2013 <strong>Lions</strong> International<br />
Youth Camp and Exchange<br />
need host families<br />
The <strong>Lions</strong> International Youth Camp and<br />
Exchange (YCE) will need approx 5 <strong>to</strong><br />
6 host families for the summer of 2013<br />
<strong>to</strong> provide accommodations for students<br />
from all over the world.<br />
Their ages are from 16 <strong>to</strong> 21 years and<br />
they are looking <strong>to</strong> experience our way of<br />
life for 2 weeks. Exchange students can be<br />
moved <strong>to</strong> another host family if a short<br />
stay is only available at the initial host<br />
family. It’s sometimes easier if a young<br />
person of approximately the same age is<br />
available <strong>to</strong> “chum” around with but not<br />
a necessity. Nothing special needs <strong>to</strong> be<br />
planned by the host families, just the normal<br />
day-<strong>to</strong>-day life. Going camping, local<br />
ball game or <strong>to</strong> a social? Great take them<br />
along. You never know they might have<br />
something <strong>to</strong> tell you about their country!<br />
There is a camp from August 5th<br />
<strong>to</strong> 11th that all exchange students<br />
will be attending at the Delta Waterfowl<br />
Field Camp near Minnedosa where<br />
we will have them come <strong>to</strong>gether as a<br />
group.<br />
We will be exposing them <strong>to</strong> some more<br />
Canadian experiences at that time as well<br />
as giving the host families a break as well<br />
as having them tell each other about their<br />
country and culture.<br />
If a host family or anyone else would like<br />
<strong>to</strong> volunteer as a supervisor and/or men<strong>to</strong>r<br />
at the camp we will provide all meals and<br />
accommodations for them for the week.<br />
A camp leader is also required if anyone<br />
has the time and desire <strong>to</strong> help <strong>org</strong>anize<br />
activities and the running of the camp.<br />

<strong>Lions</strong> challenged <strong>to</strong> help<br />
victims in Oklahoma<br />
Deadly <strong>to</strong>rnado kills over 20 people<br />
and destroys community<br />
As many of you know,<br />
a tragic event occurred<br />
in the United States<br />
a few days ago. A deadly<br />
<strong>to</strong>rnado <strong>to</strong>uched down<br />
in the state of Oklahoma<br />
killing over 20 people,<br />
including children, as well<br />
as destroying schools, a<br />
hospital and many homes<br />
in the <strong>to</strong>wn of Moore.<br />
A donor in Vancouver,<br />
Canada, was so moved<br />
by the s<strong>to</strong>ries of individual<br />
bravery and survival from<br />
Oklahoma that he donated<br />
US$1,000 <strong>to</strong> the<br />
disaster relief fund at<br />
<strong>Lions</strong> <strong>Clubs</strong> International<br />
Foundation (LCIF) as a<br />
challenge <strong>to</strong> other <strong>Lions</strong><br />
<strong>to</strong> match his donation. A<br />
match does not need <strong>to</strong><br />
be the full $1,000, but<br />
can be any amount - even<br />
US$1. Through local<br />
<strong>Lions</strong> efforts, this money<br />
will be used for immediate<br />
relief and long term reconstruction.<br />
To match this<br />
donation, contact LCIF or<br />
donate at https://www.lcif.<br />
<strong>org</strong>/EN/ways-<strong>to</strong>-give/liondisaster-donation.php.<br />
All<br />
donations <strong>to</strong> the disaster<br />
relief fund are Melvin<br />
Jones Fellowship eligible.<br />
Many other <strong>Lions</strong><br />
across the US and world<br />
have also responded <strong>to</strong><br />
the devastation in Oklahoma.<br />
A club in Michi-<br />
gan had a club meeting<br />
Tuesday night where over<br />
US$3,000 was donated<br />
with more on the way<br />
from clubs across the<br />
<strong>district</strong>. Districts in<br />
Florida and Virginia are<br />
sending truckloads of<br />
relief supplies <strong>to</strong> the scene.<br />
Donations have come in<br />
from Ontario and Prince<br />
Edward Island in Canada<br />
and from many clubs in<br />
the US.<br />
Please be generous<br />
in your donations <strong>to</strong> assist<br />
disaster relief and reconstruction.<br />
Thank you!<br />

12 JUNE 2013 5M13 MANITOBA LION<br />
Morden <strong>Lions</strong> Club President Rob Lawrence and Lion Sandra with representatives from the Morden Library and Focal Point Vision.<br />
Morden <strong>Lions</strong> Club Eyeglass Recycling and<br />
Magnifier Project for Morden Library<br />
May is “Recycle For Sight”<br />
month for <strong>Lions</strong> <strong>Clubs</strong><br />
(http://www.lionsclubs.<strong>org</strong>) all over<br />
world. Eyeglasses & sunglasses that<br />
people no longer have a use for, can<br />
be donated <strong>to</strong> “<strong>Lions</strong> Recycle For<br />
Sight” which will give someone in<br />
need of glasses a renewed opportunity<br />
<strong>to</strong> see and read. From Canada<br />
in 2011, 191,740 pairs of recycled<br />
glasses were sent <strong>to</strong> underdeveloped<br />
countries. The largest shipment<br />
was <strong>to</strong> Ghana where 55,900 pairs<br />
were distributed in 20 missions.<br />
In Canada, recycled eyeglasses are<br />
tested, packaged and distributed by<br />
The Canadian <strong>Lions</strong> Eyeglass Recycling<br />
Centre (http://www.clerc.ca/)<br />
which is a joint program between<br />
the <strong>Lions</strong> of Calgary and the Calgary<br />
Correctional Centre. Locally,<br />
eyeglasses are collected by local<br />
<strong>Lions</strong> <strong>Clubs</strong>, packaged at the <strong>Lions</strong><br />
Eye Bank office and then shipped <strong>to</strong><br />
CLERC in Calgary. Morden <strong>Lions</strong>,<br />
for example have collected 10,598<br />
pairs of glasses in the past 8 years.<br />
<strong>Lions</strong> in Miami and Winkler also<br />
collect and ship glasses. Collection<br />
bins are located at the Al<strong>to</strong>na,<br />
Winkler and Morden branches of<br />
the South Central Regional Library,<br />
Focal Point Comprehensive Vision<br />
Centre in Morden and in Miami<br />
at Call Insurance Office or Miami<br />
Friendship Centre. Thanks for<br />
your support by dropping off your<br />
unwanted or not needed eyeglasses<br />
& sunglasses.<br />
Magnifier Project <strong>–</strong><br />
Morden Library<br />
16 magnifiers for Morden Library<br />
One of <strong>Lions</strong> main priorities is <strong>to</strong><br />
improve quality of life by improving<br />
vision wherever possible. In<br />
keeping with that priority, an<br />
opportunity <strong>to</strong> help was identified<br />
at the Morden Library. Library<br />
patrons with reduced or low vision<br />
could benefit from having magnifiers<br />
available when reading library<br />
material. Magnifiers, valued at over<br />
$2500, were recently delivered <strong>to</strong><br />
the library through a joint project<br />
shared by The <strong>Lions</strong> Eye Bank,<br />
Focal Point Comprehensive Vision<br />
Centre and the Morden <strong>Lions</strong> Club.<br />
The project also illustrates how the<br />
<strong>Lions</strong> Eye Bank’s Journey For Sight<br />
snowmobile ride fundraiser comes<br />
back <strong>to</strong> help the local commu-<br />
nity. Money raised in the Journey<br />
For Sight is used by the Eye Bank<br />
<strong>to</strong> cosponsor local vision related<br />
projects like the magnifier project<br />
in Morden. This year in January, 25<br />
Morden & area snowmobile riders<br />
raised over $9100 for the Eye Bank.<br />
Library patrons will certainly benefit<br />
from having magnifiers available<br />
<strong>to</strong> view some of the smaller print<br />
materials.<br />
We welcome you<br />
<strong>Lions</strong> welcome new members, you<br />
can be a part of the world’s largest<br />
service <strong>org</strong>anization. It doesn’t take<br />
a lot of an individual’s time but, as<br />
a group, a tremendous amount can<br />
be accomplished both locally in and<br />
around Morden and also all around<br />
the world helping those who are<br />
unable <strong>to</strong> have some of the basic<br />
necessities of life. For more information<br />
