Let's Continue Building

May 18, 2023  /  Leah Malcolm

     What a month it has been!  We have a new Lions Club in Tillamook that is preparing to celebrate their charter.  Keep watch for information on how you can help them celebrate.  Leos are growing with a new group in McMinnville and another in the works in Tillamook.  It is exciting to see brand new excited Leos and Lions joining District O.

     Around the District, several clubs are inducting new members and others are working on plans for spring and summer community events to get the word out about their club and provide service at the same time.  We all know that while sometimes getting a new member is as easy as just asking, other times it takes a team of Lions working together to create a planned event and put a membership search into action.  Myself and 1VDG Ed Glad are interested in building a team of Lions who are passionate about membership and have the interest and energy to assist their own and other clubs in membership growth.  If that sounds like you, please let us know.

     In the next six weeks, our clubs have a lot on their plates as they pick next year's officers and update their membership information in MyLCI.  Please remember to check all current members emails and other info so that we are all ready for the new system Lions Club International is creating for next Lion year.  Time to look at any members who need to be dropped, and then hopefully add all your new members so that we can end this year with a positive membership growth in District O.

     I hope to see you at State Convention and at your KTP Day events this Spring!

“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
