Welcome Lions Members

Well I must say that I'm on a learning curve and as such have to play around with this till I get the hang of it.
In coming weeks it will be open to all to see, but only posts allowed by our Lions Club members, and also the District Governor, Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Treasurer, who will have the opportunity to pass on any urgent and relevant information.
The main focus should be for members to advise the rest of the club about happening, project reports etc. and for the Club Board to post any important information.
This is a new form of communication that is taking off in other Lions clubs and is being adopted by some clubs already in Tasmania. The City of Devonport being one of them, also Penguin has come on line but is still under development.
This page so far carries a profile (mine, I had to use something to practice with) and a few stories and images.
It can be accessed from our website using the link "Quick Info" in the Navigation column. You will note that I have used the panorama image of Burnie at the top as used on the website. Just little tricks I'm finding as I go along.
Comments, or constructive critisms are welcome.

Comments contary to the Ethics and Objects of Lionism will be removed promptly.

Hi to all our Lions members and friends,
As a result of the Lions Training seminar at Penguin Sunday 19th April Lion Walter Van Praag from the City of Devonport outlined the use of a blogger page attached to his club's website. This allows members to post comments, reports, and images to the blog page direct and encourage members to make use of it.
As a consequence your website team are now developing it for the use of the members.
The image at the left is one taken by Lion Walter of me holding the Bannerette sent to me by Lion Richard Carlson, Secretary of the Chicago Central Lions Club, Illonois, USA. This is the only Lions Club that has no official charter and is refered to as the "Mother Club of Lionism."
Founded by Melvin Jones and his Insurance friends who were concerned with the Objects and Ethics within the Insurance industry in 1908. They formed a business man's club which in 1917 became the first Lions Club. Because Melvin Jones was so engrossed with the expansion of Lions Clubs, it wasn't till 1920 - 21 that he assumed the role of President of his home club.
This information is not to be currently found on the Lions Clubs International website. Lion Richard imparted this information to me when he visited Burnie Saturday 21st March whilst on a cruise ship stop over. My thanks go to him for the valuable information he passed on.

Lion John Medwin, Zone 2 & 4 Chairman District 201T1, Australia.
