Fresh New Ideas

March 10, 2023  /  Leah Malcolm

Dear Lions,

     I am hoping the weather is finally showing some improvements in your area.  It is time to start that Spring cleaning and getting those "honey-do" lists completed.  It is time for that in our Clubs also.  Get business caught up, present those new ideas for ways to help our communities and think of fundraising ideas.  We have started inducting some new members and I hope they also come with some fresh new ideas.  It seems summer goes too fast and winter lasts too long in Eastern Oregon but we really do have 4 beautiful seasons.  Perfect for plenty of outdoor and indoor activities.

     I have met with a few more clubs that were willing to combine the clubs into one visitation which is so helpful with the cost of visitations.  They also got club visit credits so it was an extra win for them.  As the weather permits, I will get my visits in to the more outlying clubs.  I can't wait to see everyone!

     I’m looking forward to Spring.  The yard signs and car magnets are slowing getting delivered and I am anxious to get them to everyone.  They look so great being displayed around town!  If I haven't made it to your club you can also pick them up during convention March 31st and April 1st.  I have ordered sunshine and no wind for that weekend.  I hope to see you all there!

Your in Lionism,

Cheri Jackson

“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
