WE NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

     Here we are in April and ready to elect our club officers.  It is also time when our next District Governor, Lion Ed Glad, is working to finish building his leadership team for 2023-24.  This includes Zone Chairs who want to build collaboration with their local clubs, as well as Lions with particular interest areas who want to participate in the District O Cabinet.  Are you interested in creating momentum and interest around environmental, hunger, vision, family and women's issues?  Do you have a passion for Leos, guide dogs, the peace poster contest or even Robert's Rules of Order?  Do you want to see change and be part of making it happen?  Maybe you've held a position for a while and are ready to give your skills to another role. If you are, we need you and want to work with you to serve the Lions Clubs of District O and their communities.

     Often new Lions and younger Lions have incredible skills and ideas that the rest of us need to grow from around 800 Lions in our District up to 1000 Lions and Leos or more!  They may not know how a club officer or district officer position works or what kind of time is involved.  They may want to take a fresh look at a club tradition to keep it strong and current.  If that is you or someone you know, please reach out to myself or Lion Ed.  andycat3@comcast.net, eglad57@gmail.com  There is a way for you to contribute and bring value to your fellow Lions and community that will fit.  Believe me, we understand commitments to family, work, and other social groups and service projects and value your time and your effort enough to make it work.

     To build stronger clubs, larger networks, and engage in meaningful service to those around us, we need to think outside the box!  Check out this Lions International video and others on their website to learn more.  https://youtu.be/tSXBuTdOtUo
