Stoves for Ukraine

After the success of last year's generators project, with $1.5 Million raised, and 2200+ generators shipped to and distributed in Ukraine, this years project for Ukraine is about delivering stoves. They can be used to cook and to heat.

With an ambitious goal of, once again, raising $1.5 Million, it would be approximately 10,000 stoves.

Please note the following:

  • All donations large or small are welcome!
  • Your donation does not have to equal the full amount of the stove to be accepted

Canadian Lions and Lions Clubs can send their donation to:
Lions of Canada Fund for LCIF
c/o Stan Durward
Box 38
Sunderland Ontario L0C 1H0

Ensure your club number and/or member number is on the check and note in the memo field - “Stoves for Ukraine”

Individuals will receive a Canada Revenue Agency [CRA] receipt as well as the applicable MJF credits. Clubs will receive the applicable MJF credits.

For questions or more information, please contact one of the A-711 LCIF Coordinators.

FORUM LEARNING AND EXHIBITS
RAMPING UP TO BE BEST EVER

STEVE SHERER, GENERAL FORUM CHAIR

Steve Sherer

As we anticipate the spring weather and the changes it brings, plans continue to move forward on Louisville. One of things highlighted in this newsletter is the Lions Speed Learning. This was a new idea implemented by last year’s General Chair Jama Wahl. When it was added to the agenda, we had no idea how it would be received. It was a great success and we had standing room only for last year’s event. We anticipate this year’s turnout will be just as great, but don’t worry. We will be in a larger space and be able to accommodate all who want to attend.

The education committee is working hard and as of my last conversation with them, there are 100 seminars on the tentative schedule. Now comes the process of recruiting moderators and facilitators for each of those sessions.

We are also working hard to recruit as many exhibitors as possible for the event. Exhibitor Chair Yves Léveillé is talking to Lions and vendors from all over and he is trying to hit a lofty goal. If you know of a vendor or an individual who might be interested in becoming an exhibitor, the exhibitor contract is located on the Forum website.

We are also planning for the auxiliary events that take place during the Forum, including several delegation breakfasts. More details will be released as they are available for each of these events.

We have an outstanding group of keynote speakers. We will begin to highlight each of them in the upcoming newsletters.

REGISTRATION RATE TO INCREASE

One key thing to take note of is the change in registration cost as of March 31. The early bird rate of $295 runs through March 31. After that date, the registration cost increases to $325. That will be in effect from April 1-May 31, 2024. If your plans include a trip to Louisville for the Forum, take advantage of the lower rate and register by the end of March.

Registration Rate Through March 31, 2024, $295.00

Registration Rate April 1, to May 31, 2024, $325.00
