At the recent MD201 Convention in Mildura, the Australian Lions Foundation
announced four Lions had been awarded acknowledgements for their
contribution to Lions and the community by appointing them to the ALF "Hall
of Fame". The four recipients were - PDG Bob Korotcoff (C2), PCC Ambose
Depiazzi (W2), PDG Garth Gleeson (Q2) and Lion Dick Strickland (T1). Two of the
recipients being PDG Bob Korotcoff and PDG Garth Gleeson were at the Convention
to receive their Certificates. Lions Dick Strickland was presented with his
Certificate at the T1 Convention and PCC Ambrose will receive his Certificate
after the Convention.
We congratulate all recipients and thank them for their service.

Australian Lions Foundation will be represented at the International Convention to be held in
Sydney this year. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to show what is
being done by the Foundation to support clubs and other areas in the
world…It will also give us the opportunity to show many how we work with our
partners such as LCIF in supporting needs in our Multiple District.
Conventions can rob you of valuable lead-time
in the ordering of awards.
The ALF Trustees are all required to attend
convention. We have the AGM to attend, voting for changes to the Trust Deeds if
required, voting for Trustees as their terms expire, manning the display booth
to answer your questions, and so the list goes on.
This means, of course, that Treasurer Damian
is not at home to bank your cheques when they arrive and forward the award
application to Awards Coordinator
When you consider that the Trustees may also
take the opportunity to have their annual break around convention, it can mean
that nothing happens for at least a week and maybe longer. The awards are
manufactured in Tasmania, and the 4 weeks requested as the minimum lead-time can
easily be reduced quite dramatically due to these absences, and this places
unnecessary stress on all concerned.
SO, please bear this in mind when you are determining which deserving Lion, or
person you will nominate to be honoured with an ALF award. Place your
application as early as you can so that the Trustees don’t have to contact you
with the bad news that the awards that you require can’t be delivered in time
for the presentation.
Continue to support YOUR Foundation as you have done so well in the past, but
PLEASE get your applications in early to avoid disappointment, particularly
around Convention time.
