     Greetings Lions of 36-R.

     As your new District Governor I look forward to visiting all of your clubs, meeting all of you and serving alongside each of you Lions of 36-R.  As this 2021-2022 new Lion’s year begins I want you to know that 36-R’s District Cabinet is looking forward to great things for our District and for our clubs.

      I am excited to be your District Governor and make this journey this Lion’s year with each of you.  One thing I want the Lions of 36-R to know is that we as a Cabinet are here to serve you.  It's your club your way but we are here to help the clubs succeed and serve their communities.  We all share a bond and that is the service we do for others.  New clubs.  New members.  New opportunities to lead, to grow, to encourage and to do good things.

     Our incoming International President Doug Alexander's theme this year is Service From the Heart.  I encourage each Lion of 36-R to follow the lead of President Alexander and go out there and serve.  When we serve from the heart it is contagious and others will follow.  

     As Mohammed Ali said and I try to follow this very thought "Service is the rent we pay for our time here on earth." 

     So Lions of 36-R – let’s have fun this Lion’s year.  Let’s help one another serve others in our communities.  Let’s grow our club membership because as you know the more members we have the more service we can do.

     I thank you for this opportunity to serve YOU the Lions of 36-R this Lion’s year.

District Governor Lion Lynn Coon 36-R

“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
