The next steering committee meeting is planned for August 23-26, 2007 in Slidell, LA. Please submit ideas and proposals to the committee members before this date.

To help facilitate the expected volunteer efforts of Lions, a steering committee of four leading Lions from the four states most affected by the tragedy were appointed to serve as liaisons between LCIF, Lions in the disaster areas and Lions who want to help.
