Being a Lion is Heartwarming & Fun!

     Get excited, Lions! The highly anticipated Multiple District at Seaside is just around the corner and I can't wait to see many of you there! We've already had an incredible time at the four District Conventions, and they were all wonderful.  I know District G had a blast at Wildhorse this year with a laid-back vibe that everyone enjoyed. We were fortunate to have the delightful presence of ID Ron Keller and his wife Kitty, and I hope they will make their way back to Oregon soon.

     As we move forward, our District is on an upward trajectory, and we have some exciting news to share. Pete Runnels from Burns has stepped up to be our District Governor for the upcoming year, and Betty Jane Bugbee will be our 1st Vice!  This is fantastic news for our District, and I have no doubt that they will both bring exceptional leadership qualities to the table.  While we are still looking for a 2nd Vice and a District Secretary, I know we will find some outstanding individuals to fill these roles.  If you are considering or even have the slightest thought of taking on one of these positions, please reach out to our leaders and let them know.  It's an incredibly rewarding experience to serve at the District level.

     Let's not forget that being a Lion is not only heartwarming, but it can also be a lot of fun!  So let's make the most of it and have a blast while we serve!

Yours in Lionism,

Cheri Jackson DG 36-G

“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
