Congratulations to District Governor Skipper Bob and District 4-C4 for being awarded the Cruising Fast Start Award by International President Wayne Madden. As IP Wayne Madden states: "My winning formula is: Dedication + Preparation + Teamwork = EXCELLENCE." and we truly are a GREAT Team that does "Roar Like Lions" as PIP Kay K. Fukushima always advised.

Lions International President Wayne Madden states "A key to finishing strong is to have a strong start whenever possible. The 2012 2013 World of Service Fast Start. Awards recognize district governors who achieve strong membership results in the first four months of their year.Qualifications for the awards Cruising Speed Level Award: Two new clubs or positive net growth by October 31. International President Wayne Madden states "Successful race teams employ a well thought out strategy, and devise a formula for excellence.
My winning formula is:
Dedication + Preparation + Teamwork = EXCELLENCE

Lions Clubs International Committed
to be the Knights of Blind 

At the MD-4 Council of Governor's Cabinet Meeting, each District was provided with Certificates for free vision testing and new prescription glasses through VSP and California Vision Care. We are participating in the program because You and I are Committed to be the Knights of the Blind. These programs and their benefits go a long way to fulfill our obligation to Helen Keller to help others with vision disabilities.

How Does It Work? The California Vision Project provides forms for vision testing and new prescription glasses. However, there is a small nominal administrative fee of $20.00 per application with CVP, so it's not totally free. There are minimum eligibility requirements such as being partially employed, having no vision care insurance, not having an eye exam for the previous 2 years and have a low income.

2nd VDG Jack Van Etten is the liaison with each and every club in District 4-C4.  He has the certificates and application forms for this project.
