Highlights from District F Spring Conference

A brief summary of what went on at the conference over the weekend...

Leadership 101. Lion Sarah Storrs (me) attended--thank you to the club for supporting my registration. I got a lot of tips on how to improve our meetings, the importance of having some sort of orientation for new members, and how to be a more confident speaker. This workshop was well worth the time I spent--I highly recommend it to any other members.

Election Results.
District Governor (DG): Kay Metz
Vice District Governor (VDG): Erma Kemp
District F Trustee for NLF for Sight and Hearing: Marge Sheppard was re-elected
F1 Zone Chairman (ZC): David Heath was nominated and accepted for a second year term (ZC can only serve two consecutive terms--next year somebody new will have to be elected)

LERC. Donated another box of glasses (approx 50 pairs--box included soft cases). LERC is receiving an award for top recycler from Central Washington Recycle. Spoke with director John Kirry about possibility of doing more with the glasses prior to sending on (sorting, neutralizing) to LERC. He will get back to me with more information.

Fishing Booth at Fun Night. While not a huge fundraiser for the club, we did accomplish a good amount of fun and fellowship. Several of the Leos from Washington Middle School helped with set-up and take-down. Four Terrace Heights Lions were on hand to help with fishing and they had a ring toss game.

Webpage Award. "Tales from the Den" received the runner-up award in the district F webpage contest.

Another Award...ask me about this at our next meeting.

Raffle Drawing. One of the clubs from northern ID won the train trip (rumor has it they are planning on using it as a prize for a club fund-raiser, so there may be another shot at it down the road).
