"Together We Can"

July 22, 2022  /  Guest User

     Fellow Lions we are headed into a new Lion Year and we have a new theme for 2022-2023:  “Together We Can!”   We have a lot to accomplish.   Lions Clubs around the world lost members during Covid.  All four Oregon Districts had a loss.  Lions gave up social gatherings, holiday parties and in person meetings.  However, we still held food drives, clothing drives, delivered meals, constructed and delivered PPC, and many more activities of service.  Avoiding contact did not stop us.

     Now Lions are meeting in person.  Service projects are again visible to the public.  Clubs are seeing an increase in new member applications.  We are in the public and inspire others to join us and help others through our many projects.  With new members we benefit with new ideas and enthusiasm.  With new members we show that “Together We Can”.

     When you receive the July/August edition of the Oregon Lion Magazine, our new District Governors will have completed their training and trip to Lions International Convention in Montreal, Canada.  They also filled their slate of officers for their 2022-2023 term and set their goals.   We thank each and every one of you for stepping up and taking on a new position.  You make a difference in what Oregon Lions accomplish.  And you help our DGs achieve the goals they have set for their respective districts.  “Together We Can” with your help.  Thank you for stepping up to serve with us!!

     Our International President for 2022-2023, Brian Sheehan, adopted the theme of:  “Together We Can”!  The words energize us as we step out and serve our community with a renewed enthusiasm.

     We thank you for joining us on this new Lions journey for MD36.  We appreciate your ideas and your enthusiasm.  This year of service is will be exciting because:  “Together We Can”.

“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
