PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

My Lion and Leo Family,

Welcome to the 101st Lions Clubs International Convention in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas! This special event is more than a tribute to our association. It is a celebration of the Power of We – a celebration of every Lion and Leo who has made an impact in their community. It is a recognition of all we have achieved together.

The spirit of We Serve has been on display throughout the year, thanks to the power of your action. In the final year of our Centennial Celebration, we have brought incredible kindness to the world through our generosity and service. We are uniting to take on new global causes so we can continue to confront the fundamental issues facing humanity. That’s what we have done for more than 100 years. That’s what makes us Lions.

As we join together here at convention, let us reflect on our accomplishments, renew our commitment to service, and refocus our vision on our next great century of service. We are here at the start of a new era of service. Let’s make history together.

Sincerely,

Dr. Naresh AggarwalYour International President

MAYOR’S WELCOME

From the Office of

Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman

LIONS CLUB 101ST INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA JUNE 29-JULY 3, 2018

Greetings to all Lions and friends: As Mayor, I am pleased to welcome you to America’s most dynamic, entertaining, and intriguing city! You could not have chosen a better locale to hold your convention. I am convinced that once you get a taste of what the city has to offer, you will never want to leave. Las Vegas continues to capture the world's imagination as the city where anything is possible. With world-class hotels, award-winning restaurants, luxurious spas, fantastic shopping, the finest golf courses, and spectacular entertainment, Las Vegas remains one of the most electrifying destinations in the world. At its heart Las Vegas is all about making sure residents and visitors are well taken care of, treated courteously, and shown a great time. Beyond the neon of the fabulous Strip and the Fremont Street Experience, there is another Las Vegas--one in which we are building a world-class city featuring the best in arts, culture, sporting opportunities, and quality medical care. The city also offers beautiful weather and outdoor activities, from top class golfing to opportunities for world-class hiking and rock climbing at the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, to skiing at Mount Charleston, and a visit to the awe-inspiring Hoover Dam at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. If history is more your speed, you are in luck because The National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement and the Neon Museum are two of the most interesting and unique experiences in the country. I look forward to your Parade of Nations and hope you enjoy your plenary sessions, International Show, seminars, exhibits and other convention events. I am particularly grateful for the service activities you will perform in conjunction with your convention. Our city will certainly benefit from your generosity. I want to thank you for choosing Las Vegas and look forward to seeing you around town. Please accept my best wishes for your time in our community. I know you will have a fabulous time enjoying our great city and everything it has to offer. Now what are you waiting for? The party has already started! Welcome.

Sincerely,

Carolyn G. Goodman Mayor, City of Las Vegas

All Lions units must register by Friday, June 29 to participate in the parade. Contest winners may collect their prizes beginning on Sunday, July 1 at the Finance Office located in the LCI Headquarters Booth inside the MGM Marquee Ballroom.

REMINDER – HEAT ADVISORYLas Vegas’ desert climate results in daytime temperatures that can exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit/37.8 Celsius.

To mitigate the effects of the heat, the following steps have been taken:

If name is not already in the elections system, the delegate must present a completed Club Delegate form signed by the duly authorized officer of such club. If the delegate has no confirmation page or signed Club Delegate form, the delegate must bring an authorized officer to sign. An authorized officer can be a club officer or, if no such club officer is present, an authorized district officer of the district in which such club is located.

No delegate may be certified unless he/she meets all requirements for certification and positively no deviation from the established procedures, under any circumstances, shall be made.

g) In case of equipment or power failure or other significant event, the members of the Credentials Committee in consultation with the Constitution and By-Laws Committee of the International Board of Directors may, by the decision of a majority of its members, implement an emergency process to facilitate the certification process. Such process shall be consistent in principle with these rules and preserve the integrity of the certification process.

7) Replacement of delegates prior to the close of registration and elections:

a) To replace a delegate, the alternate delegate must bring a duly authorized officer, with them to the elections area. An authorized officer can be a club officer or, if no such club officer is present, an authorized district officer of the district in which such club is located. Per board policy, no blank Club Delegate forms will be handed out during convention. The duly authorized officer will be required to sign for the transfer of alternate to delegate to take place.

b) The club officer’s intention takes the precedence in case both the club and district officers are signing for different delegates.

that particular section. When the delegate has completed voting, he/she shall place the ballot in a secured “voted ballot” container. In the event a delegate spoils his/her ballot, he/she may return the ballot to obtain a new ballot from the spoiled ballot booth. All spoiled ballots should be maintained.

b) No delegate shall remain in the voting area longer than is reasonably necessary to cast his/her ballot.

c) Voting Process: The Elections Committee will oversee the voting, count ballots, conduct a thorough audit and prepare and present specified reports of the election results.

At the conclusion of the voting, all ballots, which have been so processed, together with all spoiled ballots, shall be turned over to the appropriate Elections Committee personnel. The Elections Committee shall audit the ballot count as many times as it deems necessary to assure an accurate count and report.

h) The Elections Committee chairperson shall designate one member of the committee selected by each candidate for an executive officer position, to serve as observers and together with the chairperson, shall constitute a Judging Committee (within the Elections Committee) to rule as to the legality of all questionable votes.

RULES OF PROCEDURERULES OF PROCEDURE

chairperson of the committee, may also observe any phase of the counting procedure at any time. It shall be the duty of those persons making the selections for appointment to this committee to make sure that all such appointees accept their appointments and appear for duty promptly as directed, and such appointees not so reporting for duty may be replaced by the chairperson on as equitable a basis as practicable from the seven (7) geographical areas of Lions International.

i) The Elections Committee will keep complete and accurate records of votes cast. All ballots must be retained, both valid and invalid.
