Dr G Babu Rao Vice District Governor -1

Dear Readers, Today, when environment is being polluted so rigorously, everyone has only one question on his / her lips and mind that is how to save environment from being polluted. How to protect earth from disaster? The strongest way to protect environment is save trees. Trees are one of the main creations of God that play an important role to keep air clean. If there will be no fresh air available then how will human beings, animal, and birds survive? Therefore, a clean environment is the need for every living object on this earth. Many big organizations like schools, colleges, and NGOs like Lions Clubs are taking initiatives to save trees for a better future, clean air, and unpolluted environment, in short healthy life for living objects.

One of the biggest initiatives to save trees is taken by Idea Cellular Ltd. - a part of Aditya Birla Group. Today, trees are being cut with a great speed for full filling daily needs of human beings. It is true that we need to cut trees for our daily needs but cutting trees in such a furious way is leading towards a disaster. You might have noticed that as the number of trees is reducing; disasters are being continuously increasing, which is ultimately leading into high death rate. A big part of the trees is cut to make paper to help us do our personal and official works. If the use of paper will be minimized then we can save a large number of trees from being cut, which leads into healthy and clean environment that is fresh air and healthy life.

Editorial Team Chief Editor

Here an initiative taken by LC Hyderabad Cosmo is worth mentioning. Since many years for now, the club sends all its circulars, program information, invitations etc via emails or SMSs. This club plants around 1000 plantains on every 15th August.

It is my sincere dream that the schools, colleges and universities would increase online examinations, submission of theories/papers/reports. But the maximum usage of unwanted stationary is found in government offices where nothing happens without penning down on bunch of papers even if it is on how to save trees.

District Governor

First Vice District Governor Dear Lion Friends,

Dear Lions, Greetings to you and family members.

Its great pleasure to communicate through Lions Update. First of all I thank each and every Lion of the District 324 C6 that we are 35% in positive growth. It is our team work this should continue in the same rapport in future also.

I am indeed honoured to have been blessed with a true LION in each one of the 4361 members in 127 clubs in our District.

I once again whole heartedly welcome 1419 new members.

I request all RC’s, ZC’s, District Officers & PST’s of the clubs to pay their District and International Dues if not paid and try to send MMR or WMMR reports regularly, if not sent, send immediately. And follow District Governor Program, as you know we have completed our first half of the year and most of the clubs have not adopted schools, very less clubs came forward for school adoption. If you have not adopted school try to see the required Government school which is lacking by furniture or water Tanks or Toilets. Try to do more service activities like Blood Donation Camps, Eye Camps, which reach downtrodden and help the community in better for tomorrow.

Observe calendar of events every month.

There cannot be greater joy of success than brining smiles to as many people as we can. During my journey as the District Governor began with a call from the victims of floods that ravaged in and around Kurnool. The spontaneous response you extended in the form of financial, pulses and clothes was overwhelming when we received and heart rendering when we distributed.

There are numerous incidents that I would have shared with you but I felt it to be more appropriate to place before you those members that made all the difference brought smiles on lakhs of faces throughout the District 324C6.

I congratulate the clubs who are observing and completed already District Governor Program.

The appointment of Region Chairpersons was one of the toughest tasks before me. There was lot many questions cropping up in my mind on my decision. Somewhere in the corner of my mind, a strong feeling was knocking me and building up my confidence.

And I congratulate Lions Update Editor and Editorial Board for bringing out Lions Update informative to all the Lions.

Let unite our hands together and achieve and help community.

With Lionistic Regards,

Today, I undoubtedly pat myself on the selection of Region Chairpersons i.e. S Yadgiri (Sneha), K Samrajyam (Shanti), Sanjay Choudhary (Sahakar), V Sudhakar (Sanskar), Manikonda Raghavender Rao (Swarna), Dr P Surender (Shubham), P V Subba Rao (Seva), G Anand Rao Maiya (Samatha), Raghu Ram Reddy (Sahithi) and V Suresh (Sandesh).

Dear friends,

Dear Lions,

How delighted I am to have been associated with the leadership of our District Governor Dr G Babu Rao and his cabinet colleagues. It has been an action filled and service oriented year. Above all, he has created challenging records which I am sure it would be an uphill task for any future District Governor.

Although we have left with few months of our

Here I must compliment the efforts of Chief Editor - Lions

term of office, there is still lot more in our kitty that needs to be accomplished. It has been a very satisfying journey filled with services that has not only created records but also set standards and style.

Update PRC Vikrantt Mohan for his enormous efforts and skills in creating greater interest in layout of the District magazine. I have received several praises for the Lions Update.

The countdown for the 5th District Convention has begun under the Chairmanship of our LCIF Multiple Coordinator PDG V Basaveswara Rao. The preparation and promotion is under way. Here again, I am sure that our DG Dr GBR is all set to give you yet another impressive and action filled District Convention.

So my dear friends buckle up and make sure to be registering your family and be a proud delegate to the 5th District Convention on the 9th and 10th April 2011 at Naren gardens, Miyapur, Hyderabad.

Hyderabad Airport The airports of Delhi and Hyderabad have been ranked among the top airports of the world in the airport services quality (ASQ) by the global body, Airports Council International (ACI).

While Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi Airport retained the number one position for the second year in a row among 49 airports handling 515 million passengers per annum (mppa), Indira Gandhi International Airport came fourth in a group of 19 airports in the 25-40 mppa categories.Mumbai's CST International Airport, run by GVK-led consortium, ranked in the 15-25 mppa categories, the ACI said.While the Indian airports ranked among the top in different categories, the ACI declared Incheon in Seoul, Changi in Singapore, airports in Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai Pudong as the overall top ''best airports worldwide''.

The rankings were done on the basis of a global ASQ survey by the ACI of 153 airports, including 6 Indian ones. The survey, which gets a representative sample of flights, destinations and passenger groups served by the airport, is intended to get feedback from users on a range of service delivery parameters. ACI audits the process to ensure compliance and validates the results. The awards will be formally presented in April at the ACI''s Asia-Pacific Regional Conference to be held here.

Nair said the Hyderabad airport has improved on its ASQ rating which now stands at 4.51 and retained the top slot in its category consecutively for the second year. On the IGI airport, he said the ASQ ratings improved "immensely" after the plush new Terminal-3 became operational last year. To questions, he said a few areas on which the Delhi airport was lacking included value for money, inadequate shopping facilities and the ease of reaching the airport. "We are looking to improve these areas," Nair said.

District Cabinet Treasurer lionnagaraju@in.com Cell 9866411211 Dear Lion Coleagues, Here are some guidelines for determining the eligibility of voting delegates from each club in good standing at the ensuring district, multiple and international conventions.

1. A club in considered to be in good standing only if its current per capita, old outstanding balances and entrance fee of new members are paid in full.

2. Each club in good standing is entitled to one delegate for each ten members, or a major portion thereof (5 or more), who have been enrolled in the club for at least one year and one day.

3. Each chartered club is entitled to a minimum of one delegate.

4. A newly chartered club is entitled to one delegate until it has been chartered for one year and one day.

5. Number of voting delegates from each club will be strictly based on the list supplied by the international office.

6. Delegates of clubs with any unpaid international and district dues cannot vote until the amount due is received in full.

7. For any clarifications, read Article IX, Section 3 of The International Bye Laws.

An example: Our district has its convention in April 2011.

Suppose a club with 34 members enrolled one more new member in March 2010 and reported the new member on its March 2010 membership report recorded at the international office on April 1, 2010. The club will be entitled to only two delegates. Although the club had 35 members enrolled at the time of the district convention in April 2011, the newly enrolled member was not enrolled for one year and one day in the international records.

Here is a list of the clubs and their status with regard to their international and district dues as on March 5, 2011.

Please call me for any clarifications.

Down memory lane - Middle class India of the 70's Though you may not publicly own up to this, at the age of 12-17 years, you were very proud of your first "Bellbottom" or your first Apache jeans.

or even a tri-coloured anti-glare screen which they attached with two side clips onto their Weston TVs. That confused the hell out of you!

Phantom & Mandrake were your only true heroes. The brainy ones read "Competition Success Review".

Black & White TVs weren't so bad after all because cricket was played in whites.

Your "Camlin" geometry box & Natraj/Flora pencil was your prized possession.

You dreaded the death of any political leader because of the mourning they would announce on the TV. After all how much "Shashtriya Sangeet" can a kid take? Salma Sultana also didn't smile during the mourning.

The only "Holidays" you took were to go to your grandparents' or your cousins' houses.

You knew that "Indira Gandhi" was somebody really powerful and terribly important. And that's all you needed to know.

Ice-cream meant only - an orange stick, a vanilla stick - or a Choco Bar if you were better off than most.

The only "Gadgets" in the house were the TV, the Fridge and possibly a mixer.

You gave your neighbour's phone number to others with a 'c/o' written against it because you had booked yours only 7 years ago and were still waiting for your number to come.

All the gadgets had to be duly covered with a crochet covers and sometimes even with ingenious, custom-fit plastic covers.

Your first family car (and the only one) was a Fiat or an Ambassador. This often had to be pushed by the entire family to get going.

Movies meant Rajesh Khanna or Amitabh Bachchan. Before the start of the movie you always had to watch the obligatory "Newsreel".

Your parents were proud owners of HMT watches. You "earned" yours after SSC exams.

You thought you were so rocking because you knew almost all the songs of Abba and Boney M.

You have been to "Jumbo Circus"; have held your breath while the pretty young thing in the glittery skirt did acrobatics, quite enjoyed the elephants hitting football, the motorcyclist vrooming in the "Maut ka Gola" and it was politically okay to laugh your guts out at dwarfs hitting each other's bottoms!

Your hormones went crazy when you heard "Disco Deewane" by Naziya Hassan & Zoheb Hassan.

Photograph taking was a big thing. You were lucky if your family owned a camera. A reel of 36 exposures was valuable hence it justified the half hour preparation & "setting" & the "posing" for each picture.

Therefore, you have atleast one family picture where everyone is holding their breath and standing at attention!

You have atleast once heard "Hawa Mahal" on the radio.

If you had a TV, it was normal to expect the neighborhood to gather around to watch the Chitrahaar or the Sunday movie. If you didn't have a TV, you just went to a house that did. It mattered little if you knew the owners or not.

You were really happy then...... peace of mind, no pressure no stress.

Sometimes the owners of these TVs got very creative and got a bi
