Kalispell Sunrisers Lions at the 2026 District Convention
April 17th and18th was the Montana Lions State convention held in Columbia Falls. It was attended by large and small cities across the state with 150 Lions and guests attending. The meeting was very educational with classes for officers, and presentations from many Lions promoting humanitarian organizations.
We heard from Leader Dog’s for the Blind, who have served 80 clients in Montana, MT Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation have covered 49 patients with hearing aids plus some Cataract surgeries. We also learned from the School for the Deaf and the Blind in Great Falls that have 1,500 students in the state. Miss Montana, Haley Joy Tate, and Miss Teen Montana from Kalispell spoke about their passion for Chicks in Chaps, a breast cancer financial help group. There were many more learning experiences.
Next year, the convention will be in Choteau MT. The International Lions Clubs are the largest humanitarian organization in the world, with USA having the 3rd most members following Japan and India. Come join use and help USA become #1. We Serve!!!
