rolleston, resulted in local dairy farmer and Chairman of
Directors at Westland Dairy Company, Peter Morrison, donating $4000.00. Demonstrating their commitment
to Health and Safety and to Community needs.
By this time the Rolleston Club Treasurer had established a Trust account for funds on behalf of the Zone and
the Zone Chairman, had applied to both trusts for grants.
Lions Clubs International Foundation approved a Grant of $90 000.00 on June 8th, ensuring the success of the
project, towards the total cost of $180 000.00, needed to put a fully equipped Ambulance, “ On the Road “
at Rolleston complete with a Lions Emblem and acknowledging Donor Trusts and Clubs. Since then, the L M
L C C Trust, has also approved a grant
which will cover the balance needed.
The presentation Ceremony at Rolleston
on June 28th, attended by 30 Lions from
the Clubs involved enables all those
clubs to register their effort as a
Centenary Legacy Project Level Two,
“Donating a Vehicle to a Community
Organisation” and qualifying for
recognition by Lions International.
Responding, John Sunckell Chairman of
the Selwyn Central St John Hub at Rolleston, said they were absolutely delighted with the LIONS effort, which
would be a big help to St John’s ability to provide good service. He thought St John would have a New
Ambulance ready to be consecrated in September at a special service in Christchurch, with Lions fully
involved.
Yours in Lionism, Bill Pickering.

PEDIATRIC CANCER OVERVIEW
Children are a gift to the world, yet every two minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer and less
than half of the world’s children have access to effective care. Children who survive cancer are
often left with debilitating effects that can impact their physical development and ability to
learn. That’s why Lions and Leos are answering the call to expand access to life-saving
treatment and support the children and families who need us most. Lions Clubs International
are working to give children with cancer a second chance at life.
