Building Back Our Numbers

July/August - Lions magazine

     I want to thank those who encouraged me to do this awesome job.  I hope that I can make a difference in my year as District Governor.

     This past year has been a real challenge for all of us.  Membership has wavered.  We now face the challenge of building back our numbers as there is much to do in the coming year. 

     Please join me in moving on with what we do as Lions do. 

“WE SERVE.”

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?
