There are no January Birthdays.

From the Secretary

As the year closes and we take time to reflect on the 
things we have accomplished, we need to take a personal 
inventory on our involvement in Lionism. 

We all have a story to tell on what brought us to want to 
participate in and join the Lions Club. We need to 
remind ourselves that the effort we put into the Lions 
Club continues to ripple out into the community and 
then comes back to us.  

To hear the stories of the people 
helped and see the "thank you"s from the organizations 
we help goes toward renewing our commitment to serve.
When we make our New Year's resolution, lets reserve 
time to continue benefiting others lives through the 
Lions Club.

Multiple District Four Convention

Don't forget this years Multiple District Four (MD-4) 
Convention, February 11 thru 13, 2005, which will be 
held in San Diego at the Town and Country Hotel. 

P.D.G. Eddie Keyse and his wife Chris will be attending. 
Eddie hopes that many more San Pedro Lions Club 
members will also attend. P.D.G. Eddie wrote in the last 
Lions Tale:

"In past years we always had good attendance at these 
conventions, but not lately. You, as Lions, can learn a lot 
about your organization and at the same time have a lot 
of fun.
The San Pedro Lions Club will pay your registration fee, 
see the attached sheets. For more information about the 
convention, please feel free to give me a call."

Lions Club Rose Parade Float

Since 1992, Lions Clubs International has had a float in 
the New Year's Day Tournament of Roses Parade in 
Pasadena, California.  Two of our entries, in 1993 and 
1994, won awards for the most beautiful floats in the 
parade.   But all entries have been winners, presenting 
Lions an opportunity to promote our service activities to 
people worldwide that watch the float each year.  
This year's entry is entitled "Pride" and can be seen at 
the Lions Floats, Inc. web site, 
http://www.lionsrosefloat.com. 

Don't miss seeing the Lions Club float when you watch 
the Rose Parade on TV!
