Chicago, Jun 10: District 1-A, Mother District of Lionism held its Cabinet Awards and Governor's Installation at the Elmcrest Banquet Hall, Elmwood Park, here.

Dr. Richard Racuba was inducted by Ralph Koller as Lions of Illinois Foundation Trustee from District 1-A.  Dr. Austin Prabhu inducted I Vice District Governor Terry D'Souza and II Vice District Governor Ralph Zarada with his signature candle ceremony.  He asked vice district governors to learn every step of the way to lead district when they fit into governor's shoes in few years.  He read Lions Code of Ethics and reminded them to follow them religiously to keep faith and trust in one another as leaders of the district.

Terry D'Souza gave an example of Mother Teresa for her community services in Calcutta and all over the world and called Lions as her followers in service to the needy people.  She said that when she visited Mother Teresa's home in Calcutta last year, she was very much impressed to see how those nuns were serving less fortunate without looking at their caste, creed or religion.  Let us sacrifice and help our brothers and sisters who are less fortunate in this world, she said.

Dan O'Reilly gave away International President's Medal to Chris Coleman and International President's Certificates to Dave Hansen, Ernie Lapid and Gerry Crisostomo for their hard work for the growth of Lionism in District 1-A.  Dr. Austin was able to bring in one new club this year namely, Chicago Jose Rizal Lions Club.  Bob Hoffmann, Millie Koller, Ralph Koller, Ray Jachim, Tina Gaddy, Steve Anton, Rick Herpich, Dan O'Reilly, Catherine Rondinelli and Paul Tim were also honored with International President's special certificates of appreciation for their successful chairmanships.

Governor Dr. Austin Prabhu thanked all cabinet members with a memento to remember.  He asked lions to be the lit candles in their communities to serve and brighten their lives.  Also he thanked all cabinet members and club officers and lions, lionesses and leos for making his year for the second time as governor a successful one.

Steven Solomon entertained the gathering with his electronic organ music and live singing.

Doha: Qatar Indian Social Forum (QISF) once again set an example that no caste, creed, language and religion comes as hurdle for their humanitarian services and helped to perform last rites of Ramesh who committed suicide in Doha-Qatar.

45-year-old Ramesh son of K. Nagan hailing from Panikulam, Thrissur district in Kerala, who was working as a tailor committed suicide in his house at Ruwias in Qatar on 30th May 2020.

On hearing this news, some of his friends in Kearla informed Mr. Shihab who is also from Thrissur and a member of QISF and the same was brought to the notice of QISF humanitarian team head Mr. Abdul Latheef Madikeri and Basheer Ahmed of Tamil Nadu.

Immediately, the QISF team intervened and contacted the family members of the deceased in India and discussed the matter and consequences of sending the body back home to India in this pandemic COVID 19 situation.

Considering the prevailing situation, the family members gave the consent to bury the body in Qatar itself.

QISF team collected the required documents from the family of the deceased and managed to clear all the necessary formalities from the police department, Health Department, Embassy of India and Hamad Medical Corporation.

Finally, the body of the deceased was buried in Qatar on 7th June 2020 and the copies of all the relevant documents have been handed over to the family members.

The family members of the deceased thanked and applauded the leaders and all the members of QISF for their effective and on time humanitarian service rendered even in this pandemic crisis and having no bias.
