Welcome 2012!!

 

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and brought in the new year with a "Bang!"

 

Both Lion Dawn and myself have enjoyed our first half of my year.  We have met many new Lions and have made many new friends as well.  We are so blessed to be among a wonderful District as E-1.  The hospitaility we have been given is very much appreciated and we will never take it for granted.

 

As we start the beginning of a new year and the second half of my term as your District Governor, I am looking forward to meeting the rest of the Clubs I have yet to visit as well as helping more Lions  get more involved in moving up the ladder in the "leadership" role within our District.

 

Have you have ever thought of becoming a Zone Chair, Region Chair or even a District Governor?  What about serving on one of our Committees within our District?  If you have ever thought about what is involved in any of these positions at all please contact either myself, Vice District Governor #1 - Forest Shaner or Vice District Governor #2 - Bob Infantino.  We would be glad to inform you about what the position you are seeking involves and how to start getting more involved in order to reach that position that you want.

 

PDG Barry Haywood is setting up a Committee so that they can meet with those interested in becoming a District Governor some day.  The Committee will meet with you and your "Partner in Service" to inform you of what is entailed as well as the costs that are involved along the trail to District Goivernor.   Please contact PDG Barry Haywood if you are at all interested in becoming a District Governor.

 

This past year we, as Lions, have done a trememdous amount of service within our Communities.  We should all give ourselves "pats" on the backs for a Job Well Done!   As we continue to serve within our communities , let's all take a look at those around us to see if there is a perspective Lion and ask them to at least come to a meeting to see what we are all about.  You never know - you just may find that "someone" who was just waiting to be asked!

 

Finally, when your Club is going to plant the 5 trees or so that I am asking Clubs to do, please let me know so that if possible I would like to attend the tree planting.

 

Thank you all for your continued support and in closing.........

 

Hurry up Spring!!!!!

 

YIL,

 

DG Keith
