Dear Lion,  

I've promised you since the beginning of the year that we would work hard this year to improve our international platform of communication. We must better share with our Lions and the world why our global Foundation is truly like no other. And today, I am very excited to announce that LCIF has just launched a brand new Web site. The English version is now available, and all languages will launch by our convention in July.  

This new site gives you more tools and resources to promote the good work we Lions are doing. On the homepage, the Recent Grants area highlights some of recently awarded funds for grant projects.

The Changing Lives area links to stories of individuals, partners and donors who have all been impacted by the work of Lions, made possible by LCIF. These stories inspire us to do even more. And you can even share how LCIF has helped in your life or community by Sharing a Story.   

Our News section includes the latest information from the Foundation, including my monthly messages. In About Us, you can learn more about our history, partners and leaders.  

An entire section of our new site is devoted to you, our Lions members. Our Lions Center provides information on grants, ways to donate and how to get involved in our many programs. The materials section includes ready-to-use publications, forms, videos and powerpoints that you can share with your club, district or community.
 

And within the Lions Center there is a section specifically for our coordinators, our well-trained ambassadors of the Foundation. Coordinators will be able to find a calendar of important dates, club visit information, forms and materials, recent news and reports.
 

Please visit our new site at www.lcif.org. I know you'll agree that these improvements will help all of us to better communicate the impact and work of the Foundation.  

With my cordial regards,  

Eberhard J. Wirfs
Chairperson, Lions Clubs International Foundation
