As You Serve From The Heart, Remember The Impact You Are Making Each Day

November 06, 2023  /  Guest User

     Fellow Lions, in District 36-R, remarkable growth and heartfelt service abound this year.  Clubs embrace International President Lion Dr. Patty Hills' theme: CHANGING THE WORLD.  Amidst global challenges, PID Lion Shea Nickell's words resonate: “BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.”  Change takes time; let's contribute one project at a time.

     During my club visits, I witness Lions eager to make a difference in their communities and the world. Serving alongside them, I see a collective heartbeat for a better world, improving lives for future generations. This is the essence of being a Lion — Loving Individuals Offering Needed Service.  This is why we all became Lions in the first place.  To serve others and make a difference where we live and in the world.  This is what I see from each of you Lions of District 36-R!

     Reflect on your Lions pin, a symbol of our legacy and optimism. The gold 'L' on a purple field, flanked by Lion profiles, represents our pride in the past and confidence in the future. As you serve from the heart, remember the impact you are making each day and with each service project you work on.

     I'm proud to serve alongside each of you, grateful for your contributions to our communities and the world. SERVICE FROM THE HEART transcends local impact. Together, we're not just changing communities, but CHANGING THE WORLD."

DG Lion Lynn 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
