Now Is The Time To Help

      This February is our District O Convention and I hope to see many of you as we gather to celebrate our successes and take an opportunity to learn more about different service opportunities for our clubs.  1VDG Ed Glad will also lead a small group activity aimed at providing information for the goals and needs of next year’s leadership in our District.  Senator Gordon Smith will be speaking, and we will all have a chance to visit with our amazing International Director Bob Lee and his wife Pam from Hawaii.

     Convention is a great time for newer and seasoned Lions to get to know one another and find out what we are up to as a District.  This spring there will be opportunities to participate in a pediatric cancer walk and a brand new fundraiser for our international foundation!  There are always opportunities to serve with the Oregon Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation as well as the various camps Lions support here in Oregon such as Gales Creek and the Hull Foundation.  Please watch your email for more information.

     Now is the time to help your community and inspire them and your Lions Club with a fun service project as the sun begins to return.  Perhaps this is a chance to gain some new members and help our District reach its membership growth goal.  New leaders may be waiting amongst your club to lead a project or take over as a club officer for next year.  It is not too late to encourage upcoming leaders to attend the Northwest Lions Leadership training in April.

     I look forward to seeing you this Spring as we all get out to support our communities!

“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
