Zone Chair Reports
Zone 1 – John Dickinson: Reports he has
heard several complaints about the dues increase.
Zone 2 – Guy Cockerum: Reports he, also, has heard complaints
regarding the dues increase. He suggests clubs recruit “Associate Members” to
lower club dues & possibly encourage new members to join.
Zone 3 – Pat Rohwer: Not at meeting – nothing to report
Zone 4 – Marie Straw: Had nothing to report.
Zone 5 – Curt Kelley: Reported the first Zone meeting has been
scheduled for last week in September. He also reported leadership training is
being scheduled for the clubs in his zone. He announced the newest club in Zone
5 has scheduled their charter party for August 26th & invited all to
attend.
Zone 6 – Betty Wartluft: I contacted Wood River a few weeks ago
to get some information. I was told Mr. Cochran had just moved. I left
information but my call was not returned. I will try again.
I talked to Todd White of Jerome Lions and gave him some
information about a Safe Kids Fair that is coming up in Jerome. The Lions were
asked to provide a booth at the Safe Kids Fair. I forward all information I
receive from District Governor Deanna to Todd using the e-mail service.
Being a Gooding Lion I know what is happening in that Club. Each
year we do a fair and rodeo tabloid and we sell the tickets at the rodeo in
August. The proceeds from the tabloid is a fund raiser for the club. This year
the Lions went all out to obtain new customers. We are hoping our efforts will
be justly rewarded. Our club sponsors Boy Scout troop 33. This year one of the
scouts was looking for an eagle project. a suggestion was made to have a fund
raiser for a Titmus machine to donate to the Gooding Lions. This project is in
the works. The Gooding had a pot luck picnic in the park the last Monday of
the month. The Boy Scout troop 33 and their parents were also invited. Troop
33 provided the main dish. The picnic was the setting for the installation of
the new officers. I was honored to perform this task. A copy of her report is
attached to the minutes kept by the Secretary for the archives, and is available
upon request.
Zone 7 – Neil Cross: Reported he had visited Kimberly, Twin
Falls, Twin Falls Monarch, & Valley Lions Clubs & says they are doing well.
Zone 8 – Pat Campbell: Noted growth in his Zone is visible.
Zone 9 – Loren Honstead: Announced Vallivue Club is putting on a
“Pigs n’ Poker party September 24th. He encouraged all to attend.
He said the Emmett Lions have two new members, and is busy with Boy Scout
projects. He said the Nampa Lions are going strong & were very successful with
their Stampede project. The Caldwell Lions are gearing up for their local fair.
He also noted that the Valley Crisis Center had filed bankruptcy & that the
Hope’s Doors Center is also struggling to stay in business. He suggested
donations be collected to support these two organizations to keep their doors
open.
