HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

It’s the time of year to reflect on what we have done in our Lions Clubs in 2024 and what we will be doing this next year.  It is a time to consider what worked and what didn’t. This is where our new members can help with their enthusiasm and ideas. They can help our clubs grow and prosper.  It’s important to remember Lions Clubs International has many ideas and programs to help us as Lions. A very easy way to get to these areas is to use Google search with ‘Lions International’ as the lead word.  Remember, that I, and others in our District, are here to help, just call me.

New Year resolutions are on the minds of many, and as Lions, you can make a point of asking at least one person a month to join us in projects or our club meeting. Better yet come up with your own resolution.

Important dates coming up for District 36E:  Third Cabinet Meeting on Zoom, Saturday January 18, starting at 10:00 am. I will have the link out to all officers and they can share with you, their members.  Our District 36E Convention will be centrally located in Central Point. It could be a long day trip for a large part of the District, or a great weekend for those who choose to stay over.  More information to follow soon.

I wish to thank all the Lions for all the good work you did last year and the support you have given me. BEEing a Lion and giving Service from the Heart allows us all to make our Mark for Lionism.  Trudy and I wish you the very best for 2025.

Paul Novak DG

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?
