Who Are The Tri-Village Lions?

Chartered on Sept. 26, 1950, we are one of over 44,000 clubs with more than 1.4 million members in over 200 countries dedicated to addressing local and global needs through humanitarian service.

Our club identifies community needs in the Grandview, Marble Cliff, and Upper Arlington area and collectively works to address those needs through service projects, charitable fund-raising and hands-on activities to grow our local and global community.

    President’s Message (12/09)

    Hello Lions

    As I am writing this message the weather finally turned cold and it sucks. I know everyone is looking forward to our Christmas Party and the chance to get together for a fun evening.

    Thinking back when I was growing up before the term “Think green” was a term we heard almost daily. My parents had a Christmas tree that was about 3 to 4 feet tall and was loaded with lights. These were the old style 7 ½ watt bulbs and there were 106 on that little tree.

    If we do the math 106 x 7.5 = 795 watts for one little trees. The president should start giving tax incentives to make it affordable for everyone in this country to go and purchase a more energy efficient Christmas tree. Just think of First Energy and their 2 for $21.60 light bulbs that they are trying to force on their customers, even if they already use low wattage bulbs.

    If we only had a fund raiser that would allow us to purchase an item for about $3.50 and could sell for $10.80.

    During the December Board Meeting the topic of new fund raising ideas was brought up and First Vice President Lion Keith suggested that we need to find a creative person willing to head this much needed committee. The question is being asked of ALL members because your Lions Club needs help from more than just a few members. Like any organization it seems like a minority manages to handle the majority of the work. The Lion that decides to take on this committee position should have at least three other members serving with them.

    If we all work together as one there is no reason why the Tri-Village Lions can‟t continue to be the leaders of District 13F.

    In Case You Missed It (12/09)

    Our only meeting in November featured a guest speaker from our own club. Lion Rugy N’Gaide took us on a journey through her home country of Mauritania in northwest Africa. Her country has had a long and tumultuous political situation and many of the people there have suffered greatly. Many people do not have adequate food or medical supplies. It is Lion Rugy’s hope that she can one day help her family, friends and countrymen back home. A very eye-opening talk.

    In Case You Missed It (11/09)

    Our October 8th meeting featured guest speaker Bob Ghiloni. Bob is a Grandview resident and is also the basketball coach for Dennison University. His experience through teaching and coaching has taught him and his players to always pursue excellence. A message we can all learn from!

    Our October 22nd meeting featured guest speakers Robin Agler and Katie Hopper with ARC Industries. As you probably know, ARC Industries employs the developmentally disabled and provides services to community business with a wide variety of production, packaging and distribution of products. A great service of helping others help themselves.
