Steam clock in Gastown, Vancouver

Steam clock in Gastown, Vancouver Gastown Lions project.
Greetings to all 202 F Lions
On Sunday, Oct. 5th I had the privilege of inducting the members of the Wanaka Leo Club.
A very enthusiastic group of young people led by Ann Saunders and her support team from the two Wanaka clubs.
Thank you to all the other Cabinet members who attended. We wished the Leos well on their journey with the Lions
organisation.
Now to the matter of those MMR reports. We had quite a few not done again last month. Club Presidents and Secretaries,
PLEASE make it your responsibility to make sure these reports are done IN TIME. If there is a Club having trouble please speak up
and let me know. You are not making things easy for those further up the line who have to process the next stage .
Deaths of any club members need to be reported to me as soon as. I like to write a sympathy letter to the families involved and
sometimes even attend the funeral. A reminder too that all eulogies and photos need to be in by the end of Dec. 2014, not that
far away, ready for our convention in March.
On our travels we like to find if there are any Lions projects to see. Whilst in Canada we found only one and it was the steam
clock in Gastown, Vancouver. Although it looked like something with great historic value we found that it had been built as late
as 1977. Underneath Vancouver ,like a lot of towns in Canada, there runs a series of steam pipes and although the clock was to
be built as a monument it also had an alternative purpose -- to stop the homeless sleeping on the warm grating.
Every quarter hour the two ton steam clock whistles and shoots steam from its five whistles in its version of the Westminister
chimes and on the hour it gives a toot from each whistle.
A member of the Gastown Lions was very involved in the construction and the Club was a sponsor.
As you can well imagine it has been well visited and photographed by tourists, including us! and is one of the stops on the “ hop
on,hop off bus’ tour.

D G Les

Finish withLions Clubs International is the largest service club organization in the world. Its 1.35 million members in
more than 46,000 clubs are serving communities in 207 countries and geographical areas around the globe.
Since 1917, Lions clubs have aided the blind and visually impaired, championed youth initiatives and
strengthened local communities through hands-on service and humanitarian projects. For more information
about Lions Clubs International, visit lionsclubs.org.
WHITE CANE
History
In 1921, James Biggs, a photographer from Bristol, England, became blind following an accident. Because he was feeling
uncomfortable with the amount of traffic around his home, he painted his walking stick white to be more easily visible.
In 1930, Lion George A. Bonham, President of the Peoria Lions Club (Illinois) introduced the idea of using the white cane with a red
band as a means of assisting the blind in independent mobility. The Peoria Lions approved the idea, white canes were made and
distributed, and the Peoria City Council adopted an ordinance giving the bearers the right-of-way to cross the street. News of the
club’s activity spread quickly to other Lions clubs throughout the United States, and their visually handicapped friends
experimented with the white canes. Overwhelming acceptance of the white cane idea by the blind and sighted alike quickly gave
cane users a unique method of identifying their special need for travel consideration among their sighted counterparts.
Also in 1931, in France, Guilly d’Herbemont recognized the danger to blind people in traffic and launched a national “white stick
movement” for blind people. She donated 5,000 white canes to people in Paris.
Today white cane laws are on the books of every state in the US and in a few other countries, providing persons who are blind a
legal status in traffic. The white cane universally acknowledges that the bearer is blind. For specific information contact your local
government office for motor vehicles.
Lions and International White Cane Safety Day
International White Cane Safety Day is an opportunity to increase awareness about the white cane, which:
• Signifies that the pedestrian using it is blind or visually impaired;
• Alerts motorists of the need to exercise special caution and provide the user the right of way;
• Symbolizes the independence, confidence and skills of the person who is using it.
1964: the U.S. Congress approved a resolution authorizing the President of the US to annually issue a proclamation designating
October 15th* as “National White Cane Safety Day.”
1969: the International Federation of the Blind adopted October 15 th* as “International White Cane Safety Day.”
* The above referenced date is a suggested date. Lions clubs are free to hold
awareness events according to the schedule of the club and the community it serves.

Update from the Lab
By Dr Paul Turner
Vicky joined the lab in early August and it is great to have her input in the research. She has
had to have a crash course in bone marrow donation, but has survived it with flying colours.
She also managed to survive the Dunedin winter.
We have been getting two healthy bone marrow donations each week for the past three
weeks. After we get the bone marrow in the lab, it is processed and the stem cells are
isolated. Over the course of a couple of weeks they have increased in numbers and are
frozen down for a comparative study with MSC’s from individuals with Type-1 diabetes. Recruitment of these donors is
ongoing, but if you or someone you know with Type-1 diabetes between the ages of 18 and 50 are interested then
please do let us know and we can discuss it further.
Our latest addition in the lab is Accuri flow cytometer from Becton Dickinson. It is essential for the research as it is used
to check the cells that we are working with are indeed the stem cells we are interested in.

World Diabetes Day
World Diabetes Day is marked each year on 14 November by huge numbers of people around the
globe. For World Diabetes Day 2014, we want to make #TypeOnesie even bigger than last year so
why don't you become a #TypeOnesie for the day? We certainly will be.
What is a #TypeOnesie?
Being a #TypeOnesie involves wearing a onesie for the day to raise funds and awareness for the
Lions/SCSNZ Type 1 Diabetes project We want you to wear your onesie to school or work and
be sponsored for it. And why not get your classmates or colleagues doing the same?
Schools and universities plan a long way in advance, so it is never too soon to start thinking about
how you can get yours involved. Have you done dress down days before? Why not ask your school
or college if you can do #TypeOnesie this year on World Diabetes Day?

DO NOT wash your hair in the shower!!
It's so good to finally get a health warning that is useful!!! IT INVOLVES THE SHAMPOO WHEN IT RUNS DOWN YOUR BODY
WHEN YO...U SHOWER WITH IT. WARNING TO US ALL!!!
Shampoo Warning! I don't know WHY I didn't figure this out sooner! I use shampoo in the shower! When I wash my hair, the
shampoo runs down my whole body, and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning, "FOR EXTRA BODY AND
VOLUME."No wonder I have been gaining weight! Well! I got rid of that shampoo and I am going to start showering with
Dawn Dishwashing Soap. It's label reads, "DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE."Problem solved! If I
don't answer the phone, I'll be in the shower .

Odd Shoe Day and a good collection of $95-00 for Camp Quality. Our club has
been a strong supporter of Camp Quality over many years and the board will be asking the club to ratify the
addition of $105-00 to boost our payment to Camp Quality to $200-00 which was generally our annual contribution to the cause. The youth committee have been busy and their promotion of the peace poster competition has resulted in 15 entries from St Johns School and they are now being judged by Mary Wright - entries will be on display tonight at our meeting. Many thanks to Lion Mike Robinson and his team for their
work in promoting this project and many thanks to St Johns School
for supporting it. Club has three new members to be
inducted.

While we review what we have done financially, I would like to also see us
summarise what we have done NON financially, and the stats are there. That’s why we submit the activity report and I think you
would be pleasantly surprised to see just how many hours cumulatively we have arrived at. The 80th Birthday BBQ we catered for
was held late in September and was enjoyed by all participants, both cookers and eaters. From all reports back it went off without
a hitch. It also went off without much in the way of outside light, so some improvisation was called for. 100 Plus Run is on Sunday
2 November.
Gore River Valley
Since the last newsletter six of us helped with the Fire Brigade supper. It was not all work we did manage to have a bit of a natter
and a few laughs. Grateful thanks to the ladies who helped on the night. Our Home Show is happening Sunday 22nd March,2015.I
really need your help in providing me with names of people to approach to invite them to showcase their homes. Those of us who
volunteered as marshals for the Targa Rally have had our briefing meeting. While it sounds like it will be a big day, it's also exciting
to think we're going to be part of the first ever South Island event in the 20 years Targa has been running. November, is our annual
exchange with Balfour Lions, this year being hosted by them. Our club entry for the Ronald Usmar award has gone forward for
judging We will know the result at the Convention in March.

Our Spring Raffle was a resounding success. The only cost was the wheelbarrow (perhaps there is a hidden message here?)
Should we push or own, or rely on others? Anyway, it was well and truly laden down with a huge amount of gardening
goodies, supplied by members and friends. Proceeds from this go toward our community “Projects”. October- “Wool On”
Awards” – unpacking then re packing these valuable garments. Thanks Lion Sue and your team of Lions helpers. Our “Merry
Mix” Stall in Pioneer Park at Labour weekend is a “real team effort” with a “Main Attraction” of our famous CHEESE ROLLS –
all hands on deck!

Gore Hokonui
What a crazy month with so much on collecting on Friday 26th for Arthritis, thank you collectors, and then Cheese Rolls on 4th
October, Pink Ribbon collection day on the 10th October, and the wedding on the 18th of October. For our October Meeting I
thought we could entertain ourselves, making it a ‘Show and Tell’ night.
I am sure we all have hobbies and crafts etc which we would all be interested to hear about or view. Maybe you have a treasured
item, perhaps handed down from generations, a special book, a favourite recipe or photo. A funny story or rhyme.
Otautau
Club lent the Otautau Friends of the School our old BBQ so they could cater for a soccer tournament. At the moment two events
are on the planning table – the Otautau Street Xmas Party and the Blueberry/Ford Car Festival in February so let’s get in behind
them and give our support. Recipe Book- Lions to provide 5 -7 recipes each. Possibility of a lunch with last year master chief
winners to launch the book. Autumn next year. Remember also to keep in mind the used spectacles and sun glasses collection box
at the Medical Centre.
Cromwell Lake Dunstan
World Service Day is next month and we have once again decided to bake for the elderly. Thank you to everyone who helped with
selling the Fathers Day raffle and also those who helped with The Daffodil Day collection. Alexandra Dunstan – we will invite them
to our November meeting. Tablecloths and decals have arrived. Used a tablecloth today while selling Fathers’ Day raffles. The decals are old stock and should not have red on the tongues. Secretary to contact David Dawick.
Calendar – showing local Lions at projects. We would like to sell it at convention. Camp Quality – tonight we raised $154.
WYNDHAM
This months speaker Dean Rabbidge did extremely well in the national final of the Young Farmer of the year contest and will give
us an insight into the competition. Casino night was on October 11th so a chance to raise some money for a good cause and have a
social catchup as well. Further discussion was held on Diabetes type one with more evaluation to follow. Support will be given to
the Zone wide evening, now likely to be held early next year.
Lumsden
3 members visited Otautau Lions Club, it was good to catch-up with one of the clubs involved with the Farm Location Maps with
us, maybe a Club visit to Wyndham soon could be arranged. After 3 past presidents and 5 years it was a good feeling to finally get
the foundation down for the cemetery board, thanks to all for your help. Another big afternoon with the firewood on Saturday
with three splitters going has given us a good start for next winter, another couple of days like that over spring/summer and we
should be set for next winters deliveries. Thank you. Photos for calendar sorted to go to printer.

Last meeting with the men’s club was an enjoyable evening and over $400 was raised towards Camp Quality which was a
tremendous effort. For world service day we are doing a clean-up in Clyde on Sunday the 19th October at 1.30pm. This is in
conjunction with keep NZ Beautiful so if you can help that would be great. Thanks to Virginia, Heidi and Liz who are working
together on the Community Services Needs Assessment around Clyde. This will be a most useful we can then decide what service
projects we may take on and what we can do for the community. Deidre is co-ordinating the Open day at Trail Journeys and this is
to be held on the and 2nd of November from 10am – 3pm. We will need as many people as we can get to help with day. More

Wanaka Upper Clutha
On the 13th of September we said farewell to our much loved and respected fellow Lion Shirley Rose.
Our Lions Club was very important to Shirley. She was a charter member in 1983 as Lioness and 1993 when we changed to Lions.
Shirley served on the committee, was president and held most of all office positions, some more than once. She was a very
talented lady; everything she did was done to perfection, so when she volunteered, which she did whenever there was a need, it
was done in true Lionism style. She earned the Lloyd Morgan award and was made a life member of Lions on the 11th of August
2006.
Bronwyn organised a clean-up of road verges for last Sunday. There were 11 of us and we picked up rubbish from the main road
start of Riverbank Road into Cardrona Road; from the Dublin Bay turn-off to the Albert Town Camping Ground; and from the main
road turn-off where the vet is to the Albert Town Tavern. The weighbridge showed that we had picked up ¼ ton of rubbish. Our
entry in the Ronald Usmar Districts Award for our Hospice Walk has been sent in.

James Hill has initiated this fundraiser as an individual fundraiser. Lions will be there with the catering team as our contribution for
his cause.

Its important whenever you select a worthy cause for your project to take detailed minutes budgets and photos along
