By District Governor Henry White
With August behind us, this Lion year is moving at a fast pace. I would like
to thank the 2017-2018 Service Chairs for visiting clubs in the District and giving programs about their committee. I am amazed at how many Lions are doing this. I would like to encourage our scholarship chairs to do the same. At this time 2-X1 Charities, Inc is running out of scholarship funds. The only way we can continue the District Scholarship Program is by the Chairs visiting the clubs and letting them know our needs.
I would like to thank the members of the Richardson Host Lions Club, Dallas White Rock Lions Club, Cedar Hill Lions Club, Dallas South Lions Club, Mesquite Host Lions Club, Irving Evening Lions Club, Plano Early Lions Club, and Dallas Oak Cliff Lions Club.The hospitality extended to me as I made my official Governor’s visits was very much appreciated. I enjoyed being with every one of you.
One of the Governor goals is to have more Service Projects; I believe if we partner with our community and have more service projects it will attract more members to our organization. Our clubs must have a membership plan and set goals for your organization’s growth.
I would like to ask a question to all of you, do you have a Lions application with you now? Have you asked anyone to join your club in the last week? As I thought about it, I had not. If 10% of the 1786 members in this District answered yes to the above mentioned qustions, we would not be a negative 131 in membership we would be a plus 47 in membership. Please work with your Zone Chairs; they have been thru training to help your club rebuild, set goals, Increase your membership, and get back on track.
It was a pleasure to be present when IPDG Bill Smothermon received his International President’s Award; which is the second highest honor in Lionism! Congratulation it was well deserved (Continued page 10)
