Provide Service From The Heart

October 25, 2021  /  Guest User

     Lions of 36-R thank you for who you are and what you do.  When we talk about Lions and service, to me they go hand in hand.  Like apple pie and vanilla ice cream. 

When a Lion is introduced to me, the first thing that comes to my mind is that I am meeting an individual that cares about others.  Someone that wants to give back to their community.  Someone that wants to make a difference on this planet we live on.  Someone that wants to make another's life better and easier as they deal with daily challenges. Someone that wants to make things better when they leave this earth for future generations.

LIONS = Loving Individuals Offering Needed Service

     Each of you Lions serves from your hearts.  As we continue our Lion’s year - don't forget why you joined Lions.  Don't forget to invite your friends or your neighbor to join you in your service project. Invite them to a meeting, let them know what we are all about.

     Lions really are the best kept secret.  Be proud of what you stand for.  Be proud to wear your Lion’s pin, the pin you were presented when you were sworn in as a new member of your club, your district and Lions Clubs International.  Your Lion’s pin stands for something.  It represents your membership in the world’s largest service organization.

     Your Lion’s pin consists of a gold letter L on a circular purple field.  Bordering this is a circular gold area with two Lion profiles at either side facing away from the center.  The Lions face both the past and the future.  Proud of the past and confident of the future.  Lions remember this as you continue to serve and doing what you do for others.  Think about the difference you have made in others’ lives, in your communities, and what you can continue to do as a Lion – provide service from the heart.  Remember you are making a difference in this world we live in, in the communities you serve, and in the lives of those you serve.  I'm proud to serve with each of you.  I Believe Lions Change Lives Today.  So go out and Change someone’s life.

District Governor Lion Lynn Coon 36-R

“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
