It has given me a greater appreciation of each of our members and the Lions organization. For an organization that boasts a vast 1.4 million plus members, our Club feels like home and a small family. Being a Lions president is a humbling experience as you learn about the past and present dedication of our members and the rich history of the Burlingame Lions Club. Thanks to each member for your hard work, time, donations, and caring. Thanks to those who have continued to carry the torch for all the traditional projects. Thanks to those who found time to add new service projects. Thanks to our current and new members who made it all possible. I am thankful for all the guests, speakers, other Lions Clubs, and community organizations that joined or volunteered with the Burlingame Lions Club. I have been in Pennsylvania on vacation this past week. From the local Pennsylvania museum where Lions helped restore our nation s history to the Lions of PA on the local news this week being recognized for being instrumental in helping a five year old child be cancer free. Lionism is ubiquitous in CA, PA, and the rest of the world. Our lives, our communities, and our world is a better place due to Lionism. Although Lions are known to help aid the blind see with their eyes, the greater impact has been the Lions' ability to help those who have perfect sight to see with their hearts the pressing community needs around them. Not only do Lions make their communities a better place but Lionism makes each of us a better person. May each of you continue to grow in Lionism and mature in heart and caring. Thank you for being a bright light in our hearts and community. Thank you for the opportunity to be your president. Warmest regards, Lion Kwang Park Signing Off This is the last Bulletin for this editorial team. Special thanks to Lion Dale Schmidt for proof reading each issue, and to Lion Erik Winkler for being our official photographer. Best of luck to the incoming Bulletin editor.

3 The Roar of the Pride The Birth of the Lions Hall After years of meeting at places like Bob s On Broadway and the Sheraton, the Club was looking for a place to call home. A group of Lions, with an eye to the future, contacted the City of Burlingame about an empty building in Washington Park. This building that we now call the Lions Hall, is an important part of this city s history. From 1912 until 1930, it served as the first library in Burlingame. It resided at the corner of Primrose Road and Bellevue Avenue, and was moved to Washington Park when the new library was built. It was the meeting place for American Legion Post No until 1976, when it was closed due to safety issues. After much discussion and negotiation, we were granted a long term lease for the building, as long as we maintained it in good shape. Lions from all around the District donated services and materials for its upgrade and repair. The Lions Hall that we now enjoy is a far cry from when we first found our home. The Lions Hall is truly our Lions Pride. Hall opening day: 1981

4 Melvin Jones: Some Interesting Facts...and we re not LION Melvin Jones father was a Captain in the United States Army. Captain Calvin Jones was commander of a troop of scouts at Fort Thomas. He was involved in the Indian wars until Melvin Jones was born at Fort Thomas on January 13, Melvin Jones might not have been the famous one in the family. Rose Amanda Freeman, who became his wife was an accomplished golfer. She won the National Woman s Open Golf title at Pinehurst, No. Carolina in Melvin jokingly said, I was perhaps the first golf widower on record. Another path: Jones initially wanted to become a lawyer or a tenor. He was an accomplished singer in his youth, which made him popular in school. After a move to Chicago and employment in the insurance agency of Johnson and Higgins, his career path was set and the Lions Clubs would soon follow. We might have been The Wheels : In 1917, Jones invited delegates from twenty-seven organizations to join forces under one name to provide service for their communities. Delegates came from the Optimists, the Reciprocity Clubs, the Wheels, the Concordia Club of Omaha...and others. Amongst the groups were the Lions of Indiana. Melvin liked the Lions because he thought that they stood for courage, strength, fidelity and vital action. With a little campaigning and arm twisting, he was able to get the others to agree on the Lions designation. The only group that decided not to join the collective group were the Optimists. A Chicago landmark: Melvin Jones was most proud of the opening of the Lions International Office on Michigan Avenue in Chicago in The Road Ends: After several strokes, Melvin Jones passed away in The Jones Philosophy: You can t get very far until you start doing something for somebody else. In a few words, We Serve

5 The Roar of the Pride Lions Club International Convention in Vegas The 101st annual Lions Club International convention will be held in Las Vegas from June 29-July 3, This is a wonderful way to learn more about the Lions Club and to meet fellow Lions from all around the world. The current International President, Naresh Aggarwal, will hand over the reins of leadership to the new President. The current officers are 1st VP Lion Gudrun Bjort Yngvadottir, from Iceland; 2nd VP Lion Jung-Yul Choi, from Korea; 3rd VP Lion Haynes Townsend from the United States, and IPP Robert Corlew, from the United States. This is a great way to immerse yourself into the world of Lionism. See fliers for details. Three More for the Road A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every day, he takes the elevator to the first floor to go to work or to go shopping. When he returns, he always takes the elevator to the seventh floor and then walks the remaining flights of stairs to his apartment on the tenth floor. Why does he do this? Five pieces of coal, a carrot, and a scarf are lying on the lawn. Nobody put them on the lawn, but there is a perfectly logical reason for their being there. What is it? A man walked into a bar and asked the barman for a glass of water. They had never met before. The barman pulled out a gun from under the counter and pointed it at the man. The man said Thank you and walked out. Why should that be so? (If you re stumped, us for a hint, or the answer) Upcoming Events June 30, 2018: The Kite Festival at Coyote Point: lunch service July 28, 2018: Cars-in-the-Park: Washington Park Sept 3, 2018: The Spirit Run: BCE event: pancake breakfast TBA: The Chili Cook-off for MD: Central Park, San Mateo
