A Beacon of Hope
Our new International President, Sid L. Scruggs III, from Vass, North Carolina, has proclaimed the Lion Year of 2010-2011 to be the one in which we rededicate ourselves to Community Service. And in doing so, International President Sid L. Scruggs III has challenged Lions the world over with a message that asks each of us to become a Beacon of Hope to those in need.
By selecting the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse on the shores of North Carolina as his logo, President Sid L.Scruggs III has committed himself to focus on, and shine a light on, the efforts of Lions and their chosen“Signature Community Service Projects.”
The four areas of focus are: YOUTH, VISION, HUNGER, ENVIRONMENT.

District 14-B Special Convention
As outlined in the International & Multiple District Constitution and By Laws, the Council of Governors has the authority to call for a Special Convention of the Multiple District. The Special Convention must be called for a special reason.
The 2009-10 State Council has voted to call for a Special to be convened for the purpose of endorsing a candidate for the office of 2nd Vice President of Lions Clubs International.
It has been 28 years since our Multiple District 14 has had the opportunity to present a Lion to be elected as a 2nd Vice President of Lions Clubs International. The process will begin by endorsing Lion Harold “Otter” Ott, PID at the Special Convention to be conducted in each Sub-district the week of August 9th to August 15th.
The Special Convention is a very simple process. All Lions in our district are asked to send a full complement of delegates from each Lions Club to vote at the Special Convention. Each Past District Governor also has a vote over and above the Lions Club compliment of delegates. Each Lions Club secretary and Past District Governor will receive their delegate cards from the State Office. There will be no meetings or speeches. Each Lion delegate attending the Special Convention will register, be certified and vote to endorse our proposed candidate.
This District Special Convention will be conducted on Saturday, August 14, 2010 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Homeville Fire Hall, 3900 Greensprings Ave., West Mifflin. Google a Map by CLICKING HERE
