The theme for the upcoming year is
"Reach the Summit Through Teamwork." Lions Club International has
reached their centennial year and we
have been successful because we are
focused on the same goal: serving
those in need. Be it on a global level
or a local level, Lions truly live up to
the idea "where there is a need there is
a Lion.”

This year we will continue the Centennial Service Challenge and are expected to reach our goal of 100 million people served well before the
June 30th, 2018 deadline. The Lions
of District 24B has embraced this
challenge and made it their own. Lions Club International has added a
new layer to the Centennial Service
Challenge; clubs are being asked to
leave their mark on their communities
through the Centennial Community
Legacy Project.

Ultimately, the greatest impact we can impart is through your local clubs. In the
past few years clubs in 24B have started to work together to purchase eye screening machines, to work on upgrades at the camp for the blind, to complete large
scale service projects. This year we are looking to develop an ALERT Program
and build the ground work for a camp for blind children; both large scale projects
that will bring Lions together from all over the district. I look forward to working
with you all this year and celebrating Lions Clubs 100 years of service in Chicago
in July 2017.
Here is a small item I wanted to share with the clubs: New Member Kits.
As many of you are already aware as part of the Centennial Celebration Lions Club
International has developed special New Member Induction kits. If you are planning to induct a new member, or two, and have time to order new kits it will be a
unique honor for your new members to have the Centennial membership pin. If
you are planning a last minute induction and are in need of the Centennial kit
please let me know as LCI sent me about 20 kits.

What are the Club Public Relations Chairperson's responsibilities?
Although PR is every Lion's responsibility, the Club PR chairperson is responsible for the following:
1. Communicating information about your club to the
community, including the media (Radio, Public Television, and
News).
2. Club Awareness of the PR efforts and the results.
3. Inform LCI about outstanding Lions programs and activities by using the
Submit a Photo feature or contributing to the Lions Blog.
Getting Started
1. Set Goals: Review your club's PR history. Evaluate what worked, what
didn't and why.
2. Determine the PR Budget for the Year: Effective public relations programs can be done on a limited budget. Be sure to budget for both ongoing
public relations efforts and special events.
3. Plan Ahead: Planning and timely execution are vital for your public relations efforts.
4. Create a Timeline: Determine how and when you will promote your club
and when you will start publicity for your club's special events. But be flexible-newsworthy activities may come up during the year.
5. Discuss Your Plan: Meet with your club president and the chairpersons of
your club's various events and projects.
6. Be Persistent: Keeping your club visible in the community doesn’t happen
overnight; it takes time.
7. Keep a Record: Keep track of news (press) releases and who used them.
Save the articles about your club. Include the publication's name and issue
date on the clipping. Make a recording of broadcasts of interviews and other radio and television, and share them with your club.
8. Inform Your Club: Report on your publicity efforts and results at regular
club meetings and in the club newsletter. Document the benefits of good
public relations.

How to prepare a News Release
News releases should answer these six key questions in the first two paragraphs:
Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How? The subsequent paragraphs
should provide additional information in descending order of importance. Simply
written and fact-filled releases are more likely to be published. Often articles submitted are not selected for local news due to perceived importance or impact in the
community, so to increase the chances that your release will be used consider the
following points:
 Be sure that it is about a newsworthy event.
 Keep paragraphs and sentences short and limit them to a single idea.
 Use quotes to enhance basic information and be sure to identify the person's
name and title, or reference.
 Include the name of the club contact at the top of the page with a daytime telephone number and e-mail address.
 Follow a standard press release format (see the example release at the end of
this guide for the format of news releases, and visit the LCI Sample News
Releases page online to download pre-formatted fill-in-the-blank press releases).
 Distribute news releases, two-four weeks before your event, to the editors,
reporters and news directors list who cover your particular type of story.
 If you have a major story, follow up with each media outlet one week before
the event. Offer to answer questions and outline photo opportunities. Be positive and enthusiastic in explaining why their audience would be interested in
your story.
 Call your local media outlets directly to suggest a feature story to a reporter
or editor in a situation when a news release might not tell the story well. Gain
the interest of the reporter in covering a story (like the importance of volunteers in your community rather than covering a specific event or activity).
Post-Event Publicity to Community
1. News Release. Prepare a brief, one page news release highlighting the
project's results. Include photos.
2. Letter to the Editor. Write a thank you note to the community.
3. Display Advertisement. Consider placing a small advertisement thanking
the community for its support. Many publications offer not-for-profit discounts. Some will even donate unsold space free of charge.
4
Public Service Announcements (PSAs)
PSAs are brief (10, 15 or 30 second) messages aired at no charge on radio and television stations as a community service. They must benefit the community, not just
your club. LCI has a collection of PSAs covering a variety of topics that are available at no cost to clubs, including broadcast quality PSAs in MPEG format for television stations to download.
When writing a PSA, construct a clear, concise message since you typically have
10- 30 seconds to communicate. Generally, a 10-second spot will have approximately 20 words and a 30-second spot will have approximately 65. Messages about
preventing blindness, serving youth, fundraising events that benefit the community
and public events sponsored by your club are appropriate subjects. PSAs need to:
1. get the listeners' attention
2. identify the benefit from doing what you suggest to listeners,
3. give clear instructions to listeners about where to go, what to do, when to do
it and who to contact for information.
Contact the news or public service director at your local television or radio station
to learn the station's scheduling and format requirements and if they can assist you
with production. Often stations have a reduced production rate for not-for-profit
organizations.
Public access stations air PSAs, run videos of club activities, post club events on
community bulletin boards, and have club members participate in community talk
shows. Contact the public service director at your local cable station regarding
program opportunities.
Lion Calvin Easter
2nd Vice-District Governor
Thank you for electing me as the Second Vice-District Governor for District 24-B of the Lions of Virginia. I am excited
about this year and pledge to do my best at carrying out the duties of the Second Vice-District Governor. DG Lion Heather
has appointed me as Chair of Regions II and III. I plan to
make the Club visits in these Regions with DG Lion Heather. I
want to reach out to each of you and seek input of what you
would like to stay the same the next two years and what you would like to see
changed. I will be particular interested in changes that will encourage more Lions
to attend Zone Meetings, Cabinet Meetings and State Conventions. This year at
the State Convention, we only had 32 of over 100 delegates to attend.
5
The President and Secretary of each Club are members of the District Governor’s
Advisor Committee and are requested to attend each Cabinet Meeting. If the President cannot attend, he/she should try to get one of the Vice Presidents to attend in
his/her place. If the Secretary cannot attend, any member in good standing can attend for him/her. Most of the Clubs are very active and you can pick up some
good ideas from these meetings. Mark your calendars, DG Lion Heather will be
calling for her first Cabinet Meeting in late July or early August.
MESSAGE FROM PAST DISTRICT GOVERNOR LEE WINDER
I find it necessary to communicate with each of you to clarify
information about the redistricting proposal that was voted on
at the Virginia Lions State Convention on May 22, 2016.
I want to begin by retracting my message about redistricting in
the June 2016 issue of The Beacon. The message is not properly worded and the editor has given me the opportunity in this
issue to give an exact explanation.
The redistricting vote FAILED to achieve a 2/3 majority vote as required by MD
24 Constitution and By-Laws. The votes did reach a simple majority which has
caused the confusion. The LCI Legal Department had given an opinion a few
months ago that it would require a simple majority vote and override our Constitution. It appears that this new rule may not be effective until July 1, 2016. This issue has been communicated to LCI and no answer has been received to date. As it
stands the resolution did not pass and nothing is being sent to LCI for approval in
October unless LCI says otherwise.
Thank you for the opportunity to explain the results of this vote and feel free to call
or e-mail me about this issue.
Enjoy your summer.

LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION UPDATE
As I look back on this past year, I am overcome
with gratitude. Serving as Chairperson of Lions
Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has given
me so much to be thankful for, and I would like to
take this opportunity to express that gratitude to
each and every one of you.
Thank you, Lions, for your creative and meaningful
work this year. The sheer volume of grant applications you have submitted to LCIF proves that we
are expanding our humanitarian reach. We are only
able to do this because of your unending dedication
to service.
I would like to also thank our LCIF Board of Trus10
tees, LCIF District and Multiple District Coordinators, district leaders and everyone who helped promote LCIF. You have done a great job raising awareness and
increasing donations this year. Your work is vital to what we do.
Thank you for your generous support of LCIF. The support LCIF is able to provide
would not be possible without generous support from more than 80,000 individuals
and 11, 000 clubs around the world. Because of you, we are treating the people we
serve with dignity and working together in the spirit of harmony, all in the name of
humanity.
Lastly, Joni and I want to thank the Lions of the world for your warm hospitality
and your genuine friendship. You have welcomed us with open arms and shown us
the true essence of Lionism.
Thank you for allowing me to serve as your Chairperson. It has been a great honor
to represent you and LCIF, the greatest foundation in the world!
Together in Service,
Joe Preston
Chairperson, Lions Clubs International Foundation
HANNA ELSHOFF’S DREAM BEING REALIZED
Chatfield Lions
Club, Minnesota.
Growing up in
a small German
village, Hanna
Eslhoff
dreamed of
coming to
America. Now
the 72-year-old
Grandmother is
living her
dream of riding a bike around the United States, including a stop to fulfill yet another dream – meeting a former U.S. President (and Lion) who inspired her to become a citizen.
A Free Spirit
I always felt that I needed more elbow room than my small community in Germany allowed. I arrived here speaking no English at 18. I rode my bike everywhere,
11
and I wanted to ride through the U.S., but I knew I had to be footloose and fancyfree before I could do it.
Living Courageously
I had a stroke six years ago while giving a speech at a Toastmasters competition. I
remember thinking I was going to die, and I was at peace with it. Ten days later I
walked out of the Hospital. I thought, I became determined to go on this ride fearlessly.
Pedaling with Gratitude
Along with raising funds for Leader Dogs, meeting Lions and sharing my passion
for Toastmasters, my mission on this ride is to thank veterans. My family found
out after World War II that a neighbor was SS and had orders to send us away because we were members of the GFree Luthern Church. If the Americans hand not
come ….. they saved our lives.
Journey to Georgia.
Years ago, I saw a guy on TV saying he was a farmer and was running for President. My family were farmers and I thought, only in America could a farmer run
for president. I became a citizen so I could vote for him. I did not quite make it,
but President Jimmy Carter has always held a special place in my heart. I have my
letter welcoming me as a citizen – signed by President Gerald Ford – with me. I
am heading to Plains, Georgia, to try to get Carter to add his signature.
No Reports
I was told my dreams on this ride was quixotic. Thankfully I received the extra
push I needed at the International Convention in Hamburg, when International
President Barry Palmer announced his theme, “Follow Your Dreams.” I am riding
with a purpose, meeting beautiful people everywhere and touching lives with my
story. Every day I say, it can’t get any better.
Follow Elshoff’s ride, invite her to visit your club and find out if she fulfills her
dream of getting Carter’s autograph at “Hanna’s Dream Ride” on Facebook.
Watch a video about Elshoff’s ride.
