N o v em b e r 2 0 1 3District 19A Newsletter - District Governor Peter Cheng
Fellow Lions, Lionesses, and Leos,
I am very pleased to announce that Lions Clubs International has accepted our
first new Lions clubs application. The Vancouver Legacy Lions club will be
chartered with 25 chartered members. There will be additional members coming
in to join them in the next 90 days. This has achieved 50% of our extension goal
for this year.
Our district has come together to the
Typhoon Haiyan Relief project. Ourfund raising dinner was held on
November 24th2013 at the Fraser
Court Restaurant. 22 Lions clubs
with over 105 Lions were
represented at the dinner. Donation
cheques totaling over $27,000.00
were presented at the dinner, which
exceeded all expectation. It is truly
gratifying what our Lions can do
within one week of notice. Donations are still coming in at this time and have
exceeded $28,000 at this time. Funds have been sent to LCIF which qualify for
the matching donation from our Federal Government. The event with good food,
fun and fellowship was enjoyed by all.
On November 25th, another Typhoon
Haiyan Relief event was hosted by the
Vancouver Diamond, Vancouver
Metropolitan Lions clubs and members
of the Pilipino community in cooperation
with World Vision and Red Cross.
$35,000 was raised to benefit the relief.
Total raised from both events amount to
$62,846.00. With matching donation
from the government a total of $125,692 was achieved. Kudos to all the Lions
who participated in doing the Lions work in supporting a tent kitchen on the
ground staffed by Lion volunteers in the Philippines providing food, water,
clothing and basic necessities for the typhoon victims (photo on page 2)
Yours in Service,
~ DG Peter Cheng ~

On November 14, 2013, the inaugural Diabetic Alert Dog Guides class at LionsFoundation of Canada Dog Guides graduated. The four clients spent two weeks atthe Oakville training school learning how to work with their new Dog Guides. Thefirst three Diabetic Alert Dog Guides; Nettle, Nara and Wilfred, are trained to detectdrops in their handlers blood sugar and alert them.
Individuals who have type 1 diabetes with hypoglycemic unawareness cannot
detect when their blood sugar drops and this puts them at risk of losingconsciousness, falling into a coma and even dying. To learn more about theDiabetic Alert Dog Guide program, please visit:
