PDG Scheller program on
Campaign 100:
Lion
Scheller stated that we are blessed to live in the United States as if we make
$40,000 a year we are better off than 99% of the rest of the world’s
population. He then spoke about LCIF and
its impact. For every $1 donated $1.80
is received back. LCIF provided a
matching grant for the 2 KID’S SIGHT vans that are in South Dakota. He then stated that 25,000 people die of
preventable causes every day and that 17,000 are under the age of 6. Lions Clubs International have reduced that
number by the things we do.
Lion Scheller observed that Lions provide support
with clean water, we support cancer research, we support diabetes prevention and
we have an objective to raise $300 million from clubs worldwide. Lion Scheller challenged us to give a mere
.27+ a day to LCIF to achieve this goal. Break for meal with a blessing
by Lion D. Neumeister.
