WE HAVE LOTS TO BE PROUD OF

April 04, 2023  /  Leah Malcolm

     As this issue goes to press most of the district conventions will be completed.  Sorry that DG Kerith Vance of District O had to re-schedule, but I am certain that convention will be great!   It has been fun traveling across the State and getting to know Lions from other districts and meeting with more clubs in District 36G.  We have such great people in Oregon, we have lots to be proud of and there are so many new ideas for service that have come forward.

     The yard signs and magnets have been a big hit and I can't wait to drive through our towns and see how we are getting the message of Lions out to our neighbors and communities.  I want to personally thank all the District Governors in Oregon and the other Lions that took the initiative and time to get the grant that brought these colorful signs to our towns.  They sure catch your eye as you are passing by.  I am certain it will get the community to ask questions and bring more members wanting to serve as do all our currents Lions.

     We still have the Multiple District Convention in Seaside in May.  I hope to see lots of you there enjoying our Coast!

Yours in Lionism,

Cheri Jackson DG 36G

“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
