     I hope everyone enjoyed our virtual 36 E convention!  We were pleased to have Past International Director Mark Lyon join us from the state of Connecticut.  It was a pleasure to meet Mark and his wife Lyn.

     I still have 10 clubs left to visit this year.  Some of the scheduling has been a little tricky.  We are either off or on extreme level.  Some clubs are meeting virtually, while others are not meeting at all.  Those with tech knowledge are meeting monthly virtually, but some areas the internet is not good or there are no persons with a computer, thus no meetings.  I personally prefer to meet in person, to just have the personal connection.  What I prefer doesn’t matter, we must follow the guidelines given to us.

     By the time you get to read this, the elections will be over, so congratulations to the new officers.  I know you will do a great job.

     Don’t forget Campaign 100, your donations make so many services available to fellow Lions everywhere.

     Remember we have more conventions coming up, District G and District R and the Multiple District.  One good thing about virtual conventions is you don’t have to leave your home or get dressed up. Please attend as many as you can, it gives you a chance to see how each district does things and you may get some good ideas from each one.

     Thanks for reading, stay safe, wear your mask, social distance, get your shots, and stay well.

“Will you not help me hasten the day when there shall be no preventable blindness; no little deaf, blind child untaught; no blind man or woman unaided? I appeal to you Lions, you who have your sight, your hearing, you who are strong and brave and kind. Will you not constitute yourselves Knights of the Blind in this crusade against darkness?”
— Helen Keller's Speech at 1925 International Convention Cedar Point, Ohio, USA June 30, 1925
