Firstly from District Communications Officer
The District website has been updated to reflect DG George coming into office, so please look at the site, so you know who is doing what this year. Also all District officers have generic email accounts, so for example, DG George can be reached on DG@lions105ea.com. To stop these being spammed, if you wish a full copy please drop me a line, thanks

Issue 6 needs to be in early to accommodate the Christmas
Holiday period and Issue 9 will be the Convention Issue collected from the
printers on Thursday 18th ex works from Micropress.
Issue 12 will be the Royal Norfolk Show issue, additional
copies sent direct to David Pye for the show on July 1st
& 2nd , 2009.
(These dates will allow the editor time to publish &
approve proofs and so that
sufficient time is available for printer queries without reference to a
particular cut off date to the Printer – the only date that is important to
remember is the one listed above..)
Could the District Governor arrange for his 6 week Event
Diary to be included with his Monthly news letter.
The Diary should include all District events, Charter invitations and
club visits he is aware of from the 1st of the month following the
Issue deadline date for the following 6 weeks.
His letter should be gauged to around 400 words (this is 340) – New
Members joining the previous month will be added but will, unless there are
extreme circumstances, be those listed in the Administration Officers Monthly
submission. In other words
clubs reporting direct to the editor regarding new members will not necessarily
see said members in the New members list in the issue their article appears.-
but subsequently when processed by Lion John Fox
Copy can be sent by mail or @mail
- photographs should be commercial print quality i.e.
300dpi or more -
if posted and materials are required to be returned a stamped addressed
envelope is requested..
