What is RLLI (Regional Lions Leadership Institute) ?
Regional Lions Leadership Institute (RLLI) is a replacement of Emerging Lions Leadership Institute which was canceled a few years ago. The Regional Lions Leadership Institute which is organized at MD (Multiple District) level focuses on building the skills of Lions members for leadership opportunities at the club president level.
http://lions-talk-n-chat.blogspot.com/
RLLI is a good LCI training program. Some of the RLLI modules are similar to SLLI (Senior Lions Leadership) program.
This training program is very interesting and I am sure everyone will learn something from it.
RLLI is a training programme for the Emerging Lions. Emerging Lions Leadership Institute was targetting Lions who have not yet become Club President. (Please encourage your Club members to join the RLLI. Some of the course modules for DGE Seminar, SLLI and RLLI are similar.) Senior Lions Leadership Institute is targetting Lions who are Past Presidents and is or have served as Cabinet Officers. DGE Seminar is an intensive training programme for those who have been recently elected as the incoming District Governor.
Benefits of RLLI:
1) RLLI is a systematic, student-centred training programme devised by Lions Clubs International.
2) RLLI helps to enhance Leadership and Teamwork for the Lions movement.
3) RLLI is a very good programme that is subsidised by LCI. Year after year, we pay Dues to LCI. This is one of the ways LCI pay back to us by subsidising/sponsoring training programmes such as SLLI and RLLI.
4) RLLI enables Lions to meet old friends and make new friends among MD308 Lions.
5) For this year's RLLI, it will be FREE. The participant only need to pay for his own transportation to the RLLI venue.

Is the newly revised LIONS logo blue & yellow? Or is it blue & gold?
If we look at the download section of logos in LCI website, available LIONS logo for download are: (1) 2-color (blue & yellow), (2) 1-color (blue), (3) black & white. The 4-color CMYK Lions logo that we all are so familiar with is no longer there.
It is noted that the homepage of LCI website now uses the 2-color (blue & yellow) Lions logo. Yet there are some webpages that still uses the 4-color CMYK Lions logo.
I searched for official announcement that the revised 2-color blue & yellow Lions logo has replaced the 4-color CMYK Lions logo. I can't find such announcement. I first heard about the Lions logo change from ID Ellis Suriyati. Subsequently I checked out LCI website to find the facts.
Anyway, let us just wait for official announcement?
1. Blue & yellow Lions logo - is it encouraged to be used? Is it mandatory to be used?
2. 4-color CMYK Lions logo - is it still valid? Is it going to be phased out in stages? Is it going to coexist with the new blue & yellow Lions logo?
Below is an extract from LCI website.
Official Colors
The royal colors of purple and gold were selected as the official colors when the association was organized in 1917. Purple stands for loyalty to friends and for integrity of mind and heart. Gold symbolizes sincerity of purpose, liberality in judgment, purity in life and generosity in mind, heart and purse to those in need.
Pantone Matching System (PMS) is a popular color matching system used by the printing industry to print spot colors. Most applications that support color printing allow you to specify colors by indicating the Pantone name or number. This assures that you get the right color when the file is printed, even though the color may not look right when displayed on your monitor. The following are specified Pantone colors for Lion logos. Lion Logo Reflex blue and PMS 123 (gold).

Funds sought for mobile clinic
By GEETHA KRISHNANgeetha@thestar.com.myPhoto by DARRAN TAN
THE mobile clinic operated by the Lions Club of Serdang District 308 B2 is in need of funds.
The clinic has been offering free medical services to the poor, especially those living in rural areas. Between 2005 and 2006, the clinic served the orang asli in Pulau Carey (Selangor), Janda Baik (Pahang) and Alor Gajah (Malacca).
At a recent press conference, mobile clinic adviser Dr Lai Kwong Choy said the service was initiated in 2003 and the medical supplies were depleting fast. Medical equipment was also needed.
“We really need a cholesterol meter to record accurate readings so people can seek proper treatment. The instruments in the dentist’s clinic also need upgrading and we are looking for more medical personnel,” he said.
To help raise the much-needed funds, the club is organising the Share with Love & Care Charity Karaoke Competition at Hee Lai Ton Restaurant in Seri Kembangan at 7pm on Oct 5. It has separate categories for amateurs and professionals, with cash prizes up for grabs.
Lions Club of Serdang District 308 B2 president Leong Kee Chong said each mobile clinic outing to serve the public cost the club RM2,000.
“We recently helped 16 old folks in the Klang Valley to undergo cataract surgery at the Tun Hussein Onn Eye Hospital in Petaling Jaya. It cost us RM500 for each senior citizen,” he said.
Lions Club of Serdang District 308 B2 zone chairperson Michael Yeap said the mobile clinic service was started because villagers in Seri Kembangan had limited access to clinics. The service was eventually extended to cover other areas.
Competition organising chairperson Lion Winnie Tham said the registration fee was RM50 per person and the closing date for entries was Sept 20. For details, call 016-606 2345 (Tham) or 016-662 2528 (Kong).
A blood donation campaign will also be held at SJK (C) Seri Kembangan on Oct 7.
Also present at the press conference was Seri Kembangan assemblyman Datuk Liew Yuen Keong.

Faculty Development Institute
Faculty Development Institute is organised by Lions Club International. FDI is organised for each constitutional area.
For instance, Faculty Development Institute for the OSEAL (Orient & South-East Asia Lions) area is scheduled on December 1-4, 2008 in Hong Kong...organised by Lions Clubs International (LCI).
LCI organised the Faculty Development Institute to train Trainers and Faculty Members to help train at the Constitutional Area and Multiple-District level. This enables the continuity of the education process of all Lions.
Faculty Development Institute is best targeted toward Lions Multiple-District Trainers, Lion District Trainers, and Past District Governors. I personally think those who have attended the Senior Lions Leadership Institute are also suitable participants of the Faculty Development Institute.
