Dear Lions,
Both LCI and LCIF, as well as Lions in the affected Hurricane Matthew areas, are assessing the greatest need in the aftermath of destruction. So far, LCIF has approved emergency grants in the amount of US$10,000 each for district F4 (Columbia), R1 and R3 (Domincan Republic), and Haiti. As the hurricane continues up the coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, and damage is assessed there, we expect more requests for emergency assistance. LCIF is standing by and ready to authorize grant requests.
Our centennial motto “Where There’s A Need, There’s A Lion” could not be more appropriate than in times of natural disasters when local Lions on the ground in disaster areas are able to put actions plans in place to provide much needed first response supplies of food, water, temporary shelter, and clothing.
As always, your generous donations to LCIF enable us to respond swiftly wherever and whenever the need exists.
I know you join me in keeping all the victims of this latest natural disaster in your thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Bob Corlew
