Hello M6 Lions! Lion Jim and I had a wonderful time in Milan for the
Convention, although it was HOT! We were blessed to be able to visit Venice
and Verona and saw allot of history, beautiful art and breathtaking cathedrals!
As we kick off this new Lion year, I stand ready to assist you and your clubs
however I may do so. Please feel free to contact me anytime.
                                       I hope you all had a wonderful
                                       Independence Day celebration – kudos to
                                       all our district clubs who provide holiday
                                       activities within their community! I was
                                       heartbroken to learn that we lost PDG Gordon and I know we will greatly
                                       miss him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and his Lions Club
                                       for their loss. Congrats to Lions PDG Dave and Marilyn on their recent
                                       move and we wish them well getting settled in their new home. Congrats
also to Lions Dawna Skaggs and Valerie Howe for attending the Great Plains Lions Leadership, as well as Lion
Marlene and the Leos who attended the Leos Forum this past week.
International President Dr. Choi’s theme is “Service Through Diversity”. I challenge you all to seek and befriend
those individuals who are different from you. Learn from them and discover the commonalities between those
individuals and yourself – you might be surprised! And invite them into our Lion world!

We’ll have a great year - I’m looking forward to seeing you all soon! Our
first cabinet meeting will be August 24th at the Cox Hospital Foster
Auditorium at 10:00 A.M.

                                    Yours in Lionism,
                                    DG Toni Morris

July/Aug 2019 - M6 Lions Club
District 26-M6 Lions,

                                       It’s a new LION Year!!!! So far since July 1 many things have happened! A
                                       few highlights are the Council of Governors meeting was held in
                                       Warrensburg Missouri, the All-Star Football game was played, two
                                       installation of officers were conducted, and I have met some AMAZING
                                       Lions!

                                      The Council of Governors meeting is where the District Governors, First
                                      Vice District Governors, and Second Vice District Governors as well as a
few other key people come together to work on the best possible course for all of our Missouri Lions. I had the
pleasure of spending it with my fellow First Vice District Governors plotting and planning how we will support
the current group of Governors on their journey and what we hope we can accomplish together next year
when it’s our turn to SERVE! As per usual the All-Star football game was H-O-T, both the blue and gold team
played well! The Monett and Aurora Lions Clubs called on me to conduct the installation of officers for their
new year……

This was nerve wracking!! Challenge accepted and what a JOY it really was. A little treasure I will carry with me
going forward was meeting Lion Art Gray from the Aurora club. Generally it is up to the visiting “dignitary” to
mingle with the lions of the club they are visiting, this for me is a huge obstacle as my personality says “Run,
Hide…..don’t make eye contact” Insert Lion Art, he came to me! He took the lead! I learned that he has been
faithfully serving the Aurora Club since 1961, he joined the Lions when he was 27 years old, he and his wife
collect old irons they have over 200 on display in their home, he also mentioned he remembered a District
Governor who carried a stuff lion around to gather
pins on. I spent the better part of twenty minutes
listening to Lion Art, what twenty minutes that was.
I saw in Lion Art what drives us all to be lions, an
earnest beckoning from his eyes to take the lead, to
serve without constraint and recognize a need
when it appears. Lion Art recognized, on some
level, I needed him!                                           ALL Lions are welcome to come to the Lions
                                                                       District M6 Cabinet Meetings.
This year as our District Governor Toni Morris
travels throughout our district remember she may                    On August 24, 2019 we will be at the
need you more than y’all need her! Be LION ART                    Cox Hospital. The meeting will be in the
GRAY!!!!                                                              Foster Auditorium at 10:00 A.M.

July/Aug 2019 - M6 Lions Club
As I prepared to write my very first message as the 26-M6 2nd Vice
District Governor for our district newsletter, I was literally riding in a car
on my way to return our 10th puppy Future LeaderDog Joplyn for the
remainder of her training. I started by rereading CC Walt’s June
message, his last as our District Governor and started thinking about why
I’m a Lion. Those of you who have known me for a while know that this
all began for me with LeaderDogs for the Blind when I started raising
puppies. Seeing how these amazing dogs change lives made me realize
that I was truly a Lion at heart and that I can make a difference.

Since becoming a member of the Springfield Queen City Lions, and now the Springfield Host Lions, I have been
seeking new opportunities to serve. I am VERY much about service finding that project, no matter how small
or large, that can make an impact. If your club, or your district won’t do get involved, YOU do it anyway. Find
your own passion, your own voice and just do it.

I look forward to meeting as many Lions in 26-M6 as possible during my time as Vice District Governor. I
challenge each of you to think back and remember WHY you became a Lion. When we meet, I want to hear
about YOUR passion. As our new District Governor Toni Morris tells us “It’s Showtime!” We want to see how
you, and your club are serving your community. I look forward to serving with you, DG Toni and 1 st VDG
Theresa!

M6 Lions at Great Plains Lions Leadership Institute 2019
                                Lions Dawna Skaggs from Aurora and Valerie Howe from Lebanon went to the
                                Great Plains Lions Leadership Institute in Maryville, Missouri. The weekend was
                                full of leadership training and including time management, team building,
                                diversity, as well as many more. The instructors were entertaining, and the
                                classes were interactive with attendees participating in each class activity.

                                If you hold any office; this is the place to come for an overview of how to get
                                prepared. Our district sponsors 2 members each year with the cost about $200
                                each. This includes the room, food & classes. We stayed in dorm rooms and
                                lived as students for the weekend.

                            This is a great place to send anyone wanting to
                            move into a local or district office. I would ask
that all clubs send someone next year.

The guidance and training received will het you thru any issue you may have.
Please look for these too to moving up in Lionism. I have been a lion for 4
years and Valerie first year as a Lion.

Lion Valerie participated in the church service by leading the attendee’s in a
song. What a great service & was optional with non-denominational as well.

Thank you again, Lion Dawna from Aurora Lions Club

                          On July 26-28, 2019, I traveled to Maryville, Missouri to attend the Great Plains Lions
                          Leadership Institute (GPLLI) with Lions from Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska &
                          Iowa. The relationships in my group (one of 3 groups) were absolutely a bonding
                          experience with those of like minds. I also met other Lions at meals who I greatly
                          enjoyed getting to know.

                        I was so glad to learn from the instructors more about
                        how Lions is structured as well as 10 classes on
                        leadership that will help me in all of life. I believe all
                        the subjects motivated me to want to apply what I’ve
                        learned. The Lion motto “We Serve” has taken on a
new meaning since I’ve be to this training.

I want to thank the staff & my district for sponsoring me! It was so worth my
time & I think Dawna would say the same! To the red team I say, “Go Red
Beavers”!!!

Thank you again, Lion Valerie from Lebanon Host Lions Club

LeaderDog for the Blind
Every year as I say ‘Goodbye’ to our Future LeaderDog, I try to imagine
about what this dog would mean to me if she was my way to navigate
the world. Turning in a puppy for training is an incredibly emotional
experience but getting a phone call that your puppy has been ‘career
changed’, for whatever reason, is even more emotional. So, yes, I
cried when we left Joplyn in her kennel at LeaderDog, but we hope
that in about 5 months we will be invited up to see her again and to
meet the person whose world she will change. The training staff were
very impressed with Joplyn’s calmness in the new environment and I
feel they will continue to be very impressed with her in many ways.
Show ‘em what you can do, girl!

Our tears turned to joy a bit later when we met FLD Prism, a little, 11
lb., red lab puppy. “Prism” is used figuratively to describe a new way of looking at or thinking about
something that causes you to see or understand it in a different way. She is absolutely gorgeous! She will be at
the upcoming Cabinet meeting, so if you attend you will get to meet her.

While we were in Michigan, we met with some of the Administrative staff and received some 2018-2019
statistics that I want to share with you. I will be sharing more of these at the Cabinet meeting. For the past
fiscal year, LeaderDogs for the Blind served 291 clients, 173 of these were guide dog clients. Of this number, 3
were from Missouri! I believe one is even within our District! This brings the total number here in 26-M6 to
27 active teams. Of the total number, Lions Clubs assisted 44 clients with their Leader Dog applications. I
hope our district is seeking those opportunities to serve; if you have questions regarding how to do this,
please ask.

Another interesting statistic is that of 22 Summer Campers, 1 was from Missouri. This camp is for 17-18 year-
olds, a great opportunity for these young people to fellowship with kids their own age and to experience
                                              outdoor activities they have perhaps never had due to their visual
                                              challenges.

                                           I am very proud of our district’s donation of a total of $12,111.00 to
                                           support LeaderDogs for the Blind. We have the 2nd highest total in
                                           the state of Missouri AND the only 100% district in Missouri. Thank
                                           you for YOUR support of this great organization!

                           We've got fans & free water to help cool you
                           off. Special thanks to Lion Jim Groff & his
                           granddaughter Bailey visiting from Pennsylvania
                           for spending the evening with us. It was good to
                           see you again Lion Jim.

                           Lions & friends serving the community of Carl Junction doing our Adopt A Highway
                           section along Pennell St. on this hot June morning. We picked up 12 bags of trash
                           this morning. We Serve.

Christian County Lions Club

Christian County Lions Club has welcomed Lion Marilyn and PDG David Harris (New Address: 121 Oakwood
Drive Nixa, Mo 65714 - Phone number & email address is still the same) as transfers from Carl Junction Lions
Club. We are delighted! We have a new member Lion Anne, who is a friend of our newly installed president,
PDG Virginia Pojar.

   •   We are working to raise the money to buy E-Sight Glasses for Lion Jennifer Bass. On June 27 we had a
       fund-raising event at McAlister’s and raised about $1600. New member Lion Anne has donated a
       beautiful quilt for a raffle. It's in blues and will work for a king or queen bed. Ticket are $1 or 6 for $5.
       our drawing will be on September 14, which is the date for our annual run/walk. We are also working
       with PDG Kevin Cantrell to raffle a nine mm Sig Sauer handgun. Tickets are $5 or 6 for $25. The drawing
       will be at the Marshfield Lions Club truck pull September 21.
   •   Lions Margaret and Jennifer worked at the Webster County Fair to sell raffle tickets. Thank you PDG
       Kevin for setting that up.
   •   Our annual event September 14 has had a name and distance change. Although we loved the 4.417K
       concept and name, we have lengthened the route to a 5K. Hopefully that will interest some more
       serious runners. Register by August 29 to get your shirt the day of the run. The price increases by $5
       after that date.

                                ElDorado Springs Lions Club

                                ElDorado Springs picnic was July 18th through 20th. The ElDorado Springs Lions
                                Club has a concession trailer that we've used for several years and this year we
                                had seven teenagers that volunteered their help, two adults that are

   •   Lebanon Host Lions held a Build a Bear event and built
       100 Bears! It took Lions and Friends about 3 hours to get
       all the Bears built. Lions donated 50 Bears to Mercy
       Pediatric Cancer Unit and 50 Bears to COPE Domestic
       Violence Shelter & Resource Center. Last year Lebanon
       Host Lions donated 50 Build a Bears to COPE also. The
                           Advocates said there are no words to
                           express what the smiles mean when
                           they give a Bear to a child entering the
                           Shelter. Often, they arrive with
                           nothing and the Bears are a great comfort. Lebanon Host Lions are proud to
                           consistently support the efforts of COPE and their world-wide motto, We Serve.
