My apologies for the late posting of this newsletter.  With 28-pages this is by far the thickest weighing in at 1.3 ounces.  Needless to say, this past September was a busy month.

Also check out District 50's website at:  http://hawaiilions.org/

Other websites you may want to visit include:

http://hilocoffeemill.com/  Jeanette Baysa from Hilo Coffee Mill was one of two guest speakers in September and was featured on the Travel Channel.  You can see clips of this feature at http://hilocoffeemill.com/ 

The Office of Social Ministry (Lion Les Estrella guest speaker) has their website at:  http://www.catholichawaii.org/social_ministry/bigisle.php  for more information.

The Lions of Kathmandu all the way over in Nepal has an impressive website at:  http://www.lionsclubs.org.np/  Check out what some of our overseas Lions are doing on the other side of the world.

Aloha,

Another successful day of Waiakea Lions helping a fellow Lion and what a day it was for the moving crew!  After unloading the Harper's rental truck we thought the day was done...little did we know Lion Jonathan Lum had an offsite storage locker next to Dell's in Hilo.  Round two, a full truck later, a break for some kau kau and the moving crew was hard at work unloading the last of the pack rats.

WLC newsletter July 2009 Final Draft online.pdf (5021 KB)

Aloha Fellow Lions, Leos & CIS'
 
This is a special edition of Ka Leo O Ka Liona.  As most of you know there wasn't a June 2009 issue published so this issue contains relevant information from both May and June plus updates for July 2009 so it's a bit thicker than normal.
 
Vol 49, Issue1 is available online at:  www.waiakealionsclub.posterous.com and can be downloaded there as well into a full color, full page version .  If you're already reading this from this blogsite, thank you for visiting. For those getting this message/newsletter via email, please bookmark this blogsite so you may go directly to read updated information as they are presented as well as the most current issue of Ka Leo O Ka Liona. 
 
If you're visiting District 50's website at:  www.hawaiilions.org  click onto the "Regional Club Info" tab and select website.  In the alphabetical listing under "N-Z" select "Waiakea" to get to our blogsite as well. 
 
I'm excited to present to you this issue of Ka Leo O Ka Liona as it's my first attempt as WLC's Newsletter editor for 2009-2010 to put out a newletter both online and in print.  If there's relevant information that isn't presented or if you spot any errors please email me at either my email address at:  craigconnect@yahoo.com or at our WLC email address at:  waiakealions@yahoo.com 
 
Also if you know of someone that should or wants to be included in our email list, please let me know so I may add them in for future issues.  Otherwise direct them to our blogsite at:  www.waiakealionsclub.posterous.com so they can view/download it themselves. 
 
Currently there is still no information as to the exact date in July for the Leleiwi Beach Park Painting project.  As soon as I get that information it will be posted on our blogsite so keep checking back.
 
Mahalo for your support,

Aloha all,
 
I'm testing the email system for the second time in preparation for the July 2009 issue of WLC's Ka Leo O Ka Liona.  If you have anything to contribute to this and upcoming issues please email them to:  waiakealions@yahoo.com
 
If you received this email but know of someone else that didn't get it please let me know so I can add them to the email listing.  I am encouraging all Lions who are still receiving printed copies of the newsletter to go paperless and receive them electronically.  The newsletter will also be published on our blogsite at:  http://waiakealionsclub.posterous.com/ .  The blogsite will have each newsletter available without the need of logging into your email.  Just go to the site and read it. If you want a hard copy just print it out.  No need for PDF viewers. 
 
If you are reading this email on our blogsite, that's because this blogsite also allows for emails from waiakealions@yahoo.com to be sent to it at the editor's descretion.
 
Mahalo,

June 9, BOD Highlights.doc (858 KB)

Aloha Fellow Lions,
 
Here is the June 9th Board of Directors Meeting highlights.  Don't forget if you have anything to submit to the July newsletter please email it to:  waiakealions@yahoo.com  Send it as an attachment or include it in your email text. 
 
Here are some interesting Lions International sites that you may want to visit while surfing online:
 
1)  http://www.facebook.com/lionsclubs  In order to post you must be a registered facebook member.  Signing up is easy
 
2)  http://www.myspace.com/lionsclubsorg This site also requires you to sign up.
 
3)  http://www.hawaiilions.org/yabb/YaBB.pl  This is a forum for those who just need to talk story about District 50 events, projects or anything related to Lions and District 50.  This forum is part of...
 
4)  http://www.hawaiilions.org/  or District 50's main website devoted to Hawaii Lions clubs statewide.
 
Upcoming highlights of the Installation and Awards dinner as well as the next BOD meeting is forthcoming and will be presented in the July issue of Ka Leo O Ka Liona
 
I am in the process of updating email and regular mail addresses to accomodate both email and physical mailings of future newsletters.  I sent out an email to all email recipients that receive the electronic copy of the monthly newsletter and got a few undeliverable email returns.  If you have changed your email address please email me at: waiakealions@yahoo.com .  Currently there are about 24 email versions that go out to Waiakea Lions Club members.  Of those I got a few returned undeliverable emails.  This is why I need to confirm all WLC member email addresses.

Aloha Fellow Lions,
 
For those of you who caught my mistake, I congratulate and thank you for pointing out this simple yet critical mistake of inserting an okina into the title of our newsletter.  The proper name of our club newsletter should be:  Ka Leo O Ka Liona, meaning The Voice of the Lion.  Insertion of the okina would have changed the publication into something else.
 
Mahalo,
