Oops, did you forget your PU 101?

My PU what? The PU 101 is the name given to the officer reporting form that LCI (Lions Clubs International) requests that you fill out to report your incoming officers. It is available online on the LCI website and either the club secretary or president has access and can submit it. The due date was May 15, but if you missed the deadline you can still submit it-and the sooner the better!

By submitting your new officer information, your club secretary and president will be given a password that they can use to submit the monthly membership and activity reports. They will also receive the LCI communications that are sent out periodically. And it's not just for LCI-your District Governor and Communications chairperson will also have the information so your club will be in the loop with what's happening in the other clubs and around District 39W.

If you have any problems submitting the info, contact your friendly IT Chair through the website. Or submit a comment below.

Who parks all those cars?

Every now and then, but not nearly often enough, someone brings a great Lions club event or project to my attention. Today I want to pass along a project that's been going on for 48 years. Since 1965 the Twin Falls Lions Club has been parking cars at the Twin Falls County Fair. This involves a lot more than just directing traffic. It begins with 12 acres of pasture that the Lions section off into rows for parking and lanes for driving. They pound steel posts into the ground for markers, direct cars where to park, and attend the lot throughout the 6 day fair. But it's not over until the lot is cleaned up and restored to its original condition, 10 days after they drove in the first stake. It somehow doesn't look like all work and no play! Congratulations to PDG Don Rahe who has been the Fair Parking Chairperson for the last 10 years for another successful project!

The challenge-sending kids to winter camp

Times are tough. Budget cuts are looming around around the state of Idaho as the legislature begins its session. I'm not getting on a soapbox about where the money should or should not be spent in Idaho, but I want to bring to your attention a potential shortfall that would affect some folks near and dear to the hearts of Lions-the students at the Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind . Each winter the school sponsors a winter camp for kids. Additional funds that may be needed this year would cover transportation and lodging costs of kids going to camp. The money in jeopardy amounts to about $2,300. Let's see....50 clubs in 39W.....$2,300......that's less than $50 per club....it seems obvious.... The Challenge The Star Lions Club has pledged $100 (through club and individual donations) to help with the transportation costs to send the kids to camp. They are issuing a challenge to the other clubs of District 39W to pledge at least $50 for this cause. "Alon
