“Leading with Heart: Service, Empowerment, and Community”

February is a month where compassion takes center stage. As Lions, we continue to lead with heart—empowering others, uplifting communities, and embracing new opportunities to grow. With the year well underway, now is the time to deepen our impact through meaningful service, strong partnerships, and inclusive leadership.

This month, let’s channel our energy into impactful Service Activities and align our goals with Lions International’s global themes as well as the needs of your community. Whether you’re organizing a local food drive, vision screening, or planning a Service Carnival, your work changes lives.  Remember to plan for the third and final Lions International Week of Service on April 18-26 with focus on the environment.  More information can be found at https://www.lionsclubs.org/en/member-resource-center/service/global-causes-initiatives/weeks-of-service

Leadership in Action

• February is also a time to mentor and empower new leaders. Consider:
• Recommending Lions for leadership training
• Supporting potential Leo Advisors and Leos
• Promoting establishing New Lions Clubs or Lions Club Branches where you see a need
• Leadership doesn’t begin with a title. It begins with a willingness to serve.

Save the Date: March 8, 2026

In celebration of International Women’s Day, Lions around the world are invited to participate in She Leads – A Global Lions Symposium. This virtual event will bring together Lions, Leos, allies, and change‑makers to empower women in service, share leadership strategies, and strengthen global inclusion and collaboration within our organization.

The symposium will begin at 7:00 AM Montana Time and is open to all members worldwide. Registration details and access information can be found through the Montana Lions District 37 website at https://www.montanalions.org/2026/01/27/she-leads-global-lions-symposium-march-8-2026/.  Personally, I will be having a watch party with many of my Lady Lion Friends.  Please join us either in person or virtually.
