REVEILLE LIONS DONATE CUSTOM-MADE TRIKE
TO SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD
At Reveille’s February 20, 2014 monthly fundraising dinner, the delicious menu of ham, cheesy potatoes, a medley of vegetables, salad,
rolls and dessert prepared by Lion Carol Nicholson and her crew was not
the main attraction of the event. The highlight was the very special
surprise awaiting a special child.
Eight-year-old, Cassidy Malcolm who has cerebral palsy and other development delays wanted Santa to bring her a red bicycle for
Christmas. The bike that Cassidy needs is expensive, outside her parents’
ability to provide. The bicycle that will work best for her needs is specialized, similar to the one she uses in therapy. According to
Cassidy’s mother Bethany, the bike is not covered by insurance unless it
is medically necessary. Bethany and her husband Guy explored several
ways of funding the bike and did not have any luck until the Woodland
Reveille Lions stepped up and agreed to fund the cost.
Cassidy was called to the stage of the Lions Clubhouse to be told by Reveille Lion
Larry Miller that he and his fellow Lions knew about the red bike she wanted for
Christmas that was too big for Santa’s sleigh. It was then that the custom-made red
bike was unveiled as Cassidy’s eyes widened and a smile stretched across her face.
Bethany said, “Cassidy wants to be like everybody else, part of the activities. This is something that will give her much more freedom to go on rides with her sisters and
on family bike rides.” Before receiving the bike, her parents would pull her in a bike
trailer on family bike rides.
The specialized tricycles can cost anywhere from $600 to thousands of dollars. The
Reveille Lions applied for a grant from the Lions Education Foundation (LEF) and received it. The grant helped with the cost of the tricycle. Reveille members are
grateful for the assistance of LEF.
The Malcolm family has expressed their thanks in person, and with a letter and an
article in the local Woodland newspaper, THE DAILY DEMOCRAT. Bethany’s
reaction to her surprise was thanks enough, as we all know that Lions…WE SERVE!
Happy cycling, Cassidy!

Congratulations to District 4-C5!
I have never been more proud of this district than I was at the
MD4 Convention. During the awards ceremony on Saturday GMT/GLT lunch and evening Academy Awards, our name was
announced seven time as award winners. This goes to show you
that if you take the time to nominate someone for an award, you
might receive it.
There are six categories in the MD4 Oscar Awards. I submitted
six nominations for these awards and they were our District
Winners from last year’s convention. Nominated were our
District Lion of the Year Lion Cecille Baylon for the MD4
Lion of the Year, District LEO of the Year LEO Kate
Wobbema for MD4 LEO of the Year, our Tom and Annamae
Galligan Youth Award winners Lions Lynn and Bing Ventura for the Kay & Denise Fukushima Couple of the Year
Award, Elk Grove Lions Club for Top Club of the Year, Grass
Valley Foothill Lions Club for District Project of the Year –
Small Club, and Maharlika Lions Club for District Project of
the Year – Large Club. We had two finalist in the Lion of the
Year and LEO of the Year – Lion Cecille Baylon and LEO
Kate Wobbema and we received two Academy Awards for
Maharlika Lions Club for District Project of the Year for a
Large Club and Lions Lynn and Bing were selected as the
Kay & Denise Fukushima Couple of the Year.
PDG’s Chuck Casey and Chris Morris presented awards for
District GMT and GLT Coordinators, Region Chairs and Zone Chairs for this year. Each District Governor was ask to submit
nominations for all four categories. After lengthy discussion
with 1st VDG Erv and 2nd VDG Mike, we submitted nine
nominations. Our recipients of these awards were PDG Bob
Olin for District GLT Coordinator, Dos Rios Region Chair
Lion Linda Puccetti and Sacramento Region Chair Lion
John Vermeltfoort and Zone Chair Lion Dennis Puccetti and
Zone Chair Lion Sheri Retzlaff. We also had seven clubs
given awards for membership growth. Receiving recognition
medallions for growing from under 20 in membership to over 20
in membership were Penn Valley Hi Graders, Sierra, Winters,
and Meadow Vista Lion
Clubs. Receiving award plaques
were Fair Oaks Host and Midtown Lions Clubs. We had
one club that finished fourth
overall in net increase in
membership with 16 new
members. This was Maharlika
Lions Club.
It is that time of the year for
Club Presidents to start
thinking about submitting your
nominations for our District
Awards. Our winners from this year will be the nominees for next year’s MD4 Oscar Awards.
All nominees are due by April 10th and sent to me.
We just completed our third cabinet meeting for this year. There
was a great turnout of our members from all around the district.
A special thanks to RC Lion Tony Santos and all of the Zone
Chairs for their outstanding work on making this cabinet
meeting a success. We had 12 great forums and several were
again standing room only. Great job to all of our presenters.
The food was great and how about those desserts by DG
Candidate Lion Erv and Lion Cat Gon and 1st VDG
Candidate Lion Mike and ZC Lion Sheri Retzlaff.
Our guests were blown away by how we conduct our Cabinet Meetings. They liked everything we do and had how we did it.
DG Margaret (4-A3) was very impressed with the forums, 1st
VDG Buck (4-C2) was impressed with the information tables
and the file folder system we use to get the word out about our
upcoming events and projects for our clubs and district. 2nd
VDG Larry was very impressed with everything. This tells us
how outstanding we are when we receive this kind of feedback
from the guests who visits our district.
REMEMBER TO AIM HIGH, BE PREPARED AND SERVE
to “JUST ASK”
DG Andy

Convention Committee
2nd VDG MIKE RETZLAFF
My oh my, how many MD-4 conventions have you been to? Not
counting last years (I was working it) I’ve been to one. This
year’s convention was held in Ontario, California and let me tell
you this, if you didn’t go, you missed out on a lot of great Lions
events. The forums were great, the vendor area was full, the
rooms were nice and the food was good. And by the way, the weather was hot and the A/C was working (thank goodness). I
can tell you for sure, this one was the first of many more to
come.
Another area that we should be so proud of is our District
Cabinet meetings. When was the last time you found time in
your busy schedule to attend one? This past weekend, District
Governor Andy conducted his third cabinet meeting at Union
Mine High School and it was hosted by Region Chair Antonio Santos. All 12 educational forums were well attended and once
again, Governor Andy’s plea to “think outside the box” when
developing and giving these forums proved successful,
especially if you ask the attendees how they enjoyed them. Nice
job presenters!!
I want to remind you of two very important events that are
coming up. The first one is the District New Member Night and
Melvin Jones Fellow Award Night. It will be held on June 13th at 6 pm at the CET Facility in Sacramento. The price is $15.00.
Club Presidents, please put this date on your must do list. We
would like to see all new members, their sponsors and Club
Presidents attend. You might also consider having your club pay
for the new members to attend. ALSO, have you been holding
back awarding someone a Melvin Jones Award for the work they have
done for your club? This would be a
great time to present it. Are you a
past recipient of a Melvin Jones
award? You too are invited. Let’s
show our new members what reward
could await them for their hard work
and dedication to Lionism like it did
for you. Call me for information and
tickets (916) 225-8321.
The second event that is right around the corner is our 10th
Annual International Food Fair. For $20.00 you will be able to
test delectable delights from around the world. All proceeds will
help fund our District 4-C5 Educational Grant program. So far this year, it has helped 9 members attend different leadership
and motivational classes and forums. Our goal is to increase club
participation in our number of serving spots AND to get more
district members to attend. MARK YOUR CALENDARS -
AUGUST 17th, Folsom Community Center, 12 noon to 3 P.M.
We are lining up our entertainment as we speak, trying hard to
get our local youth and their musical talents in the spotlight. In
closing, please keep those folks who are less fortunate in our
thoughts and prayers. Help if you can and ask for help if you
can’t. Our Lions family is there for all of us.
Michael C. Retzlaff, 2nd VDG
1st VDG ERV GON
It is the top of the seventh with the
score tied and this could go any
which way. We have a great deal of
work yet ahead of us. Hope for the
best is what we all have a tendency to
do, but let us increase our odds in the last half of this Lion year by
continuing to “Just Ask”!
Many of you have heard me reiterate
this during our visits to your Clubs
and I ask you to continue to do so to
keep the membership numbers
positive. It will prove to increase the number of volunteers with
willing hands to continue our services within our respective
communities.
It is hard to believe there is less than four months remaining in
this Lion year and there are so many of you who are reading this
who potentially could be our next Second Vice District
Governor candidate. We have learned so much from District
Governor Andy Anderson and on the team with Council Chair
Derek Ledda, yet First Vice District Governor Candidate,
Michael Ratzlaff, and I as your District Governor candidate are
still looking for several more strong Lions to serve on our teams.
Our District does not acquiesce to the “What’s in it for me”
expression so please join us.
Just the same, many of you may be thinking -- “let someone else
do it, I’m too old to do this, I don’t have the time, not for me,
it’s too late in my Lions career (how old will you be
tomorrow?)”. Many of these are very legitimate reasons as I used all of them for 12 years before I decided to seek a new
challenge, opportunity and experience. I have been on this
course since December 2011 and I have not regretted a moment
of my experience. I truly appreciate the honor for the
opportunity to make a difference for my District while carrying
on the fine traditions set by my predecessors. I have many
lessons to learn from all of you and will patiently listen and react
accordingly.
So to the many of you wanting to step out of your comfort zone,
now is the time to take on a leadership role within the District.
We have many challenges ahead of us in the District, let us
tackle them together!
Yours in Lionism,
1st Vice District Governor Erv and Lion Cat and family

A Word about Vices…
“It takes a vice to check a vice, and virtue is the by-product of a stalemate between opposite vices.” Eric Hoffer
V0LUME 32, ISSUE 7
Capital Lions Club’s 60th Anniversary Charter Night and
China Night, held on Sunday, January 26, at Holiday Villa
Restaurant, was a successful event with approximately 160-
165 attendees. Attendance included District Governor (DG)
Andy Anderson, 13 Past District Governors, both Vice
District Governors, one Region Chair, two Zone Chairs, seven
Club Presidents, and our District Lion of the Year. All were
presented with a bottle of wine, donated by our member Ren
Endow.
Our member Paul Chow and Danny Vuong from the
Sacramento Chinese Culture Foundation (SCCF) entertained
the audience with several songs. Our member Wei had
prepared a slide show that ran continuously before and during
dinner.
After dinner, DG Andy presented the club with certificates,
letters, and a banner patch from the President of Lions Clubs
International, Barry Palmer, congratulating us on our 60 years
of service; and our two Charter Members, Frank Wong and
Dr. Herbert Yee, were honored.
We concluded the evening with a raffle - our members
donated over 40 nice raffle prizes, and we also had raffle
donations from Metropolitan Lions Club, VDG Erv and Cat
Gon, and probably others that I don’t even know.
We netted over $1,500 from the dinner and raffle for our
charity fund. Many thanks to Lion Wei for her work on the
slide show, to Lion Paul for his songs and entertainment, to
Lion Ren for donating the wine, and to all of our members
who donated so many nice raffle prizes.

Business to Business gives Lions the opportunity to share
their business with other Lions. It is a great way for Lions to
find other Lions when they are looking for a business or
service. Lions’ businesses are listed on our district web site -
District4c5.net, under BUSINESS DIRECTORY. If you have
not yet taken a look at it now is the time. We have everything
from A to Z in the lines of businesses in our great district.
It’s always nice when we know and trust the person we are
doing business with. The next time you need a service why
not take a look here first and check out one of our fellow
Lions.
Business members meet quarterly to share their business
with other Lions. We have 2 businesses featured at all of our
cabinet meetings. The two businesses featured at our
February Cabinet meeting were Lion Alan Archer, owner of
Alan Archer Consulting and Lion Jill Santos with her Miche
purses.
The next meeting will be in April. Watch the April Pride
and your email for date, time and location.Lions B2B has
added an extra bonus to our continued service to our
communities.

The Loomis Basin community knows full well where to
drop off their used eyeglasses. The citizens have walked past
the bright red former U.S. Mail Can with its Lions logo and
brass colored eyeglasses at the front door of Raley’s Market a
thousand times over the years.
By some estimates, nearly 40,000 glasses, hearing aids, cell
phones, along with hundreds of
stamped letters have passed
through the intake slot. Each
day, a Lion member culls out
the letters and hand carries them
to the nearby dark blue official
mail box.
Out of this donation of
glasses, adult sizes are sepa-
rated from those of children;
the number of child sizes is
always less than 5% of the total
collection.
The primary need in the villages of the world are, of
course, spectacles for children. This is not unique to Loo-
mis, of course, it is about the same for eyeglass collection
efforts everywhere.
Lion John Dupriest’s 2014 campaign to establish a supply
of discarded and refurbished children’s eyeglasses is in full
swing.
With the enthusiastic help of Lion Gordon Medd, Su-
perintendent of Schools, and Lions member Lisa Musso
Markey providing project artwork, the contemporary eye-
glass boxes will be in position at 7 Elementary Schools in the
area by March 3.
“We will be collecting children's throwaway glasses for 6
weeks,” said Project Leader John Dupriest. He said that all
school parents will be sent flyers describing the program and
asking their help in returning them to full use. Lion Dupriest
added that used glasses go through a clean and repair process
before they are shipped to children in foreign countries.
LOOMIS LIONS HOLD CHILDREN’S EYEGLASS COLLECTION
MAKING LIONISM “WORK” AT WORK Employees help collect over 1,000 pairs of eyeglasses
From the California Department of Motor Vehicles
The amazing generosity of DMV employees helped collect
1,049 pairs of eyeglasses in 2013. Kitty Kramer, Program
Manager in the Registration Division (ROD), Customer
Service and Operations Support section - initiated an eyeglass
collection campaign three years ago.
Kramer understands the value of being able to see well, since
she wears glasses to drive and for computer use. “Without the
use of eyeglasses, I would not be able to function as well on
my job or, for that matter, could cause an accident while driv-
ing,” Kramer said.
She also understands the value of the vision benefits state em-
ployees receive and knows that others do not have any bene-
fits to assist them and may not be able to afford eye care on
their own. Not to mention, recycling eyeglasses helps in being
environmentally “green”.
150 million Americans use corrective eyewear to compensate
for refractive errors. Americans also spend more than $15
billion each year on eyewear, according to the National Eye
Institute.
Three years ago, Kramer set out to help make a difference.
“This is a lot of people that can be helped due to the amazing
generosity of DMV employees,” expressed Kramer.
Many individuals and offices helped gather eyeglasses. “It
also seems that some of our customers leave their glasses on
the counter and don’t return to pick them up, including a lot
of sunglasses,” added Kramer.
The eyeglasses collected are delivered to the Folsom Project
for the Visually Impaired program (Lions Clubs International
program) that began in 1989. The eyeglass collection program
is operated by Folsom Prison staff and inmates and sponsored
by the Lions Clubs of District 4-C5.
The program was initially founded with the modest goal of
providing books on tape for individuals and students through-
out the sight impaired community of California. The generous
effort expanded to include donated eyeglasses by cleaning,
classifying prescriptions, and packaging for shipment any-
where in the world where a sight mission is performed. Keep
an eye out for more information this fall 2014. Be on the
lookout for announcements regarding the DMV Eyeglass Col-
lection Drive!
In 2011, DMV employees donated 1,329 pair of glasses. 914
pair were donated in 2012.
Reveille Lion Kitty Kramer presents a certificate of appreciation to Director
Jean Shiomoto, thanking her on behalf of the Lions Clubs for her support.
