A Few Words to Clubs from DG Rick

Welcome to the unofficial start to our Lions year. Just want to start with a few housekeeping items:

  1. Outstanding balances are now due to Lions International. Payments outstanding later than 90 day, not 120 as in the past, will result in the club being placed in financial suspension. The PAD program for payments is highly recommended - more reliable than cheques and mail service!
  2. In the unfortunate situation that an active member on your roster passes away, please notify SVDG Chris Duncan -> mailto:vdg2.obfuscated.a15lions@org. He is responsible for sharing the information across the district and for assembling the list for the convention memorial service.
  3. Lions are the best kept secret. Please report your service and fundraising projects in the portal. Meetings count too - did you discuss an upcoming event? Report it. LCI uses the information in the portal for many things including soliciting donations from other foundations. Help us to help you. Please file your actions in the portal.
  4. There are no paper invoices from internation anymore. Everything is on the portal for your club. If you need assistance with anything please ask.

Wishing you all the best in the upcoming Lions year. Until our paths cross, have a great day!

Yours in Service,
Richard G Mallon [Rick}
District Governor
District A-15

From Around The District

Dear Lions,

As Lions, our global mission of service is at the forefront of all we do. For over a decade, the Lions of Canada Fund for LCIF has supported Lions humanitarian efforts in Canada and beyond.

Unfortunately, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has determined that the Lions of Canada Fund for LCIF does not meet the requirements for charitable status in Canada. Consequently, effective March 16, 2026, the charitable registration with the CRA for the Lions of Canada Fund for LCIF will end.

What this means for you:

  • Tax Receipts: Any donation received before March 16 to the Lions of Canada Fund for LCIF will be eligible for an official charitable tax receipt.
  • Future Gifts: After March 16, donations will not be eligible for an official charitable tax receipt. The donate button on the Lions of Canada Fund for LCIF website will direct you to lionsclubs.org/donate, where you can make a donation to Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF). Gifts made by cheque should be labeled as donations to LCIF and mailed to P.O. Box 2425, Station “A,” Toronto, Ontario M5W 2K6.

While your contributions will no longer be receiptable for tax purposes in Canada, your continued support will help fund life-changing service, reaching those who need it most. Your clubs and districts will also still be eligible for LCIF grants and programs, as these are unaffected. We encourage you to take full advantage of LCIF’s grant and program opportunities to expand your humanitarian service.

The Lions of Canada Fund for LCIF will officially end all operations on February 11, 2027. For more information, contact PID Arthur Woods, Lions of Canada Fund for LCIF, president of the board, or Lion Peter Oswald, Lions of Canada Fund for LCIF, administrator.

We are grateful for the time we had to serve with our fellow Canadian Lions, and we trust that your continued generosity will improve communities around the world far into the future.

With deep gratitude,

Board of Directors
Lions of Canada Fund for LCIF
