MESSAGE FROM THE DISTRICT GOVERNOR
Greetings Lions, Lioness and Leo’s,
It is hard to believe that my year is almost over. It has been a gratifying year. I am excited that our first
preschool vision screening will be happening very soon. If we save just one child's eye sight it will all be worth it.
Thank you to all of our clubs for the hospitality you've shown to me, my wife and the Vice District Governors.
I want to wish DGE Kerry and Lioness Debbie a successful year, as well as VDGE Dennis. What a great team we
have in place!
I look forward to continuing my service to this great District as the Leader Dog Chairperson this coming
year. Please contact me if your club is interested in my Presentation.
Yours in Lionism,
DG John Griffie, District Governor 14C
MESSAGE FROM THE DISTRICT GOVERNOR ELECT
Fellow Members of 14C,
On June 19th, I will be leaving for the Lions International Convention in Japan. After having attended our 14C
District Convention in April, and the State Convention in May, I am ready to further my education and make even more
new Lions friends.
Your District is extremely proud of our clubs’ first century of service. 14C Lions, Lionesses & Leos are using their
hard earned talents to make south central PA this wonderful place to live that it is. I have noticed in my travels that clubs
are very excited to be a part of the anniversary celebration.
2016-2017 International President Bob Corlew says we have new mountains to climb. Your district, your club,
and the members are all ready to climb together. We are available to help you.
The only position that is still open in the 2016-2017 Governor’s Cabinet is Zone 2C
Chairman (Camp Hill, East Pennsboro, Fairview Township, New Cumberland, & West Shore
clubs). If you are a Past President, please consider serving your fellow area 2C Lions. Try it
for a year. I know you will enjoy helping & bonding with other Lions. Please contact me or
PDG Denny Bell as soon as possible.
Yours in Lionism,
DGE Kerry McKnight

MESSAGE FROM THE 2nd VICE DISTRICT GOVERNOR
Fellow Lions, Lioness, and Leos,
It has been a busy, productive and rewarding year of Lions activities in District 14-C! During this past year we
have taken steps to reverse the membership decline in our district and initiated a vision screening project. These are
two important initiatives that will strengthen our district, and we need the support and participation of every club in
order to achieve success. Information regarding seminars for membership teams will be sent to club presidents and
membership chairs soon. Please take advantage of these opportunities and bring a team from your club to one of these
seminars. Vision screenings will also begin this summer. The Vision Screening Committee will be using these initial
screenings to develop and refine procedures in preparation for training teams from individual clubs to conduct
screenings.
It’s an exciting time to be part of the leadership team for Districtt14-C. I want to take this opportunity to thank
District Governor John Griffie for his leadership and inspiration during the past year. I also look forward to working with
District Governor Elect Kerry McKnight as he takes over leadership of the District later this month. Finally, thank you to
all of the clubs who welcomed me to your meetings this past year for your hospitality and support. To those clubs I was
not able to visit, I look forward to visiting you in the coming year.
Yours in SERVICE,
Dennis Cope
2nd Vice District Governor

IMPORTANT / TREASURER NOTES – DISTRICT 14-C
All checks that are submitted to the District should be made payable to “Lions International – District 14-C,”
with appropriate notation on the memo line or on a separate sheet of paper to identify the nature of the payment. If a
separate sheet is used, be sure to include the club making the payment, date, and nature of the payments, i.e. to whom
ultimate payment(s) is/are to be made and the respective amounts if there is more than one purpose / payment to be
made. Also, please provide the name of an individual and his/her contact information who can be contacted if there are
any questions. Multiple checks may be eliminated if a club decides to utilize a separate informational page.
Also, please note that all contributions to the District’s funds, including the District Governors’ Fund, should be
received by Treasurer Phil Olphin, 18 Country Manor Lane, New Freedom, PA 17349 on or before June 20, 2016 so they
can be included as part of the year-end distribution of contributions before June 30th.

SAVE THE DATES: OCTOBER 28-30, 2016
PENNSYLVANIA LIONS STATE COUNCIL MEETING
DISTRICT 14-C will be the host District for the PENNSYLVANIA LIONS STATE COUNCIL meeting this weekend at
the Holiday Inn at Grantville, PA.
Please put the dates on your calendar now and plan to spend the weekend in Grantville. A special Hospitality
Night will be held Friday, October 28, 2016. The theme for the evening will be “AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT”. A fun
evening for everyone.
The Lions in District 14-C want to show the rest of the state we are a hospitable group, so a good representation
from the district is a must.
Also, PDG George Hilsinger and his Partner in Service will be holding a Basket Raffle, to off-set some of the
expenses for the weekend. The committee would be thrilled to have a basket donation from each club in the district.
Make plans now to donate a basket or some raffle item, worth at least $50.00. Submitted by PDG Shirley, Committee
Chair.

STATE COUNCIL MEETING BASKET RAFFLE OCT 28-29
District 14-C will be hosting the October State Council Meeting at the Holiday Inn in Grantville, PA. Host
Committee Chairperson PDG Shirley Starner has asked me to be in charge of the Basket Raffle. The Basket Raffle is
important because it raises money to pay for the cost of hosting the convention and especially the Hospitality Night
Celebration that PDG Shirley hopes will be "A Night to Remember".
To make the raffle a success, I am asking that each Lion and Lioness club donate a basket valued at $50 for the
raffle. I will need the baskets delivered to the designated room in the hotel by 9:00 am on Friday, October 28th. It
would be wonderful if members from each club could attend the council meeting, and deliver the baskets in person, but
if you can't, then please arrange with your Zone Chairperson, another club, or a local PDG to get the basket transported
to the hotel.
I'm also asking for volunteers to come and help me sell raffle tickets. We need four people each day.
Call me at 717-530-4978, or email me at [email protected] if you need help making transportation
arrangements or want to volunteer to help. Please don't wait until the last minute! Thank you very much.
PDG George Hilsinger

RED LION LIONS PRESENT CLUB PIN TO LCI PRESIDENT
Red Lion Lions Club President David Vinson presented Lions
International President Dr. Jitsuhiro Yamada
with a Red Lion Lions Pin during the Pennsylvania State
Convention in May.
DISTRICT 14-C ZONE 2A LIONS JOIN TO HELP AREA CHILD
Tara Garman is an energetic 7-year-old who has a rare genetic disease known as Juvenile Batten Disease.
There is no known treatment or cure. It will slowly rob Tara of her ability to see, move, speak, remember, and eat. It is a
fatal disease that will steal her away piece by piece. Doctors have found hope in an experimental stem cell transplant.
Tara underwent this procedure at Duke in Durham, NC. She and her mother have been residing there since Thanksgiving.
Because this is experimental, insurance will not cover everything.
When news of the Garman family's situation reached area Lions Clubs, two special steering meetings were
called by Zone Chairman Dan Brant and Past Zone Chairman Peck Freeland. And with that, a coordinated series of fundraising events was established by Lions Clubs in Carlisle, Jacksonville (Walnut Bottom), Mt. Holly Springs, Newville,
Plainfield and York Springs. Recently, Jacksonville Lions Al Grove and George Hilsinger assisted with the Mt. Holly Springs
fishing derby, after which the Mt. Holly Springs Lions Club presented a $1000 check to the Garman family.
A Yard Sale/Flea Market and chicken BBQ will be held on Saturday, June 4, from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the
South Newton Township Volunteer Fire Company, 16 Firehouse Road, Walnut Bottom, PA. The Jacksonville Lions Club
will cook the BBQ chicken. 10' x 10' spaces are available for $10. Indoor spaces will be issued on a first-come, firstserved basis, with a limit of 2. Tables for indoor spaces are available for rent for an additional $5/table. Outside, please
bring your own table and/or canopy. If you have unwanted treasures but don't have the time or energy to price and sell
them, volunteers at the sale will process and sell your donated items. All proceeds go directly to the Garman family.
Watch for details on the other Garman family fund-raisers sponsored by area Lions Clubs, including the June
11 benefit auction by Rick Foreman at Shippensburg Auction Center; August 13 Golf Tournament at Eagles Crossing;
August 17 Cruz-In Car Show at Green Village Restaurant; August 27 benefit auction by Hoober Inc. in Chambersburg;
and, the September 3 bake sale at The Country Butcher. A gospel band concert is also forming.
These efforts show the impact that Lions can have once again when honoring their motto, "We Serve."
The Jacksonville Lions' next meeting will be on Tuesday, May 24 at 6:30 p.m. at the South Newton Township
firehouse in Walnut Bottom. The meetings and activities are fast moving and well organized, requiring on average just a
couple hours per Lion each month. Potential members are encouraged to ask any Lion, drop a note to PO Box 67 in
Walnut Bottom, visit the Jacksonville Lions Club Facebook page or better yet, come to the next meeting to hear about
our service projects and membership opportunities while enjoying a complimentary dessert.

PEACE POSTER CONTEST AND ESSAY CONTEST
“A Celebration of Peace”
Lions of 14-C-make this year be the year to participate in the
Peace Poster Contest with your club. Now is the time to order
your kits for the Peace Poster Contest for 2016-2017! Order a kit
online at:
http://www.lionsclubs.org/EN/member-center/planningprojects/youth/peace-poster/index.php or call Club Supplies Sales
at (630)571-5466 or 1-800-710-7822.
The 2015-2016 winner of the Peace Poster Contest was Yumo
Zhu, a 12 year old student from China. The theme was, “Share
Peace.” As quoted from the Lion Magazine, “Art is open to
interpretation, but, Yumo’s creation seems to suggest that like a
cake oozing with delights, peace is a sweet deal that comes with
cherries on top.” Is there anything more “sweet” than world
peace?
The peace posters submitted this past year from the Lions Clubs
of 14-C were absolutely incredible. By just looking at the posters,
one could see the amount of research, time, thought, and creative
talent that was invested into each poster. But, we need more
clubs to be participating and giving this incredible opportunity to
our youth! Encourage a volunteer from your Lions Club to offer
the opportunity to a classroom of children, a Scout troop, a
baseball team, a Sunday School Class or a Youth Group to
participate in the Peace Poster Contest. Some of our Lions Clubs and schools have made it a tradition which both groups
look forward to annually.
Remember one kit must be purchased for each group your club sponsors.
The Theme for the 2016-2017 Peace Poster Contest is “A Celebration of Peace.” Students ages 11, 12, or 13 on
November 15, are eligible to participate. The last date to order a kit is October 1, 2016.
http://www.lionsclubs.org/EN/member-center/planning-projects/youth/peace-poster/index.php
Each year, Lions Clubs around the world proudly sponsor the Lions International Peace Poster Contest in local school and
youth groups. This art contest for kids encourages young people worldwide to express their visions of peace. For more
than 25 years, millions of children from nearly 100 countries have participated in the contest.
Lions Clubs around the world are, also, encouraged to sponsor students in the Lions International Essay Contest. This
essay contest was created to offer an opportunity to visually impaired young people to express their feelings of peace.
The theme of the 2016-2017 International Essay Contest is “A Celebration of Peace.” Students who are visually
impaired and who are ages 11, 12 or 13 on November 15, are eligible to participate. For the essay contest rules and

You Know You're in Walnut Bottom When...
You know you're in Walnut Bottom when you see the
bright and shiny historical marker that now tells you so! But
you will also know because once again the community and
the Jacksonville Lions Club have joined together to make
things better in Walnut Bottom.
Walnut Bottom, once known as Jacksonville, will be
celebrating its 200th Anniversary in 2019. At a bicentennial
planning meeting last year, the need to refurbish the village's
historical marker was discussed. Jacksonville Lions Club
member Glorianne Hilsinger reported this discussion to the
club, which quickly and unanimously voted to adopt this as a
community service project. Lions Dave Evelhoch and
President Al Grove determined, upon further review, that
the project would be a bit involved. Pressing club
commitments and weather impacted the club's availability

Grove)
At the March 2016 meeting, President Grove announced
that neighbor Luke Martin, on whose property the sign had been located, had already pulled it from the ground and
removed the concrete from its base. Martin even sandblasted the sign so that it was now ready to be repainted!
"Rembrandt" Grove did the honors. Meanwhile, approvals were collected and the call went out to Jacksonville Lions to
help install the sign in its new location. On a cold and grey April morning, Jacksonville Lions Dave Evelhoch, Larry Flood,
Scott Gleim, Nathan Grippin, Al Grove, George Hilsinger plus neighbor Luke Martin got the refurbished sign in place.
From start to finish, this project involved about half of the fourteen Jacksonville Lions, who invested some 24 hours, on
top of the great work accomplished by neighbor Luke Martin.
The Jacksonville Lions' next meeting will be on Tuesday, May 24 at 6:30 p.m. at the South Newton Township
firehouse in Walnut Bottom. The meetings and activities are fast moving and well organized, requiring on average just a
couple hours per Lion each month. Potential members are encouraged to ask any Lion, drop a note to PO Box 67 in
Walnut Bottom, visit the Jacksonville Lions Club Facebook page or better yet, come to the next meeting to hear about
our service projects and membership opportunities while enjoying a complimentary dessert. Follow the "Friends of the
Walnut Bottom, PA Bicentennial Celebration, 2019" on Facebook.
