Lions
Aloha!! CC Lora has asked me to put together an appeal to help the Lions of Hawaii.

I have been in contact with ID Bob Lee to see how things are and to find out what ways we here in Illinois can help. First of all ID Bob and Pam and PID Maurice and Lani are doing well. LCIF has been in contact with the Lions on the island and emergency funds have already been sent to them. With LCIF Grants there are conditions on the way those funds can be spent and there are times that there are other things needed that are supported by the local clubs through the Hawaiian Lions Foundation.

I am asking each district if they would send out the Appeal Letter that is attached. This appeal gives the Lions, clubs and the district ways that they can help our fellow Lions in Hawaii. We have had a close relationship with Lions that are from Maui and now they can use our help.

So, I thank you for your help and kind consideration as well as showing our generosity and friendship to our friends in Hawaii. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Mahalo nui loa!! (thank you very much)
