From the Editor’s Desk,
Friends, we are Honoring our District Governor today, and on behalf of Lady Lions of District 3231-A1, I hereby sincerely thank our District
Governor Lion Divyeshbhai Shah for giving us an equal opportunity to “Think Equal, Build Smart, Innovate for Change” as this is the theme for
International Women’s Day 2019 which happens to be today. Our First Lady International President Lion Gudrun Yngvadottir did believe in
herself at every step in Lionism, and did everything possible to help forge a more gender-balanced Lionism Globally. Women have come a long
way , yet there’s still more to be achieved !
We would like to extend our appreciation for the amazing work done by you Sir, this Lionistic year 2018-19. The endless hours that you spent
working on different activities in Lionism, and the professionalism that you brought to it only goes to show how dedicated you were in wanting to
achieve the best for District 3231-A1. Thank you for your endless patience, motivation and persistence which helped Lions to rise and soar.
We join together in wishing you and your family every success in many exciting new ventures.
Best Wishes.
