To my Friends and Colleagues:
This is a story of a clinic….a clinic in the rural town of Soroti, in sub-Saharan, Uganda, Africa.  This clinic needs your support to continue bringing lifesaving medical aid, and maternity care to 10,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs).  The IDPs have taken refuge around Soroti after fleeing from their villages in northern Uganda after savage attacks by the rebel group, the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) and the Karamajong cattle warriors.

The camps are acres of squalid overcrowded mud huts where poverty and lack of services make life unbearably difficult. The IDPs are proud people who have lost everything – their homes and their belongings were burned to the ground, their loved ones were massacred, their older children were kidnapped to become child soldiers and sex slaves.  Yet they remain hopeful for a brighter future.  Their attempts to make a living are hampered by lack of basic necessities such as nutritious food, clean water, proper shelter and medicine.

Ticks are parasites that feed on the blood of their hosts.  Warmth from body heat and carbon dioxide which is exhaled attracts them. The actual tick bite is not painful; it is the diseases they cause that are the problem. Since it takes several hours for the attached tick to transmit disease, it is easy to prevent any problems, if you are conscientious. 

Ticks are most active during the spring and fall and some species in summer as well. They are vectors (an organism that serves to transport and deliver an infectious organism from one host to another) for bacteria like Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease. Lyme disease is not common.

I am sure most of you have noticed that things are changing, you aren’t quite getting the same results anymore. We are indeed in a time of great change and in order to ease our way through this change we must adopt new ways of thinking and new attitudes.

The first thing I recommend is to stay open, listen to what others are saying, let yourself absorb it before your logic refutes it. You don’t have to adopt or believe everything you  hear but be willing to take in what you hear and think about it, then decide whether you want to adopt it. There are many new ideas out there around how we can think and the choices we can make, again be willing to try some of them, you never know they might help you to move in a new direction.

At the Annual General Meeting of the Lions Bay Community Scholarship Foundation on June 2, 2010, the current Board of Louis Peterson, Michael Broughton, Mary McLaughlin, Carole Conlin, Brenda Broughton, Glenn Gates, Debbie Goldberg,  Sandra Kirkpatrick, and Kim Mailey agreed to continue in harness for another year. The main item of the evening, however, was a Reception for the Lions Bay Grads of 2010 at which students, parents and friends were welcome.

The Board extends Best Wishes to all of the Grads as they move on to new careers - James Bell, Lauren Cuthbertson, Peter Dyer, Josh Mehlenbacher, Rebecca Montgomery, Carlee Trembley, Spencer Robins, and Iona Wray. A photo op picture show many happy faces in front of the Village Plaque.

Many consider the stories of the Bible ancient religious fables completely unrelated to contemporary circumstances, and so abandon them. Others consider biblical stories as factual historical accounts and interpret them literally to provide certitude for their doctrinal positions. Still others, wishing merely to be uplifting, select only those biblical stories that fill the blank places of their lives with peace of mind and spiritual assurance. In my opinion all of these views are misconceptions.

Those who are immersed in the crises of their times have again and again pondered the great mysteries of life for illuminating insights.  That is as true for the biblical authors as it is for us. Faith is not a synonym for credulity. Faith is an ongoing dialogue with doubt. It achieves authenticity only where it consciously manifests the internal and external difficulties with which we must struggle.

The proposed Native Plant Garden on Lions Bay Avenue will one day display plantings of indigenous flora for all who are interested to see and learn about. As a chosen activity, gardening is by far the most universal and most popular.

A Big Thank You to Karen Dyer!

We just found out that Karen Dyer, after 12 years of organizing the Lions Bay Back Yard Swim program, hung up her life jacket. On behalf of the numerous Lions Bay children who participated in the swim program over the past 11 years, we would like to thank Karen with billions of breathing bubbles. And also a big thank you from all the parents: driving back and forth to West Vancouver for swimming lessons is not high on the wish list of things to do in the Summer Break!

We would like to thank those neighbours who have generously offered use of their pool. If you are in a position to offer your pool for a set of 2 consecutive weeks, please let us know.

Although we realize we have big flippers to fill, we are busy putting all the ducks in order to ensure that the swim program floats once again.

We plan on having three sets and lessons will be anytime between 8am and 1pm on weekdays:

Interested in having a Community Garden in Lions Bay?

Since spring of 2009 a group of interested residents have been working together with the Village to secure land that could be converted into a community garden.

Why a Community Garden in Lions Bay?

Our vision is to promote food sustainability by allowing our residents to have access to a demonstration garden and community garden plots.

Having community gardens is not a new concept, but it would be for Lions Bay.

We hope that we could create an area that would benefit the Village in many ways.

THE  LIONS  BAY TENNIS  GROUP are attempting to raise the remaining money that the community needs to resurface the Mountain Drive Public Tennis Court, which will provide a cleaner, safer and more professional court for our junior players to learn on,  We encourage all residents to get involved, support our children, and help provide a safe environment for all to play in.  We also encourage all our Children and Residents to visit the Court and to join our Tennis Group --
