THIS JOURNEY WAS AMAZING & FUN TO BOOT!

June 04, 2023  /  Leah Malcolm

     As my year as District Governor comes to a close, I am filled with immense excitement as I warmly welcome Pete Runnels of Burns, the incoming District Governor for District G. I have no doubt that he will excel in his new role and accomplish great things for our District.

     As we approach the end of the year, I am pleased to report that it looks like we are going to end the year with a positive number for membership.  Throughout my travels, I have witnessed numerous inspiring initiatives undertaken by our clubs, as they think innovatively to uplift their communities.  I am exceedingly proud of the dedication and efforts exhibited by each member in our clubs.

     I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for entrusting me with the position of District Governor. This journey has been nothing short of amazing and fun to boot. Let's not forget my motto, "Lions Boot Up to Serve," and let us embrace the prospect of stepping outside our comfort zones.  I firmly believe that remarkable opportunities lie ahead for each and every one of you.

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
