Empower Each Lion To Serve From The Heart

Hello Lions,

     As we close in towards the end of our Lion’s year there is so much we have accomplished, but still much to do.  International President Lion Doug Alexander talks about service from the heart:  By letting our passion shine through there is nothing we cannot accomplish.  I believe the same thing.  If we go out and show compassionate service, putting our hearts in action, taking care of our clubs, our members and our communities -- WE WILL GROW.

      With our growth and engagement with our communities and our members we can support global causes.  We can encourage new service ideas that can benefit us all. 

We have membership willing and ready to serve.  We all feel good when we are serving and helping others.  If not we would not of joined the largest service organization in the world.  THE LIONS.  Invite your friends, neighbors, fellow employees and change someone’s life.

     President Lion Doug Alexander has wants to empower each Lion to serve from the heart.

1)    Compassionate Service.  Putting our hearts in action, prioritizing club and community health and safety, encouraging innovation and new service, and supporting our global causes.

2)    Membership Growth and Engagement.  Be ready to serve.  Achieve new service through new clubs, invite a member and change their life, empower each Lion to serve from their heart.

3)    Communication.  Our connection across all levels.  Listen to your Lions and share your success with your community.  Communication is the key.  Listen to our Lions, listen to our communities and then act.  We have success stories every day of clubs and Lions serving and making a difference.  Continue to serve, continue to invite and continue to change lives as you do so.  I'm proud to serve with each of you as we are making a difference on this journey together.    

     Remember SERVICE FROM THE HEART.  I Believe Lions Change Lives Today and Forever. DG 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?”
