Your effort will help in running Lions of Illinois programs more efficiently. There will be various booths from Lions of Illinois during Candy Day Jamboree. Meet your District Trustees – PCC Steve Anton and PDG Dr. Austin D’Souza. Get ideas on how your club can take part in various fundraisers of Lions of Illinois and make 40% back to your club.
