February 25th Is Our Convention

January 09, 2023  /  Guest User

     Happy New Year Lions of District O!  We made it to 2023 and I'm hearing about a lot of service projects and even a new group of Leos and Lions for us to celebrate about!

     February 25th is our convention and I hope that many of you will be able to join us live in Portland to say hello and roar for all the service projects.  Service and leadership information and ideas will be presented, and we want your input on the focus of the District O Cabinet for next year.  We also hope you will bring a basket to raffle with our "paws for service" theme.

     It's time to take a moment to briefly look back to see how your club is doing and then make goals for the rest of this year.  How many new members do you want?  Who are your upcoming leaders that you can encourage to new roles?  What service project needs an update or needs to make way for a brand new idea?  Do you have a club member interested in helping lead the District in 2023?

     Keep your eyes and ears peeled for information on leadership training, officer training, a walk for pediatric cancer and a new LCIF fundraiser.  There will also be a chance to congratulate and support our newest Leos and Lions clubs!

     Huddle up with your club members in these last cold days of winter to plan and get ready for a wonderful second half of the Lion year!

“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
