Coolum Beach Convention 2018
Members of our Club had a really great time at the Coolum Convention. Great guest speakers, amazing fellowship and really friendly people, all enjoying the days and nights with fellow Lions. People of all ages coming together to meet new friends and enjoying time with old friends too.
Congratulations to our bright shining star Kirra Shelton who spoke of her experiences in the Youth Exchange Student Program. You did us proud Kirra ...well done...super delivery.
David Watts was elected as 1st Vice District Governor for 2019-2020 which was well deserved. This recognition was a reward for his dedication and hard work and one step closer to his goal of District Governor.
This was a great moment for Tewantin Noosa Lions Club and we were all very proud of him and his achievement.
Lion Chris Pullin made a presentation for the 2021 Convention to be held by Tewantin Noosa Lions. Our Club was successful in the bid for the Convention and created lots of excitement.
We are now looking forward to making the 2021 Convention a time to remember for all Lions who attend.
Michael Roach informed all Lions of the progression of the Drought Relief Fundraising throughout Queensland. He told us all about Jericho and their plight and how the people of this town are very appreciative of everything that we are doing for them.
The Remembrance Ceremony was a special event and the weather was very kind to all and made this part of the Convention very pleasant to remember our past Members. It was fabulous to see Michael and Annette O’Brien present. Welcome back, we have missed you both.

Drought Relief News from Michael Roach
Drought News from Michael and Jay Roach
To our Club Members,
Thank you for the time spent on your feet cooking sausages to provide the money to purchase emergency food for the drought-affected dairy farming family in Wondai. They have been really struggling over the past few months with many hurdles faced of finances, health, weather, age etc., and the statement was made to us “I don’t think I will be able to put food on the table for us”.
We were able to supply groceries, fresh fruit & veg. kindly donated from the Tewantin Green Grocer, meat purchased from the butcher in Wondai, an electric beater, footwear & Noosa Heads Lions dropped off a box of goodies. Mark Shelton rallied to the cause with large size boots and 2 Visa cards for fuel and general purchases.
You may wonder about the electric beater – Ruth has been making cakes & scones selling them door to door in town to make some income as lack of nutritious feed for stock meant greatly reduced milk production and then when it did rain the cows stopped producing milk!! Stupid things!
Our dear friend Steve Priest’s clothes were put to great use as he was the same size as our farmer & Adele, he will look amazing in Steve’s floral boardies in the mud around the dairy!
The area received 100 millimetres of rain in that stormy period 2 weeks ago, the sun has come out and the grass is green and you are inclined to think “what drought”! We experienced “experienced green drought’ in Canberra so we know it is just a tease!
Last night the family rang to pass on their sincere thanks & stated that they hadn’t eaten meat for 6 months & were over the moon about the corned silver-side.
So, to all of you, I say thank you from Michael & I and also one dairying family who are just over the range from Noosa.
Regards,
Jay

Initial “Lions Lap the Map for Diabetes” Sunday 17th November 2019
Earlier this year, the Multiple District 210 Council of Governors adopted a policy that clubs should be encouraged to conduct activities and projects that promote healthy lifestyle and improve education awareness about Diabetes.
To support this policy, all Clubs are encouraged to participate in a National Day of Action which we are calling “LIONS LAP THE MAP FOR DIABETES” to support World Diabetes Day (WDD) on 14th Nov 2019. MD201 clubs are asked to stage this event on Sunday 17 November 2019 on a day in November which suits their local community.
The “signature activity” will be a self-paced “low level” walk of varying distances as set in each location, but not exceeding 5 km, with “time of day” also to suit local conditions.

Registering for your new "Lion Account"

More details: https://vimeo.com/324982169?fbclid=IwAR2bCT_3pZkv8hiJjIo7iXULOz4Si-ZZb3Q6jeF3ciI-E27f6h_pilprjBo

Changes to the way you login to MyLCI
From March 27, 2019 all our Lions digital applications will be grouped into a single account, which will be called your Lion Account. This account will use a single, universal login system. Instead of using different credentials to login to different applications, we’ll use one User ID and Password to access them all (MyLion, MyLCI, Shop and upcoming applications).
For MyLion users—you’re all set! Your MyLion credentials will work for your Lion Account.
URL for MyLon on Web https://app.mylion.org
MyLCI users will be asked to create a Lion Account if they have not already registered on MyLion.
We recognize this will be a short term disruption for all MyLCI users, but we believe this approach will have big benefits in the future as we add/improve applications and give our members a great online space to be Lions. Login and register at https://app.mylion.org/ and if you need help getting registered, please reach out to us at mylion@lionsclubs.org
