IFVP DOUGLAS X. ALEXANDER
RHSOP HONORS IFVP DOUG
The Richmond Hill-South Ozone Park Lions Club
(RHSOPLC) hosted the International First Vice-
President Douglas X Alexander at the Impulse Lounge
in Queens, NY. IFVP Doug is on the final lap of his
meetings and consultations in preparation for the pres-
tigious office as President of Lions Clubs International
(LCI). LCI currently represents Lions Clubs in more
than two hundred countries worldwide, and IFVP
Doug is on track to be installed during the Internation-
al Convention in Montreal, Canada, in June 2021.
Born in Brooklyn and a Lion for more than 36 years,
IFVP Douglas Alexander worked in the banking in-
dustry while building a strong resume in LCI, the
world’s largest service organization. Today he stands
on the threshold of creating history as the first African
American President of LCI in its 104-year history.
RHSOPLC members proudly hold him up as a great
example of leadership, humility and service in
Lionism! We are proud to join him in celebrating his
achievements as a Lion.
In his remarks, he shared memories of his 36 year
journey as a Lion, serving in several different offices.
We were honored to have him induct Lions Bihari
Lall, Tejkoomar (Ravo) Persaud and Stacey
Mohamed. Several Lions offered tributes to IFVP
Doug’s trail blazing contributions to Lionism, espe-
cially to our home District 20-K1.
To help defray the cost of campaign expenses, club
members contributed a donation of $5.000 which was
presented by Lion Romeo Hitlall (President),
