Hurricane Katrina ** Help Needed  ** Lions LCIF Provide aide    

Lions Foundation Help for Hurricane Katrina  web site:  http://www.lionsclubs.org/EN/content/lions_lcif_katrina.shtml

This news story from Lions International:
LCIF will do all it can to help victims recover their lives. LCIF has awarded a US$200,000 Major Catastrophe Grant to help victims. I also have approved emergency grants for districts affected by the hurricane. Three US$10,000 emergency grants have been awarded for Districts 8-O, 8-S 8-I in Louisiana. I expect many emergency grants to be approved very soon when district governors are able to contact us.

LCIF has set up a designated fund for Lions and others who wish to help the hurricane victims. Checks can be mailed to LCIF at 300 W. 22nd St., Oak Brook, IL 60523, USA. Make the check payable to LCIF and indicate on the memo line that the donation is for Hurricane Katrina.

All donations for Hurricane Katrina count toward a club’s and district’s giving totals. (Donations from U.S. residents also are tax deductible.) However, these donations are not eligible for Melvin Jones Fellowship recognition.

As with other large-scale disasters, I am sure Lions are eager to assist victims in various ways besides donating funds. To help facilitate the expected volunteer efforts of Lions, with the approval of the executive officers, I have appointed a steering committee of four leading Lions from the four states most affected by the tragedy to serve as liaisons between LCIF, Lions in the disaster areas and Lions who want to help.

You should also know that International President Ashok Mehta has issued a statement on the hurricane on the Lions’ Web site. Please take a minute to read his words of consolation and encouragement.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those in the affected areas. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Yours in Service,   Clement F. Kusiak,
Lions LCIF Chairperson

Donation Policy

What we support, how to receive our help.

 DONATION POLICY

In 1997 the Kenai Lions Club adopted the attached Policy for Providing Assistance.  The priority for providing assistance in the form of donations is as follows:

1. Eye Related Organizations (e.g. Leader Dogs, Freedom Guide Dogs, Sight First)

2. Health Related Organizations (e.g. LionsQuest)

3. Local Organizations with emphasis on youth (e.g. Little League)

4. Local Organizations with education components (Challenger Space Center)

5. Lions Organizations (e.g. Kenai Peninsula Lions Clubs, International, Lions Club Foundation)

6. Other Local Organizations

 Generally, the Kenai Lions Club will not make donations to individuals or to organizations for specific individuals; for travel, prizes or awards-even if youth groups; for foreign exchange or other such endeavors of individuals. The Club reserves the right to recognize past practices in determining whether or not to fund any particular request.
