Detroit "Lions" and Update on FB



So I just heard that the newest U.S.-based Lions Club has been established in Detroit.  The Detroit Lions Club headed up by Mike Pearson.  UTV!

Have started a page on Facebook using the FB "Page" format.  The orodinal AVFC California FB page used their old "Groups" format which has only basic admin features compared to the updated "Page" format that is now used by most businesses and organziations.  I'm in the middle of moving as many of the AVFC California photos to the new page.  I will keep both pages up for a little while and then will give a warning with a date when the old "Groups" page will disappear.

More from Chicago

I wanted to share this photo of the three Lions Club chairmen that were in Chicago for the first North American Lions Club meet-up.

Time to start thinking about next year!  UTV

Momentum for an Annual Event

 
 
The 2013 North America Lions Club Meet-Up held in Chicago this past weekend was an amazing success.  Kudos to Simon Leach, chairman of the Chicago Lions Club, for taking the lead in planning and organizing the event.  A tremendous thank you to the owners and staff at The Globe in Chicago.  It was a perfect venue and we all felt right at home.  Your arranging for our match field and the "fully equipped" team bus was above and beyond the call of duty.  Thanks so much!
 
Many voices in the crowd were eager for another one next year - so I think the momentum is already building to turn this into an annual event.
