United In Helping

     Our name change was announced at the Lions International Convention in Montreal, Canada.  We are now:  Lions International.  The acronym, LCI, will remain in use.  LCI is a common phrase and internationally associated with Lions.  However, Lions International it is!

     Throughout MD36 we are moving forward, helping local clubs with service projects and membership.  Our four District Governors are on the road making visitations.  In the process, they are also inducting new members and motivated by your various service projects and ideas.

     Club Presidents, when you receive the call from your District Governor, try to schedule their visit to accommodate their schedule and as timely as possible.  They have a lot of area to cover.  Your District Governor will also be bringing new ideas and suggestions to help you serve your community.  They have suggestions for increasing membership, new service projects and ways to just have fun.

     MD36 has a District Governor who raises and trains horses; a District Governor with two dogs; a District Governor with two jobs and a cat; and a District Governor devoted to Ducks (??) !  Our Governors come from varied backgrounds and experiences; however, they are united in helping you and your club move forward with Lions International. 

 

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
