Thank All Of The Leadership From All Of The Clubs

     We are now closing in on the finishing of the Lion Year 2023-2024 and in getting there we are launching into the season of service activities.  Golf tournaments, car shows, fun runs, road cleaning… you name it – it is the season to be outside and to “get-er-done.”  But before we fully get into this summer it is time also to get our leadership for the following year elected, registered and trained.

     Every club should know or be in the process of establishing their officers for next year.  The Secretaries, new or not, will have to report to Lions International who are the executive boards of you clubs.  In the past the report to fill out has been the PU101.  Not hard or complicated.  With the launch of the new “Portal” website we are hoping that the process will be as easy as it has been In the past and maybe even easier.  Naturally we may be a little bit wary of what the new thing is, this is understandable.  However, it is worth your time to peruse the website ‘Portal’ and get this taken care of.  When all of the new officers have been reported their access to club records becomes available.  I imagine that this report will be able to be filled out and submitted online.

     It is best to have done a little prep before you set out on making the report.  Collect up the names and mailing addresses.  Make sure you have accurate telephone numbers – all, cell, home and business numbers.  Correct (unique) email addresses are a must.  And it is helpful for the directory creator that you include a spouse/partner’s name.  This coming Lion’s year we will have a new MD36 Executive Secretary who is responsible for constructing that Directory.  So being prompt in supplying this information to LCI is so helpful.

     I would like to thank all of the leadership from all of the clubs.  Meeting each of you is and has been such a joy.  I would encourage everyone who has been a leader over the past almost 10 years to take a minute to acknowledge Leah Malcolm for the fantastic work she has done for our MD 36 in compiling the Oregon Lion magazine issues, publishing our Yearly Directory and on and on with her duties.  We have been blessed to have such a professional working in our midst.

“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?”
