above the actual amount we have collected. That will be addressed when the treasurer,
outgoing and incoming presidents (budget committee) meet to work up the budget for
2014-15 which begins in July. The Treasurers report was approved as presented.

volunteering, our invited speaker will talk about volunteering and David Lin and David
Hunter will work on pictures/presentations to add to the facebook page

Slide 10
After that, Sam introduced our speaker, 1-E District Governor, Butch Guennewig.
Slide 11
Butch never dreamed that as a Lions Governor he would be a Pin Salesman.
Slide 12
The Governor’s pin is free and large, so wear one and advertise the Arcola Lions. He
was also selling the one advertising the International Convention in Canada.
Slide 13
He spoke about the Lions “LeaderDogs” program. Unfortunately, District 1-E has not
been very generous, with only $100 donation last year.
Slide 14
It costs $35,000 to raise and train a Leader Dog. For someone in our club who might
need a dog, it can be provided free.
Slide 15
They train with the dog for a couple of weeks.
Slide 16
He gave out a Quarters booklet that will hold $5, which is the way Lions will be
collecting for LeaderDogs. Please visit the website: Leaderdog.org
Slide 17
The Candy Day Jamboree will be held in Arcola. At the State Convention 1-E and 1-L
merger will be on the ballot.
Slide 18
All districts are expected to have 1,250 members and 35 clubs. We are now below that
and are considered a transitional District. This is a problem for several reasons.
Slide 19
Governor Butch then presented our Chevron awards.

Herb Bail was given the 50 years attendance award. Other awardees were Pedro
Heller and Robert Tuchel.
Slide 21
The Governor’s banner was then presented to our club.
