     Here we are at the start of a brand new year.  Thank you to PDG Doug Loose for his leadership last year, and to all the Lions that provided leadership and support to District O in 2021-22.   I look forward to working with all of you this coming year to continue to build strength of leadership and service in District O and the Multiple District.

     My goals this year are to work with the leadership team to help all clubs have a net growth in membership with a focus on clubs with under 20 members.  As part of that goal, 1VDG Ed Glad and I will work with Zone Chairs and other leaders to build service projects and help our clubs be more visible in their communities.  Working together for service we can build membership and positively impact our community. The fall focus will be diabetes related service – keep an eye out for information from your Zone Chair and club leaders.

     Out of these service projects and membership growth we can look for and develop leaders in the Lions around us.  There are some amazing new Lions in our District as well as some who joined a while ago but have not felt ready or been given an opportunity to develop their leadership potential.  1VDG Ed and myself will be working with PDG Doug to continue efforts to get more Lions involved in our service and leadership projects at the District level.

     District 36-O has committee chairs that work to connect Lions to ideas and news for projects and club development as well as service and the international Lions organization.  Through leadership training, Zone meetings and projects, my team and I will be working to get information to all of you about those committees and how you can work with us to increase the impact of Lions throughout the District O community and beyond.

“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
