New Year, New Resolutions! Welcome to New Year 2018 We did complete 6 months of current Lionistic year 20172018. I am very proud to say that I reached half of my goal, i.e., now I have one new club – Chicago Centennial Lions Club with the challenging work by District 1A Membership Team. We will be celebrating this club’s Charter Nite on January 7, 2018 at the Crystal Sky Banquets, McCook, IL. Honored Guest for this event will be none other than our International President Dr. Naresh Aggarwall from India. We are very proud to have him to celebrate the charter nite of our new Chicago Centennial Lions Club. Donation for the event is only $30 per person and I request as many lions as possible to attend this event and take part in our celebration. Bigger number will give a fitting honor to our International President. Pass on this message to all your club members. As our new club’s first fund-raiser, I request all of you to bring one non-perishable item for their food pantry. For reservation, please contact Lion Maryann O’Reilly at 708-749-2433 immediately as time is running out. We had a wonderful District 1A Christmas Party. I want to thank all of you those who attended this event and made it successful.
This month we are going to have Annual MidYear Leadership Forum at the Holiday Inn Chicago South West, Countryside, IL. Registration for this event will be $20 per person and January 22nd will be the deadline for registration; hurry up and bring more members from your club. -Pat Duda, District 1A Governor Pduda0614@yahoo.com
