Iamincredibly honoured to be beginning this year as your International President. My theme is We Serve, and Iamexcited about what we can achievetogetherthroughservice. We have alot to do,and I’m ready to help youtakeafew steps out of your comfort zone. Being aLion isn’tabout doing the same thing year after year in the name of tradition. Being aLion means looking for how youcan best be of service. Sometimes, that requires creativeproblem solving. If you’re not sure what that means or how to do it, I’m going to help you. “Being daring is part of our Lion DNA Here are afew things Iwant us to focus on this year: ” Membership.It’soneveryone’smind. How can we not only recruit new members, but keep our current members and build leaders who can takeour work into this next century of service? One waywecan do this is through balanced membership,including both genders and people from all walks of life, who can bringtheir life experiences to bear on the service work we do. Friendship.Comradery has alwaysbeen apart of the experience of being aLion. We don’twant to lose sight of the importance of building friendships through service. There is nothing that can bond people more closely than working together to help others. Yes, we have alot of work to do to reach our goal of serving 200 million people per year.Wemust organise better,account for our work better,bemore creativeinhow we approach problems. But we do not have to do it withoutasense of humour,asense of fun. Lastly,Iwant to revivealost art. And that’s the art of storytelling. After your Club completesaservice project, takeamoment to write down the story of your work. Who did youhelp? Why? What circumstances led youtoreach out in that particular way? It’s through stories that we connect and learn. And if we share those stories with otherslooking to serve, we can multiply our capacityfor change. Lions, Iamexcited to be your new President.Iamready to makethis ayear in which we all reachnew horizons when We Servetogether.

  • Language and Cultural Barriers Pertaining to the Polish Army’S 1St Armoured Division in Normandy, August 1944
    POLES APART: Language and Cultural Barriers Pertaining to the Polish Army’s 1st Armoured Division in Normandy, August 1944. by Robert Schuman Williams A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (May, 2017) Copyright ©Robert Schuman Williams, 2017 Abstract This thesis is a study of the effects language and culture on military operations using the experience of the 1st Polish Armoured Division under command of the II Canadian Corps in North Western Europe in August 1944. The challenges in multinational operations have been, and remain, understanding both allies and the environment in which one is going to be conducting operations. Rapid mutually intelligible communication is a key factor to mission success, whether during high tempo operations or while conducting deliberate planning and administrative work with non-English speaking allies. This dissertation begins with background material on the cultural and linguistic effects on multi- national military operations, examining literature on the diaspora Polish communities and what has been said about the Polish and Canadian armies’ performances in North-West Europe in August 1944. This is followed by a description of the Pigeau-McCann common intent factors that will be used as a framework to highlight what could be done to overcome the effects of language and culture on the employment of military units and formations. Particular emphasis is placed on the effects of culture on leadership in both interpersonal and staff interactions, using the Pigeau- McCann Balanced Command Envelope (BCE) as a subsidiary model to help describe the effect that two commanders, Maczek and Simonds, had on the achievement of common intent.

  • 4Th January 1862 BROSELEY. FUNERAL of GEORGE PRITCHARD, ESQ. HIGH SHERIFF. the Funeral of Mr. Pritchard Took Place on Tuesday La
    4th January 1862 BROSELEY. FUNERAL OF GEORGE PRITCHARD, ESQ. HIGH SHERIFF. The funeral of Mr. Pritchard took place on Tuesday last, attended by those marks of respect which showed how unmistakeably his loss was felt by his neighbours, and by the surrounding gently. The hundreds of persons official, and private—who volunteered, in sorrow, their presence as a mark of respect at the last sad rites of his funeral—the clamed shutters and muffled peals of the bells in the town and village churches surrounding his residence--attest earnestly, though simply, the public and private feelings those who knew and appreciated Mr. George Pritchard. A feeling of deep sorrow and regret at the loss of this amiable and estimable man pervades the whole district, and it will be long before the memory of his character and good deeds will be effaced from the winds of any whose privilege it has been to come within the influence of his warm-hearted and bountiful benevolence. We believe we do not exaggerate when we state that the late Mr. Pritchard devoted nearly the whole of his very large income to charitable purposes. The Clergy of the neighbourhood, the Mayors, Town Clerks, Aldermen, and Town Councillors of Wenlock and Bridgnorth, met at the Town-hall, and proceeded in a body to the residence of the deceased, accompanied by the members of the Board of Guardians, the members of the Broseley Provident Society, and the gentry and tradespeople of the neighbourhood. As the funeral cortège left the house, these joined in, and the procession, in the following order, proceeded to the church:- The ceremony took place at twelve o’clock precisely.
