Zone 2A******************* Chairman's Report**************************Feb.15/2010

I have visited all clubs within my Zone. Unlike my fellow Zone Chairperson Ian Douglas, I don't track my mileage, but I do get around to visit each club.

   Attended the Blackie interclub on January 28th/2010, which was very well attended. They had a progressive draw, with the profits being donated to a local charity. A strong contingent of Lions from the Calgary Filipino Club attended this interclub as well, as Blackie is their Twin Club. Fun and camaraderie was had by all.

   I have put a heavy emphasis on promoting LIONS IN SIGHT within the zone. I personally drafted an article that is printed in the Western Wheel and the Gateway Gazette, expounding Lionism and all the subtle and visible ways that Linism contributes to creating a better culture within their communities, and fosters the spirit of value through giving; thus "WE SERVE"  and assist in promoting goodness within the world and more specifically within the community. The Eagle100.9 through their Community Service Calendar has also aired the message of Lions in Sight, and this opportunity reaches a vast number of rural denizens, so it all has been good.

  I have sent out updates to all clubs promoting the Leadership rally in Claresholm.

Membership: Nanton 2 new Members whom are to be inducted at the Nanton Lions Club year end wind-up. Foothills Lions Club has 3 new members who are to be inducted Feb. 16th/ 2010 by District Governor Fred Walters at a Foothills Lions Meeting. Blackie has 3 or possibly 4 new prospective members that are interested in joining their club.

   I will be scheduling our next Zone Meeting for early in March.
