PRESIDENT”S MESSAGE (CON’T.)

(Continued from page 1)

Children were at the top of our list in May as 10 Markham Li- ons attended the St Andrew’s United Sleeping Children Gala on May 8. I was honoured to be able to present a cheque on behalf of our 49 members to Dave Dryden for $540 which will buy bedkits for 15 street children in India. Thanks go to the Gala management for allowing Lion Ken Harris and your president to erect a Markham Lions display in the lobby. Dave Dryden later personally thanked Lion Ken and I for the marvelous support that the Lions have provided for his charity over the years. And of course what would May be without Flowers and Fireworks? These events bring out the best in our club as everyone’s in- volved in raising enough funds to carry on our work here in Mark- ham. Both events are pointing to success as Lion Jack has re- ported Flower Sales of over $27,000 ($4,000 over last year) and the Fireworks will equal last year’s efforts with a strong Monday. Thanks to everyone for their dedication to Lionism. Later on May 29, Lion Bruce and his committee will be flipping hamburgs to feed the hungry kids and teachers at William Armstrong Public School as part of the Community Service program. At our last fund raiser of this Lions year on June20- 21, we’ll all be flipping pancakes in our annual Witamore Farm Strawberry Fun Fair. Let’s make a real effort to get out to serve the public and get the Lions name front and centre in the public eye……as well as earn funds for our programs. An important day for the Club this spring will be June13 with the official opening of the Markham Lions display at the Markham Museum. It doesn’t seem possible that it was almost a year ago that the Ontario Trillium Foundation presented us with the funds to complete this project. The last part of the project, a 9 minute video about our history, has been completed and the committee is wrapping up some loose ends. To help us celebrate with the Museum staff and the local politicians at 1 pm, everyone should make a special effort to attend, wearing all your Lions regalia. This has been a grueling year for Lion Jim and Jack in putting all the pieces of this massive project together. From the parts that I

Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) donations provide bedkits to children of any race and/or religion who will benefit the most; typically being located in underdeveloped and developing countries.

No portion of a bedkit donation is spent on administration — 100% reaches a needy child. Each *$35 donation (Canadian funds) provides a bedkit that consists of a mat or mattress, pillow, sheet, blanket, mosquito net (if applicable), clothes outfit, towel and school supplies. Bedkit contents vary from country to country depending upon local needs.

Since its founding by Murray and Margaret Dryden in 1970, SCAW has raised over $20 million to provide bedkits for over 900,000 children in 33 countries. In 2009 we will reach our millionth child.

Every child is photographed with the bedkit, showing the donor's name/country (or special occasion message) on a label.

Each photograph is then mailed back to the original donor, providing a timeless way for the donor to remember the child who so greatly benefited from their generosity.
