Calling all District 37 Lions!

6th Annual Montana Lions Leadership Retreat

Lewistown October 2-4, 2026

Dear Montana Lions,

The leadership retreat is a unique opportunity for Montana Lions to enhance your leadership skills, gain new insights, and strengthen the connections within our Lions community. Your role as an officer in  your Lions Club is vital to the success and growth of our service and Lionism in Montana, and this retreat is designed to support you in that mission.

What to Expect:

  • Inspiring Workshops: Led by experienced Lions, these sessions will cover effective leadership strategies, community service innovations, and personal growth techniques.
  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow club officers and Lions from across Montana, share experiences, and build lasting relationships.

Key Details:

  • Dates: October 2-4
  • Location: Yogo Inn, Lewistown, MT
  • Cost: Free of charge for participants*

*Note: The free training includes double occupancy accommodation. If you prefer a single room, there is an additional charge of $100. If you wish to bring a spouse or significant other, there is an additional $50 charge (total of $150) for their accommodation and meals.

Thank you for your continued dedication and leadership within the Lions Club. I look forward to seeing you in Choteau for what promises to be a transformative retreat.

Yours in Service,

Lion Mike Collins
