District Convention Newsbreak
Beryl O. Monkee and DG Eric Ahlbrand
(Beryl is on the left)
This photo was taken
at a
monkey bar
in a sports bar....Scotty's Brewhouse on the Levee in West Lafayette.
Planning for the District Convention was the topic, and those present
included: DG Eric, Lion Karen, PDG Charlie, and 1st VDG Pat.
We had the waitress pull up an extra chair for Beryl O. Monkee but it
didn’t matter a great deal.Beryl was really “socked” and kept sliding
off his chair and under the table. DG Eric offered support and offered
to buy lunch. Beryl didn't eat much, as bananas were not on the menu.
The DG munched on an ice-cube and kept his cool.
As a consultant, Beryl is expected to be quite valuable. He certainly is at home with trees, currently an International Project. He will be accompanying DG Eric to different locations around the District, and photos will be posted on our Facebook page as they become available. So "like" our Facebook page in order to participate. If you think you know where Beryl O. Monkee is in these photos, submit your answer at the District 25-C Convention. The first Lion to correctly guess the location, where each photo was taken will win a prize, which will be awarded at the Convention. If you think you know where Beryl O. Monkee is in these photos, bring your guesses to the Convention. Prizes for correct answers. Hint - rumor has it that Beryl will be participating in the next official DG visit to Frankfort. Beryl requested to go—something about “monkey business”.
Beryl has also expressed interest in being at the District Convention, where he will consider offering his services to the highest bidder. It could be a really swinging convention—but more on that later.

KidSight Screening
Dear 25C Preschool Vision Screeners,
I’m writing with 4 purposes in mind.
First, the S08 camera system we use in 25C has been scheduled for the following dates:
· February 7 and 8, 2012
· March 16 thru March 22, 2012
· August 27 thru August 31, 2012
· September 16 thru September 28, 2012
Second, if you are looking to locate potential new screening sites go to the website: www.childcarefinder.in.gov and click on the tab “Locate Child Care/See Inspection Reports”. You can search by county, city or zip code (see attachment).
Third, Janice Chapman, State Program Coordinator KidSight sent me an email (see e-mail attachment) concerning children who may be screened with our KidSight S08 camera, basically preschoolers ages 18 months thru 6 years of age. I called her to CONFIRM that while our S08 camera is NOT to be used with school age screenings; IT CAN BE USED TO SCREEN VISION AT KINDERGARTEN ROUND-UPS. Our S08 system is NOT configured for grades 1,2,3,and up.
Fourth, in the most recent issue of our Lions Magazine (February 2012), the article “Sight Savers” on pages 24-26 deals with preschool vision screenings. Our own Janice Chapman is featured on page 26.
Keep up the good work with Operation KidSight screenings; your service is a tremendous blessing to Hoosier preschoolers.
Yours truly in Lionism,
Mike Joyce

Reported by Lion Cathy Frederick, Lizton Lions Club
The Super Bowl is coming to Indianapolis! Exciting for sports fans, as well all of the surrounding communities. The Town of Zionsville signed up to be a Super Celebration site and agreed to help host the 170,000 guests that are expected to descend on Indianapolis for the big game. The town needed help. They turned to the Zionsville Lions, for use of the park, but more importantly the 130 members who could serve as hosts and helpers. Lions Park will turn into a Winter Wonderland during the weekend of the Super Bowl (February 3-5). It'll be offering ice skating and a downhill toboggan run (80 feet). The park Gazebo will be a warming hut, and will include a S'mores pit and a place to get hot chocolate.The Super Bowl coming to Indianapolis will be Super fun, and the Zionsville Lions are hoping to make it a special time for those who visit our community. Proceeds of the Winter Fest will go to support projects that the Lions serve. Join your fellow Lions in Zionsville for some winter fun at this weekend "carnival."

This is a great group of Leos. Last year they worked hard enough to earn recognition by the Lions International President and an award for PDG Billy Chastain.
Congratulations Leos. Keep up the good work.
Ken Crook, a volunteer for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, spoke to the Brownsburg Lions about the activities of the Society. The focus in on individuals and families that need just a little help to make it through a period of misfortune. You can reach him at info@svdpindy.org.
Lion Secretary Gretchen Xinopoulos presented Lion Mark Bogle with state pins she got at the MidWinter Conference. Lion Mark is a dedicated worker in the Brownsburg Lions Club, and he appreciated the pins very much.
The Auditorium at Lawrence High School is spacious and full of ambience. The small screen in the picture is where the captions appeared in real time. This was the first time for CART Services to be used to improve the quality of participation of Lions in major meetings in Indiana. CART stands for Communications Access Real-time Translation
Susie Wollenwweber provided CART Services for the Saturday afternoon session of the MidWinter Conference.
The Service was jointly sponsored by the Indiana Lions Speech and Hearing and Relay Indiana.
These organizations are considering whether to make the CART Service a part of meetings such as MidWinter Conference.
If you have comments you would care to share, please contact the webmaster.
Susie Wollenweber typed away the entire afternoon to ensure that the remarks of the speakers, and in many cases questions from the audience, were available in text immediately.
Since about 1/3 of the Lions have a hearing problems this was a significant step to testing the benefits of captioned presentations.
Responses from attendees were positive and will be used to determine in captioning should be used in the future.
If you have comments on real time captioning please send them to the webmaster.
1st VDG Pat Short and Lion Tyler Best look over some fine points of technology at the Conference.
PID Joe Preston filled in for 1st International Vice President Wayne Madden. Director Preston did a fine job. He does talk a little fast for someone from the south.
PDG SteveMarsh is the Secretary of the Indiana Lions Foundation, and will be the 1st Vice President soon.
It was a battle of the cameras. Lion Melissa Baker and Lion Jerry Wright were in charge of the Speech and Hearing Display. This group does a great job. Cummulative donations could get your club a Richard T. Miyamoto award for a deserving Lion, or a member of the community.
DG Fred Wattula is always dapper. This year was no exception.
PDG Ron Spivey presents the Indiana Lions Speech and Hearing award to the lucky winner.
Lion Gretchen Xinopoulos, Brownsburg, accepts the First Place Attendance Award from PDG Mark Clark.
