Each lion has a responsibility
"For members of the Lions Family, the
concept of `community' in reality, encom-
passes the entire world. Each of us has a
responsibility to help people around the
globe who suffer misfortune. Our world
Society requires us, as its citizens, to
voluntarily contribute not only of our time,
but of equal importance, our emotions of
love, caring and sharing with others."
These words spoken by Internations
Lion President Judge Brian Stevenson of
Calgary, Alberta, Canada can be related to
our own local Lucknow Lions Club. The
members of this club work together to
establish a feeling of mutual concern and
interest in the well being, satisfaction and
respect of individual members of a
community.
Since the, installation of the executive for
the 87/88 term in June 1987, the club has
been busy with various service activities
and fundraising projects. The emphasis
has been on service in all forms to less for-
tunate members of the community.
The major service activities that Lions
are involved with are: Drug Awareness,
Diabetes Awareness, Sight Conservation,
Hearing and Speech Action, Environmen-
tal Services, Leo Club, Youth Exchange,
Lioness Club, International Relations.
Other activities of Lionism are citizenship,
educational, r health, social, recreational,
,public, international youth camps and
Lions Club International Fund.

Local clubs can bank on
Olympic fundraising plan
Thanks to the Royal Bank of Canada,
local amateur sports clubs and other non-
profit organizations in Canada can raise
money for their various programs while
helping support the Olympic Winter
Games through the Olympic Coin Fun-
draising Contest.
The Royal, with the support of the Royal
Canadian Mint and the federal Depart-
ment of Fitness and Amateur Sport, is pro-
viding organizations such as amateur
hockey, skating and curling clubs, with '88
Olympic Winter Games coin contest
packages to assist them with their ongoing
fundraising efforts. Groups registering for
the program will offer their supporters
contest entry forms for a chance to win a
complete set of 10 Olympic silver coins.
Each fundraising kit offers organizations
an opportunity to raise up to $600 for their
group.
As part of the program, the bank will
also provide participating groups with
necessary materials to assist with the pro-
motion of their contest locally,
All organizations registering for the pro-
gram by January 1 will have a chance to
win a 1988 van in addition to promoting the
Olympics while raising money for their
various programs.
"This is a winning proposition for
everyone involved, " says Peter Case of
the Royal Bank. "Non-profit organizations
have the chance to raise money for their
own needs while the federal government,
through the additional sale of coins, will
pass on part of the proceeds to the '88
Games."
Any local group wishing to participate in
this venture may register by writing the
Olympic Coin Fundraiser Contest, Box
733, Station `K', Toronto, M4P 9Z9. For fur-
ther inforamtion call (416) 488-2370.
