     Fellow Lions, welcome to 2023!!  I wish all of you a Happy and Healthy New Year.

     Our District Governors are halfway through their term and working on their District Conventions.  I encourage all members to help and support our District Governors. You will be surprised at the information you will obtain and the feeling of community from interacting with other Lions. Consider getting involved.  And, please attend, it is rewarding and fun.

     District R’s Convention is on February 4, and District O’s Convention is February 25.  The registration forms are in the January issue of the Oregon Lion magazine.  If you have not registered, you can call the Convention Chairperson.  We would love to see you.  And, do not forget our MD36 Convention is in Seaside on May 19-20.  The theme is 'Together We Can' and we need you there.

     The month of January was Hunger Awareness month.  Many clubs held food drives to help restock the shelves of local food pantries.  The increase in the cost of grocery items has made it difficult for many families throughout our Multiple District.  Food banks throughout Oregon/No. California are dealing with the increase in demand.  Lions will continue to give their support.

     The month of February is Childhood Cancer Awareness month.  PDG Gary Mose is our Chairperson.  For information on donations contact Lion Gary at dglionservice@hotmail.com

     I look forward to attending the Conventions with you.  MD36 Lions are working hard to diminish hunger in our communities and supporting the efforts to diminish childhood cancer.

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
