Tag Archives: Immediate Past District Governor

Thanks for reading this edition of the newsletter. The first quarter of this year is already gone  and now it’s hunting season — time to hunt for new Lions. 

I am motivated since we just returned from the USA/Canada Lions Forum in Atlantic City, and I must say, the committee outdid themselves again. There were about 100 different one-hour informational sessions to attend, plus the ever-popular Speed Learning.

Some of the sessions I made it to were on Leos and building new Leo Clubs, using AI to market our clubs, LCIF’s global impacts, creating great events, recruiting younger Lions, injecting fun into meetings, and marketing strategies for clubs. Having never been to Atlantic City before, it was awesome to explore the Boardwalk and even leave a couple of dollars at the casinos.

This was only my 3rd time attending, and I cannot count how many people I reconnected with. Don’t be nervous about attending the forum — EVERYONE there is a Lion just like you, all there for the same reason: to be a better person and make our communities a better place to live.

Hello Lions,

As I begin my term as Immediate Past District Governor, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Serving as your District Governor has been one of the most rewarding and educational experiences of my life. From club visits to district events, it was an incredible journey—one that I will always cherish.

Over the last two and a half years, I’ve had the privilege of visiting nearly all 57 clubs in our district. Meeting so many dedicated Lions and learning about the amazing service projects happening across our communities was truly inspiring.
