August 21-23, 2026 -
Fellowship, service, fun…and of course food! 🍲
A weekend well spent with our District Team! 🦁

We thank District Governor Richard Ng, 8PMJF and Lady Marife Ng, PDG Lucy Chiongsy, MJF, Cabinet Secretary Glory Rose Bas, MJF, and District GLT Eddie Tiu Jr. for taking the time to visit our clubs.

It was indeed a night of fellowship, catching up and updates on the different district activities, especially our hosting of the 2nd District Convention on November 28, 2026 in Dumaguete City.

With only three months to prepare, we definitely have our work cut out for us. 😂 But together with our fellow Metro Dumaguete Lions Club, we will do our best to make this convention a memorable one.

Looking back at everything we did this weekend, we somehow managed to live out our Lions Prayer:

“To meet there with my fellowmen,
Relax, and play and sing;
To hear the speakers of the day,
The fine thoughts that they bring.”

August 21, 2026:
Club visitation — we met and relaxed.

August 22, 2026:
Pickleball training — we played. The “sing” part became screaming. 😂

PST Training — we listened to our speakers and learned from the thoughts and experiences they shared.

And of course, the first part of the prayer says something about breaking bread at the table.

That part we took very seriously. 😂😂😂
Because when Lions get together, food is always part of the agenda.

Congratulations as well to the Metro Dumaguete Lions Club on the induction of their officers and new members, headed by President Juan Carlo Lim. Wishing you a productive and enjoyable Lions year ahead!

Kudos also to our District Team for going around, visiting the clubs, conducting trainings and keeping everyone connected and updated. We appreciate the time and effort you continue to give to our Lions.

It was a busy weekend — we met, we learned, we played, we laughed, we planned, and we ate.

Come to think of it, that Lions Prayer really does know us very well. 😂🦁

Now back to work Lions 🦁

Three months to the 2nd District Convention. See you in Dumaguete!

WE SERVE. 🦁

🕊️ IN LOVING MEMORY OF LION GEFFRY HO
December 31, 1956 – August 16, 2026

It is with profound sadness that the Dumaguete City Host Lions Club mourns the passing of our beloved fellow Lion and Life Member, Past President Lion Geffry Ho.

Past President Lion Geffry joined our Club on August 1, 2004, beginning more than two decades of fellowship and service as part of our Lions family.

Through the years, we were blessed by his friendship, presence, and commitment to the spirit of Lionism. As a Life Member, he leaves behind a legacy of service that will remain part of the history and heart of our Club.

To his family and loved ones, we extend our heartfelt condolences, prayers, and deepest sympathies during this time of sorrow.

Rest in peace, Lion Geffry. 🕊️
Thank you for more than two decades of friendship, fellowship, and service.

You will be deeply missed, but you will always remain a part of our Lions family.

📚 SHARE A BOOK. SHARE A SMILE. MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 💛

The Dumaguete City Host Lions Club is accepting donations for Mabato Elementary School in Ayungon, Negros Oriental, serving around 400 students.

Many of us have children’s books and school supplies at home that are no longer being used. Instead of letting them sit on a shelf, why not give them a new home—and help a child learn, create, and dream? 📖✨

We are especially accepting books suitable for children ages 5–11 years old, as well as slippers, toothbrushes and toothpaste, coloring/drawing books, notebooks, glue, and art & craft supplies.

📅 Donations will be accepted until September 25, 2026.

📍 You may drop off your donations at Panda Ice Cream Haus, RHD Building, Ma. Cristina St., Dumaguete City, or simply send us a message and we can arrange pickup of your items(Dumaguete and nearby areas).

No donation is too big or too small. A book you no longer read, a notebook, a pair of slippers, or a simple box of crayons can mean something special to a child. ❤️

Together, we can help 400 young learners have a brighter and happier school experience.

Thank you for sharing and supporting this project! 🦁💙💛

🦁💙 General Membership Meeting — with our cutest little Lion Cub! 🐾

Another meaningful gathering filled with updates, plans, good conversations, and the wonderful fellowship that keeps our Lions family strong.

And of course, tonight’s meeting came with a little extra dose of cuteness — our adorable Lion Cub joining the pride! 🥰🦁

Because being a Lion is not only about service. It’s about friendship, family, and building a spirit of service that we hope will continue through the next generation. 💙💛

Together in service.
Together as family.
We Serve. 🦁

🕊️ In Loving Memory of Dr. Kent E. Carpenter
January 20, 1953 – July 12, 2026

The officers and members of the Dumaguete City Host Lions Club extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, colleagues, and the entire scientific community on the passing of Dr. Kent E. Carpenter.

We are deeply honored to have welcomed Dr. Carpenter as our distinguished speaker during our Learning Event Series, where he shared his invaluable insights on “Extended Impacts of Island Building and Reclamation on Marine Environments.” His passion for marine conservation, scientific excellence, and environmental advocacy inspired everyone who had the privilege of listening to him.

Dr. Carpenter dedicated his life to advancing knowledge and protecting our oceans. His work will continue to influence researchers, conservationists, policymakers, and communities for generations to come.

Though he is no longer with us, his legacy lives on through the countless lives he touched and the knowledge he so generously shared.

May he rest in eternal peace.

With our deepest sympathy and gratitude,

Dumaguete City Host Lions Club 🦁
