IMPORTANT LCIF INFORMATION – SAMOA, PHILIPPINES & INDONESIA

To All Club Presidents/Secretaries

I am writing to advise you that there are three new Appeal Funds in place after the disasters of the last week.

The Appeals are:

Relief for Samoa - An emergency grant of $10,000 has already been granted to New Zealand Lion 202-K as American Samoa and Samoa are located in this District for immediate relief supplies. A designated account has been setup to accept donations from the Lions family worldwide.

LCIF Assistance for Philippines Typhoon Relief - Three emergency grants of $10,000 have been awarded to three Lions Districts in MD 301 to purchase immediate relief supplies. Again a designated fund is in place for this disaster.

Earthquake in Indonesia 2009 - LCIF is working with local Lions to respond to massive earthquake that rocked Pandang, Indonesia. As of October 2, at least 1,100 people are dead and many more are missing. Officials believe 90 percent of the residents – as many as a few hundred people – were buried. Three villages were flattened to rubble. LCIF is in contact with local Lions and as further information is received it will be posted on the LCIF website.

Clubs wishing to make a donation to any of the funds should send the cheque to me made payable to Lions Clubs International and endorsed on the back with the appeal fund name to the following address:

Lion Brenda Wood,
Park House
Lattiford
Holton
Somerset
BA9 8AF

If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.

Many thanks

Yours in Lionism
