Keep Up The Good Work

     Lions hunt for food to eat.  Lions roar to be heard as king of the jungle.  Lions rest, sleep and hunt again.  Lions (people) hunt for people in need.  Then hunt for a way to fill that need.  Lions (people) roar to be heard alright but for a good cause or a good deed done.  Lions (people) don’t live quite as simply as a lion.  However, I believe we share a somewhat similar drive to accomplish as they do.

     In visiting clubs I am amazed at how much is being done.  Each club has their own ideas and ways of how each project or need will be fulfilled.  You all are great Lions. Keep up the good work.

     Two months and my term will be over.  First Vice District Governor Cheri Jackson will then be your leader.  She will do a fantastic job I’m sure.  Hopefully there will be no catastrophic things happening to keep her from doing all the visits in person.  That way she can see how you work as a club.

     I must also add that I have met some really neat people this year and hope to keep up these new friendships.

     BE A LION.  BE GRRRRRRREAT!

“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
