Greetings to all the wonderful 27-D1 Lions, Lioness, and Leos. During our VDG travels, many of you shared your passion for Lionism with Lion Jean and I. Many thanks to IPDG Rick Daluge and Lion Peggy, for their continued help and for the magnifi cent job they did in 2009-10, as they continued the process of rejuvenating 27-D1.
While at the International Convention in Sydney, we had more extensive training, learning the ins and outs of being your District Governor. We met some amazing people from around the world and they all have the same goal as we do…to serve their community, country and the world.
Lion Jean and I are looking forward to the challenges of the year ahead. We believe the real backbone of Lionism is YOU, the members, the knights in shining Lions Club shirts!
International President Sid Scruggs' theme is A Beacon Of Hope. My theme, A Ray Of Light For A Brighter Future, expands on that theme. I would like you to bring your ray of light to the people of your community, your district, and the world by supporting WLF, eye screening, helping the hearing impaired, working on projects at your local level, supporting the District projects and volunteering when the call goes out for help. By doing this, not only will our communities grow, but we'll also grow Lionism.
I again challenge each club in the district to have a plus two membership by the end of June 2011. If each member would ASK at least two people to join Lions, this goal could easily be attained.
I would also like to have one new Lions Club and one new Leo Club in the district. I think these goals are attainable if every member helps.
Another goal is for every club to have a Power Point Lion Orientation by Christmas. Members who are informed about the Lions will be more willing to help with projects and start new ones. Power Point presentations are available from Lion Tara Vraniak at tvraniak@verizon.net or Lion Jodi Burmester at jodi.burmester@gmail.com.
Please, help me reach my goals. I am looking forward to meeting you when I make my club visit. 1st Vice District Governor Neil Winchell will serve Regions 1 and 3 and 2nd Vice District Governor Daryl Porter will serve Regions 2 and 4. I am very confident that they will serve you well. Bring "A Ray of Light For a Brighter Future" to your
community, and let's make 2010-11 shine "A Beacon of Hope" on everyone we meet.
