USA CANADA FORUM<br />

SASKATOON SHINES!<br />

By DG Pat<br />

The forum was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> best yet. International<br />

President Al Brandel welcomed us to Saskatchewan<br />

and truly inspired us to create our projects<br />

and fundraisers so that <strong>the</strong> communities we<br />

support know who and what we are! <strong>District</strong> 4-<strong>A1</strong><br />

attendees: PDG Bob & Sue Ransom, DG Pat<br />

Casey-Gillum, RC Willie Hughes, ZC Jerry Walden,<br />

Lion Fred Bunch and Marie, and Editor Sue!<br />

The seminars were great! The following is a<br />

sample <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fun:<br />

●Stop <strong>the</strong> Fines and Start Having Fun with Tail<br />

Twisting<br />

●Become a Confident Word-<strong>of</strong>-Mouth Lion<br />

Ambassador<br />

●Dr. Love’s Traveling Sponsorship Show<br />

●Miracles <strong>of</strong> Service Through Club Developments<br />

●Problem Solving Processes & Club Tools<br />

●GMT Meet MERL<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se seminars will make <strong>the</strong>ir way to a<br />

<strong>District</strong> Meeting. If any sound particularly good,<br />

The next USA Canada Forum will be in Memphis,<br />

Tenn. And, <strong>the</strong>re are rumors that Elvis will be<br />

<strong>the</strong>re. Hope many <strong>of</strong> you will be able to attend<br />

and take advantage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> camaraderie, useful<br />

knowledge, and beautiful scenic sights welcoming<br />

<strong>Lions</strong> primarily from USA & Canada.<br />

(I spent a lovely week touring Saskatchewan including:<br />

Prince Albert National Park with Fall color, national<br />

historic site <strong>of</strong> Batoche, <strong>the</strong> tunnels under <strong>the</strong> city <strong>of</strong><br />

Moose Jaw, and <strong>the</strong> RCMP academy at Regina, <strong>the</strong><br />

capital <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Province. ED) ●<br />
