THIRD MULTIPLE COUNCIL MEETING MD 3231

3rd Multiple Council meeting of Multiple District 3231 was held at Hotel Lalit, Sahar Airport Rd., Navpada, Marol, Andheri (East), Mumbai.

International Twinning with Lions Club Of Babulnath & Lions Club Of Menomonie, # 10712A, Wisconsin, USA District 27-E2

In July 2018, my husband Lion Purvez Patel and I visited our friends in Menomonie, USA. Menomonie is a quaint city in the state of Wisconsin, with a
population of about 15,000 people. Our hosts Lion Jon Hove and his wife Martha introduced us to fellow senior Lion James Wahl and his wife Laura. We
visited many projects which the Club had undertaken. Since open space is no problem in Menomonie, and spring and summer days are very few with
warm weather, naturally people would like to be outdoors. Hence, they have done very good outdoor projects, naming a few: Lions Game Park, Nature Trail,
Athletic Track, Community Centre for Veterans. Apart from that they regularly hold camps for kids, for handicaps, for diabetics, for distributing eye glasses
and for giving scholarships for the deserving children, and many more. We apprised them about our Lions Club of Bombay Babulnath projects and
activities. Our land mark projects like upgrading of Orthopedic surgical operation theater at Masina Hospital, Neo Natal equipment given to a Ruxmani
Hospital, Dialysis Machine installed at Elizabeth Hospital, Child Infancy program for Hearing impaired children, Anaj Daan (rice & daal distribution) on
monthly basis to poor and needy, Setting up computer room with all necessary equipment in rural area and many more. We had a very enjoyable time with
Members of Lions Club of Menomonie.
