| My warmest greetings to all Lions as we all together start the new Lionistic year 2010-2011.
I extend my best wishes to all Presidents and Cabinet Officers as they start their respective term of office. I spent 10 days in Sydney attending the Lions Clubs International District Governors - Elect Seminar and the 93rd Lions Clubs International Convention.
It was an enriching experience meeting fellow Governors - Elect, sharing ideas and our experience. The learning from the c lass sessions and seminars was informative and enlightening.
Let us be reminded that core to being a Lion is “ To Serve”. I am glad that International President Sid L. Scruggs III is emphasing on service.
All clubs are encouraged to establish a signature service project and look into service in the following areas:-
- Youth
- Preventable Blindness
- Hunger
- Environment
Presidents, I urge all of you to look into developing and establishing a signature service project for your club in the above areas if possible or generally – a project that is meaningful, significant and something you can be proud to proclaim. You may consider doing the project on your own or jointly with other clubs. My cabinet officers will be pleased to assist you. International President will recognise outstanding achievement by clubs and districts in the area of service and more details will be given later. |
