About District 20Y2	Here's where you'll find the district newsletter, latest changes to the district directory, district officers and committee chairs, region and zone chairs, the clubs of 20-Y2, district organizations, cabinet meeting minutes, monthly calendar of club meetings and district events and other info that pertains to the district.
To help you run your club	How to start and maintain a club web site; what you should know about the new compulsory IRS reporting requirements; getting funding for club projects from NYS&BLF or LCIF; how to refer people to the Lions Eye Institute; info on the Lions Affordable Hearing Aids Project; info on sponsoring a Leo club or other ways to get involved with youth; how to submit articles to the district newsletter and MD20 magazine; where to find a speaker; sending a student to play in the MD20 band; a monthly calendar to help arrange interclub visitations; info and application for the 2009-2010 Leadership Achievement Award; club dues structure; and lots of other goodies.
Community service	Some examples of what "We Serve" really means.
Related organizations	Here are links to Lions International sites, the MD20 web site, Sight Society of NENY (Lions Eye Bank), Lions Eye Institute, Hearing Conservation Society, Lions Camp Badger, NABA, MD20 Pin Traders Club, HOBY and other related organizations.
Photo album	Assorted pix of goings-on around the district.
Odds & ends	Things that don't fit elsewhere: Helen Keller's "Knights of the Blind" speech, a poem by Lion Sue Shipe, info on becoming an organ-and-tissue donor, a history of Lions Clubs International, why you should consider being DG, the MD20 budget, and other stuff that I'll add from time to time. If you think it should be on this web site, but it doesn't fit logically any place above, look here; and if you still can't find it, write to me.

If you're already getting the newsletter by e-mail, you don't have to sign up. But if you don't know whether you're on the e-distribution list, please sign up again. I'd rather have you twice than not at all, and you'll still get only one newsletter.

The Lions year runs from July 1st to June 30th, so this site changes drastically during the early summer as we update officers and committee chairs. We make other changes regularly throughout the year, so please come back and visit us from time to time.

Important note: If you are a Lion, Lioness or Leo in District 20-Y2, this is your web site and I welcome your participation in its development. What I especially want from you are flyers about upcoming club functions, and articles and photos about your community service programs. If you have any comments, suggestions or criticisms about this web site, please send them to me by clicking here.
