When a group of people joins together and roll up their sleeves and take action on projects to make their community better, it’s a beautiful thing and an incredible feeling for everyone involved. Being a Lion is about leading by example, building relationships and improving the world through kindness.

Lions serve. It’s that simple, and it has been since we first began in 1917. Our clubs are places where individuals join together to give their valuable time and effort to improving their communities and the world.
Dear Lions of District 35-N:
A Few Words From DG Tony
Fellow Lions:
We enter our second month of a new lionistic year with enthusiasm regardless of the inconvenience the world is experiencing and going through during this extraordinary time due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
We cannot allow it to jeopardize our goals and we must continue to be in contact with each other, if not in the traditional way of person to person let’s do our best by doing virtual meetings as often as possible.
On July 25th we had our training session for Club Officers by virtual means. Thanks to lion Jane Colona, RC for preparing an informative presentation on how to access LCI Learning Center.
Lion Joyce Loaiza has been busy working this monthly bulletin, and she needs your help in providing her with news, activities, photos, announcements, and any other relevant information from your Club. The August 8th Council of Governors will be conducted via Zoom and our Manager/Secretary Neil Spencer, PID is requesting all MD Chairs to send him their reports.
On August 22, 2020, we will have our first District Meeting and we are asking all Zone Chairs to meet at least one week before in order to have their reports ready for the meeting. Most likely it will be a virtual meeting.
Harmony is one important issue. We cannot run a successful District if we have grievances among Clubs and members. We are many Clubs with different ideas and projects. Our District is unique and diverse as we embrace several nationalities and customs, but we are all under the umbrella of an international organization with one goal in mind, “To Serve”. We must join forces together to achieve that goal.
THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THE 2020 VISION TEAM!
Yours In Lionism,
District Governor Tony

Miami Lions Club Foundation & Corona Virus
Serving Those in Need
The foundation has just approved a $25,000 grant to buy electronic devices for blind children (mainly talking computers.) Due to the current pandemic, these children will not be able to attend their special classes and without these devices would be cut off from their studies and could fall behind.
This is in addition to $27,300 previously granted for this purpose earlier in the year. It brings total foundation grants in 2020 to various entities to $98300. During the past five years, it has disbursed almost $400,000.
In 1946 Lion Edward Dalton purchased 100 shares of IBM at approximately $900 and donated them to the club. This was a very generous gift because $900 then was equivalent to $13,708 today. His gift carried two stipulations: (1) the money was to be used to start a club foundation, and (2) the stock and subsequent dividends were not to be touched for ten years. He said in his presentation speech "I believe the company has a good future." He was absolutely right. Within ten years it grew to $160,000 including splits.
In 2021 the Miami Lions Club Foundation will celebrate 75 years of service to the blind.
