Flag
The presentation of the flags took place on April 30, 2021. It was held
at the LCI Headquarters in Oakbrook. The 4 Districts who participated were 1-A , 1-BK, I-J and I-M. Due to expected rain, the morning outdoor group drone shot was canceled. But they proceeded with the afternoon shoot of “the presentation of the flags” which included a few fun indoor shots in the morning. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Lions for stepping up to volunteered for this exciting event. MDI Lions also took some video footage and photos of the lions parading in front of the LCI Building. Kristopher Kempski is requesting all the participants who took some video and photos not to share on any social media, websites until the convention takes place between

May 15, 2021 via Zoom Fellow Lions and Leos of MD-1, Our 100th Annual MD-1 Convention will be held May 15, 2021. Because of the pandemic restrictions related to the size of gatherings, this year’s convention will be held virtually via ZOOM. All Lions and Leos are invited to attend. This will be the first – and hopefully only – virtual state convention. The convention committee has spent a lot of time and effort working on this event. I want to thank State Convention Chair Lion Terri Pasternik for her efforts working through uncharted waters this year. Agenda Because this is a virtual event there will be no charge for attending so you do not have to leave the comfort of your home. The agenda is still being finalized but we expect the first plenary session to run from 1:00 to 3:00, followed by district caucuses and voting, with the second and final plenary session running from 6:00 to around 8:15.
Some of the highlights include hearing from our International Guest, recognition of State and International Presidential award recipients, a necrology service, voting on 4 constitutional resolutions, the announcement of the LIF Sight-And-Sound Sweepstakes winners, the revealing of next year’s Council Chair and State Chairs, and six gift card giveaways. International Guest Our International Guest this year is Past International President Clem Kusiak. PIP Clem is excited to be visiting with the Lions of Illinois and we look forward to having him with us via Zoom on May 15 th.
