SUMMARY:GR Lions Luncheon Mtg - University Club at GVSU\, Dr. Nicole Caiin
DESCRIPTION:Our guest speaker will be Dr. Nicole Cain. \nPlease come by 12:00 pm BUT RSVP to Cheryl no later than Sept 30 at 10 am!!!! \nProposed topic: Do you struggle with brain fog\, hair loss\, or difficulty keeping muscle\, and wonder if your hormones are to blame? Maybe you’ve done self-assessment checklists and suspect a thyroid issue\, but your doctor only ran a TSH and said all is normal. Here’s the reality: it’s possible to have a thyroid imbalance even if your TSH is ‘normal.’ You don’t have to be a doctor or holistic specialist to understand and support your thyroid. As people in business\, our health\, endurance\, and resilience impacts our ability to show up both personally and professionally! In this 20 minute talk\, you’ll get straightforward\, research-backed\, practical strategies for real thyroid health. You will learn why TSH is just one piece of the puzzle\, what deeper thyroid tests tell you\, and how small\, manageable changes can powerfully boost your energy and confidence.\n\n

SUMMARY:11-C1 District Convention & service Project
DESCRIPTION:2026 11C1 Convention Service Project \nA kitchen counter top appliance and food drive!  \nOur Spring Service Project for 2026 is a project to help homeless Veterans transition to \nhousing. \nCommunity Rebuilders will be our Partner. It is a Grand Rapids outreach program to help those \nthat have fallen between the cracks. They have a Veterans division headed by Jim Anderson. \nTheir service area is regional and their connections to other veteran service organization is \nimpressive. A large Number our fall Homeless Veteran backpacks were distributed by them to \nour regional veterans. Mr. Anderson has arranged to educate us on the organization and its \nmission at the convention. \nIn our conversation of Veteran’s needs\, he mentioned when a homeless veteran transitions to \nhousing\, he has very little to bring to their new home. He tells me they are constantly looking \nfor counter top Kitchen appliances to get them started. I saw a need and volunteered Lions \nhelp. They are looking for things like: Toasters\, Coffee Pots\, Toaster ovens\, can openers \n(electric and hand held)\, pots and pans sets\, Silverware\, blenders air fryers\, crock pots and \nespecially microwaves. New is not necessary. Used\, clean and in working condition is \nacceptable. \nHe called back a few days later to explain they also give food boxes designed for 3 days to a \nweek of nonperishable food items and always needed donations for those as well. He \nsuggested: Soups\, Mac & Cheese\, Ramen Noodles\, Peanut Butter\, Jelly\, Canned Chili\, Tuna\, \npasta Noodles\, Canned Vegetables and/or fruit\, crackers\, Canned Meats and/or Stews\, Cereal. \nSo\, a kitchen counter top appliance and food drive! Collected March 27\, 28 at 11c1 convention. \nGet your club\, neighbors\, local businesses to contribute. Give up your old stored appliances. \nGet them to me\, a district officer\, or someone attending the district 11c1 convention. Jim \nAnderson will have a truck to take them from the convention hotel to Community Rebuilders \nCenter after his breakout session talk. All of us can help fill up the truck! \nLion Bob Hohendorf \n11c1 Svc Chair \n616 881 3012 \nrhohendorf@gmail.com \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \nHello Lions of District 11C1! \n\n\nIT’S CONVENTION TIME!
