Message from Governor Howard Swacker: Fellow Lions & Leos of District 1A: We had a wonderful convention a week ago. Our International Guests, International III Vice President Brian Sheehan and his lovely wife Lori Sheehan were very happy to see District 1A Convention and Lion Leaders in the District. Lion Lori made a remark on Facebook saying, “So much great leadership in District 1A….” Our District leadership really impressed this couple. My sincere thanks to all those Lions who made our District 1A Convention very successful and memorable one. My thanks to each one of your for attending our 51 st District Convention.
There are many more to be honored in our district for their dedicated service in making District events successful; wish I had hundreds of certificates to honor them all. I thank one and all for their dedicated service. Every time when we have some good news, we also get some bad news. Lion Linda Nilsson and RC Victor Genge are ill and they need your prayers. Please keep them in your prayers. -Gov Howard Swacker, swacker6@sbcglobal.net
I reached my Convention Theme Goal – Leather & Lace. Was very proud to see so many Lions with leather and lace costumes; it was really a convention of motor-bikers! Now we have Governor Elect Joan McMillan, II VDG Merilyn McLean and unfortunately our candidate for III VDG Hina Trivedi lost her bid. Soon we are going to have III VDG selected in our forthcoming Cabinet Meeting on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at Connie’s Pizza Place in Berwyn. We also elected PCC Steve Anton as our District 1A Trustee for second term and VOICES Directors. Some Lions were honored with International President’s Certificate of Appreciation.
