WHY DO WE HAVE A NEWSLETTER?
The world we live in today is all about marketing. We are constantly
bombarded with communications or ads about this product or that.
Every time we turn on our radios or TV there are ads for this prod-
uct or for another service. Most of which we have no interest or do
not apply to us.
Then what about our newsletter? The primary point of having a
newsletter is the provide an convenient means of sharing the news
of our district, news of club activities and share the outreach of the
charities we support. Some Lions read every word contained in this
newsletter and comment about it. Sadly, a number of recipients do
not. Having said that, we need to constantly remind ourselves of
what it means to be a
part of the world’s largest service organization. Lions Clubs was
created over a100 years ago for the business minded professional
to give back to the community the kinds of services that govern-
ment alone cannot give. It is the personal touch that we as Lions
give freely and without condition.
What would the world be like if there were no Lions, no sight saving
surgeries, no camp for our blind youth, or guide dogs? I would think
this world would be a much smaller darker place. Lions are the light
that we should be sharing with others. This article is written in
response to a email from another newsletter editor asking why do
we have a newsletter? There are no rules or guidelines to follow.
My answer is that sometimes we need no rules other than provide
the content that the readers want to read. Readers are always free to
give back comment, criticism or helpful suggestions. It is important
to note that not every Lion is focused the same. There are members
who are content to attend meetings, work occasionally on service
projects and nothing else. Some Lions with leadership skills are only
comfortable with club leadership. Still yet, others are involved in
District and State Lions activities. Which of these groups do you
belong to?
The purpose and goal of this newsletter is to equip, inform and em-
bolden the reader to break out of their shell and become a larger
participant in this service organization known as Lions. I was a
much smaller person at one time until I was asked that simple ques-
tion some 20+ years ago. “Would you like to be a Lion?”

What Does It Really Mean to be a Lion?
In case you missed it, that was the title of a short article in an old edition of the
Lions Magazine, written by Lion Dane LaJoye, the Managing Editor. In the article,
Lion Dane helped us look at what being a Lion is really all about. She tells the
story of one person (not necessarily a Lion) “paying it forward” in helping a com-
plete stranger with a real life problem. Lion Dane also makes mention of that
“aha” moment, when a member of the Lions Club actually experiences the pleas-
ure of being a Lion! Have you had one of those moments lately, or ever? I have
had the pleasure of having several just in the last six months, let alone the last
two and a half years, while walking the path of 2VDG, then 1VDG, and now this
year as your District Governor. Stepping up to Leadership roles gives us many
more opportunities to experience those “Aha” moments. For me, it is one of the
most rewarding and satisfying advantages of being in a leadership role.
How many of our members are “Real Lions” and not “Just Members”? How many
of us have had the pleasure of doing “Service Work” in the past six months and
“touched the hearts and lives” of the members of our own communities? I think,
based on what I have seen and heard around the District, the percentage of “Real
Lions” is relatively small, compared to what I would hope it to be. Too many
members of our clubs “Just Belong” and have no passion and commitment to do-
ing our Service work. That is frustrating to me and many other members of Lions
Clubs International across the District, across the Multiple District, and around
the World of Lionism. The “Sixty Four Thousand Dollar Question”, as they once
said on television, is what will it take to develop and encourage an increased
“Attitude” of compassion, commitment, and dedication to our motto “We Serve”?
Is there an answer or a solution? I wish I knew, because as a Lion, this is one of
the most frustrating aspects of the increased awareness in Lionism that has de-
veloped within me over the past several years! How do we encourage and develop
an increased personal commitment to being a Lion and the understanding that
once we join Lions Clubs International, we are a Lion twenty-four hours a day,
seven days a week. We are Lions in all of our daily activities and espe-
cially, when helping other family, friends, and community members.
One of the solutions to this problem of “Part Time Lions” is to become more in-
volved in the “Service Work” that is being done within our own Clubs. With the
advent of the Vision Screening cameras and the increased use of the Mobile
Screening Units, we have the opportunity to do more “Service Work” than we
have ever done before and all we need to do is look to our local schools, day care
facilities, and various other areas that can be assisted with the Vision Screening
equipment. We have the opportunity to accomplish two goals of Lions: (1) To
provide the opportunity for more Lions to have that “Aha” moment that will
open your eyes and touch your heart as to the “Real Meaning of being a Lion”, (2)
It will allow us Lions the opportunity to make the greatest impact on our
5Children and our Communities that has been made by Lions, ever! In the words of
Lion Dane LaJoye, we too will pay it forward and fulfill the oath that we all took
when we joined our Lions Club.” We have the opportunity to “Serve”
I leave you with the following “Words of Wisdom” that a lot of you may have heard
previously:
Think It Over
Are you an active member
The kind that would be missed
Or are you just content that
Your name is on the list?
Do you attend the meetings
And mingle with the flock
Or do you stay away
And criticize and knock?
Do you take and active part
To help the work along
Or are you satisfied to be
The kind that “just belongs”?
Do you ever work on committees
To see there is no trick
Or leave the work to just a few
And talk about the clique?
So come to meetings often
And help with hand and heart
Don’t “just be a member
But take an active part!
Please just think this over
You know right and wrong
Are you an Active Member
Or do you “just belong”?
Author Unknown
We have a lot of “Service Work” ahead of us in the Lions Year 2021-2022. I hope we
have more Lions that step up to help with that work, and I hope we have many
more Lions that are willing and able to step up to the challenges of Leadership in
our Clubs and in our District. Happy New Lions Year!
6Larry Gasperson, District Governor
June, 2021
It is nearly the end of May and only a month and a few days left in this Lions
year. The Covid-19 seems to be stabilizing somewhat, most people 65 and
older have received their vaccination, the ones that want it. The vaccines are
readily available, even for children as young as 12. The State and Federal
guidelines have been drastically reduced, nearly eliminated for the people
that have been vaccinated. While the numbers seem to be improving, the
Covid-19 is still with us, however most clubs have begun to meet in person,
some are still meeting virtual, while some are still not meeting, for some
clubs it has been nearly a year since their last meeting. The District member-
ship continues to gradually go downhill. Year to date we have gained 36 new
members; however we have lost 118 members bringing the total membership
to 925 members. I realize that while some clubs are not meeting in person,
some have been able to recruit new members. Thanks to the Clubs that have
recruited the new members. I would encourage all Clubs to “think outside the
box” to find ways to recruit new members. Hopefully all Clubs have appoint-
ed a nominating committee, selected, and elected their club officers for 2021-
2022. PLEASE report them to LCI. DGE Kenneth Beach ll needs this infor-
mation to put in his directory. We currently have 29 of the 55 active clubs in
the district that have not designated their officers for 2021-2022. Now is the
time for clubs to wrap up their Brighter Vision drives and Camp Dogwood
ticket sales. We have achieved 55% of our district Brighter Vision goal ($47.22
per member) with 31 of 55 active clubs that have contributed to Brighter
Vision. We currently have 34 of 55 active clubs that have contributed to Camp
Dogwood (1.80 books per member) If your club has not contributed to Bright-
er Vision or Camp Dogwood, I would ask that you consider giving. The Dis-
trict Goals for Brighter Visions is $80 per member; hopefully some clubs are
able to do more, with the total District goal of $ 85,200. The Camp Dogwood
tickets sales is at least 3 books per member, again hopefully some can do
more. Regardless of you and your clubs ability to give, each and every dollar
is very much appreciated and goes to assist those we serve and the upkeep of
our beautiful camp. The NC State trading pins are available. The pin for this
year (2021) continues in the “Famous People from NC” series. This year it is
Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr. If you and/or your club would be interested in pur-
chasing some pins, please contact the DG, 1st VDG or 2nd VDG and we will get
them to you and you can send payment to Lion William Barnwell, District
Treasurer, at 222 Beehive Road, Hendersonville, NC 28792. As stated in last
month’s newsletter, I have scheduled an Awards Day and a brief Cabinet
Meeting for Saturday, June 12. The meetings will be held outside under a
shed at Lake Julian near Skyland, NC. A meal will be provided by the Pisgah
7Forest Lions Club. The tentative agenda is, the cabinet meeting will start at
11am, lunch will be served immediately following the cabinet meeting, and
the awards will be presented following lunch. More detailed directions will be
made available at a later date.
Please RSVP to the District Governor or the Cabinet Sec/Treas.
in order to ensure that sufficient food is available.
While realizing that this year is nearly over, this being my last monthly news-
letter, I would like to personally thank all that have volunteered to serve this
year in whatever capacity you chose. I know that we did not achieve a lot of
the goals that we set this time last year, however mostly due to the Covid-19.
Please, let’s not stop now, you still have time to record your 2021-2022 club
officers, make your Brighter Vision and Camp Dogwood contributions,
perform another club service project, start in person club meetings, in other
words get back to the basics of being LIONS!! If there is anything that I can do
to assist you or your club, anytime in the future, please give me a call, text or
email. Thanks for all the hard work that you are doing, Let us join together,
pray, show patience and kindness and this too shall pass. Stay safe. Be kind.
8Kenneth R. Beach II, 1st Vice District Governor
Are you a Guiding Lion? Have you ever wanted to be a Guiding Lion? Have you
ever been a Zone Chairperson? Have you ever wanted to be a Zone Chair?
I ask these questions, be cause your District needs your help. We are in need
of Zone Chairs to help the district regain active clubs, who have for the last
year been asleep thanks to Covid-19. The Guiding Lions are needed to help
rebuild those Lions Clubs who have given up and folded.
Our district has currently around 950 members. In the last couple of months,
we have lost 3 Lion clubs , because the clubs just gave up. Our District is as
all districts are, built upon Service to others. Have all the villages, towns, and
cities suddenly lost the need for LIONS? No, of course not. Lions are needed
more now more than ever. Family members lost to covid, jobs lost for over a
year, families torn apart because a parent could not take the pressure from
the outbreak.
We are now, slowly opening back up, so that our clubs can once again meet
and begin to give service wherever, we are needed. But remember, those
places where there is no longer a Lions Club to help meet the community
needs. This is where we need Guiding Lions and Zone Chairs to reorganize the
clubs as well as the community needs
Please try to remember, the need is greater now, than it has been for many
years. We have worked to repair damage from tornados, mud slides and
floods. Now we are needed to keep families together in many different ways.
Out of 620 hours per month, can you give 2 hours a month to a meeting? Can
you give 12 hours a month to a service project? I think we all know the right
answer.
Give me a call at 828-658-4365, if you want help our District. Say “Yes”, to
becoming a Zone Chair. Say “Yes” to becoming a Guiding Lion. Or” I am a
Guiding Lion and want to help”
I am waiting for your call.
9Marilyn Wunderler, 2nd Vice District Governor
As my term comes to an end, I want to thank District Governor Larry Gasper-
son, 1st Vice District Governor Kenn Beach and all District 31L Lions for the
opportunity to serve as your 2nd Vice District Governor. It has been a valua-
ble, personal experience, and it has been such an honor to be a part of a lead-
ership team that managed to guide our clubs through a challenging year
because of COVID.
I have been fortunate to have met with many of our wonderful Lions clubs
across the district and I appreciate how every one of these clubs made me
feel welcomed.
Our district clubs are now putting into place their new officers for the 2021-
2022 fiscal year, and many are planning their service projects. I look forward
to supporting all District 31L Lions Clubs, Susan Fernandez in her upcoming
leadership role as 2nd Vice District Governor, and in particular, our incoming
Governor Kenn as he continues to chart the district’s future path.
I honestly believe that District 31L could not be in more capable hands.
Again, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve!
10How The Pandemic Couldn’t Keep
The Long View Lions Club Down & Zone 9 Down?
By Lion Robert A. Tomlinson, Publicity Chair
Long View Lions Club
Long View- Over the past year, many District 31-L, Multiple District 31 and Li-
ons Club’s throughout the world have been struggling due to the pandemic.
Regular face-to-face club, Zone and District meetings have frequently been
replaced by Zoom. Community service, fund raising, and membership de-
clined.
While many District 31-L Lions Clubs had used woulda, coulda, and
shoulda by blaming the pandemic for their clubs membership decline, visibil-
ity and blind/community service in their communities cities/towns, and coun-
ties , the Long View Lions Club and Zone 9 have taken a proactive approach.
Face-to-Face Club and Zone Meetings
When Long View Lions Club and Zone 9 Lions were unable to meet in the
Long View Recreation and City of Newton Police Meeting Rooms due to the
pandemic, permanently discontinuing face-to-face meetings was never an
option. After some brainstorming and thinking outside the box, the Long
View Lions Club and Zone 9 resumed holding face-to-face outside and inside
meetings at the same time maintaining social distance, following state, and
federal guidelines.
In Spring, 2020 Lion David Bolick, a long time Long View Lions Club mem-
ber, secured approval from his church ,Bethel United Methodist Church in
Long View, to meet in their parking. As warm summer turn to cooler fall, the
Long View Lions Club starting meeting inside Lion David’s churches Fellow-
ship Hall. During the Winter, 2021, the Long View Lions Club held our meet-
ings at Granny’s Kitchen in Viewmont. During April and May, 2021, the Long
View Lions Club has been meeting in Bethel UMC parking lot and under the
picnic shelter at the Long View Recreation Center. Coincidentally, Long View
Recreation Center was built by the Long View Lions Club and donated to the
city.
At the Zone level, under the leadership of Lion Eric Killian, Zone 9 Chair-
man, schedule several of his monthly Sunday Zone 9’s meetings outside
at Blue Ridge Harley-Davidson in Hickory. Unfortunately, until state and
federal guidelines governing number of people in attendance at meetings, it
was necessary for Lion Eric to temporarily resort to quarterly Zone 9
11meetings. During the winter had to temporarily resort to quarterly as op-
posed to his traditional monthly zone meetings.
Zone 9 & Long View Lions Club Fund Raisers
In October, 2020, Lion Wayne Houser, served as Chairperson of Zone 9 Lions
Charity Ride ( Motorcycle Poker Run), to raise fund to charter a bus to
transport Catawba County VIP’s to a future NC Lions VIP Fishing Tournament
@ the Outer Banks. This event was sponsored by Claremont, Conover, Long
View, Newton, and St. Stephens Lions Club. In Winter, 2021, when the Back-
pack Program of the Corner Table resumed, Claremont, Long View and St.
Stephen Lions volunteered one Sunday afternoon per month packing grocery
bags to distributed to Catawba County school children in need who needed
extra food on the weekends.
At the club level, the Long View Lions has held two fund raisers July, 2020
broom sale and roadblock and our 11th Annual Team Bass Fishing Tourna-
ment on Saturday, April 3rd. [ For details read page 15 in District 31-L’s
May, 2021 Newsletter]. This event would not have been successful due the
leadership of Lions Eric Killian, Wayne Houser, & David Bolick and 9 Long
View Lions Club members present, fishermen, our Facebook page,
and excellent publicity by the print and electronic media.
Since July 1st to present, the Long View Lions Club has sold and report-
ed $2,103.76 in Camp Dogwood Raffle Tickets and ranked 2nd place in our
District 31-L with 11.69 books per member. Over the remainder of May
through June 17th, our Lions Club anticipates in selling several hundred’s of
dollars more tickets.
On Saturday, May 22nd, Long View and Claremont Lions Club provided LI-
ONS POWER at Hickory Crawdads, A minor league baseball team affiliated
with Texas Rangers, concession stand earning a percentage of the concession
sales. The Long View Lions Club has been asked to provide LIONS POWER at
future baseball games and other events at LP Frans Stadium.
Zone 9 & Long View Lions Club Service Projects
During the Christmas season, Long View, Claremont, and St. Stephens and
Bethlehem Lions ( in Alexander County in District 31-I ) purchased and do-
nated either tarps or blankets to Salvation Army in Hickory for distribution
the homeless. Throughout fiscal 2020-21 year, Long View, Claremont, and
St. Stephens Lions Clubs in Zone 9, Lincolnton Lions Club in Zone 10, and
Bethlehem Lions Clubs in Alexander County in District 31-I have purchased
12pallets of non-perishable foods and donated them to Salvation Army, local
Christian Ministries and area food pantries.
On Saturday, May 1 at 8:00 A.M., Lions Wayne Houser, Dawson & Eliza-
beth Hart, David & Scott Bolick under the auspices of the Long View Lions
Club “Sight For Kids Project”and in cooperation with the NC Lions, Inc. were
the first District 31-L Lions Club to utilize the new NCLI “Mobile Screening
Van” to check children vision in Catawba, NC. With the gracious consent of
Pastor Donald Gray and Mt. Sinai McCreary Community Center, the Long
View Lions Club screened 19 children, 9 children received eyeglasses within
a week, and 3 needed more intensive eye exam at our optometrist office. If
were not for team effort between our Lions Club, NCLI, Mt. Sinai McCreary
Community Center staff and Dr. Alan D. Winesett, Optometrist, Treasur-
er’s Vision, and Caldwell Community College & Technical Institute’s
(CCCTI) Ophthalmic Medical Personnel Program Instructor and their
students, then this service projects wouldn’t have been successful.
Since Lions Alice- Faye and Jim Peugh, long time California Lions moved to
the Unifour area and became affiliate members our Lions Club, they have
been extremely active, shared a couple of service projects and fund raisers
from their home club. Lion Alice-Faye would welcome District 31-L Lions in
helping her collect and recycle an assortment of bottle tops including plastic
soft drinks, milk, juice, bottle water, pill bottle, and kitty litter tops for her
California Lions Club to sent to Ronald McDonald’s Houses throughout Cali-
fornia. If any District 31-L Lions would like to donate any the aforementioned
bottle tops ( lids), then you should bring them to future Zone 9 or District 31-
L meetings and give them to a Long View Lion. With Lion Alice-Faye’s permis-
sion, her mailing address is listed below- 3952 Pineknoll Drive, Hickory, NC
28602.
On May 15th, Lion Robert Tomlinson Long View Lions Club’s NC Adopt-A-
Highway Chair, along with Lions Dawson & Elizabeth Hart, Wayne Houser,
Scott Bolick, Jerry Rhoney, Jeff Oxendine, Alice-Faye & Jim Peugh, and
Christiana Lovelace ( to be inducted on May 25th),arrived at 8:00 A.M. in
the Galaxy Food Parking lot in Long View, to receive their orange vest NC
Department Transportation (NCDOT) and couple of large orange trash
bags. A total of 9 Lions representing 18 Lions Hours ( 2 hours X 9 Li-
ons) pickup a total of 12 large orange bags of trash and other types of
13debris. [ See photographs elsewhere in District 31-L Newsletter about Long
View Lions Club Adopt-A-Highway Project]
After eating some E Claire pastries courtesy of Lion Dawson and Eliza-
beth, teams of two or three Lions maintaining social distance volunteered in des-
ignated areas picking up trash along 1st Avenue, SW and the railroad tracks in
downtown Long View. Although the Long View Lions Club has been participating
in NC Adopt-A-Highway Program, Operation Clean Sweep for over 9
years, Christiana Lovelace, wasn’t a novice in participating in this program. Due
to this being her third time picking up trash in two months, she shared with our
members about her spouse Monte ( a future Long View Lion), had been joking
about her picking up trash due to court mandate community service. In reality, it
was due to her involvement in couple other organizations in Caldwell County.
If Monte’s employer hadn’t been scheduled to work , then Christiana assured
him that he would be out volunteering and picking up trash too. Over the
years, The Long View Lions Club Adopt-A-Sign had disappeared. However,
the NC DOT has assured us that they will be installing a replacement sign within
the next few weeks. Although our NC DOT Adopt-A-Highway contract specifies
that the Long View Lions Club should schedule 4 trash pick ups per year, they
have been lenient due to COVID 19 virus.
Long View Lions Experience Growing Pains
Over the past year, while many Lions Club have been experiencing a decline in
membership, the Long View Lions Club has experience a membership growth. Ac-
cording to Lion David Bolick, Long View Lions Club Membership Chair and his
committee, “ we attribute our membership growth due the local and region-
al media support of our blind/community service projects and fund raisers. Al-
so, our members have actively been promoting Lionism and inviting prospective
members.” In Fall, 2020, Lions Jim and Alice-Faye Peugh, long time California Li-
ons, who had recently moved to Hickory area, visited our club on several occa-
sions. After recuperating from your health
issues, they asked to become affiliate members. Lion Jim, a Michigan native, and
Lion Alice-Fay, born and raised in Oxford, NC, have been an great asset to our
club, and volunteered at 11th Annual Team Bass Fishing Tournament and Adopt-A-
Highway Trash Pick-up.
After visiting a couple of our meetings and volunteering at Adopt-A-Highway
Trash Pick-up, Christiana Lovelace, will be inducted in the Long View Lions
Club on May 25th along with her spouse, Monte. She will be inducted into Lionism
by VDG I Marilyn Wunderler. Lion David Bolick, Membership Chair, will be
sponsored both Christiana and Monte.
