Lions Club By Linda Hite

hen Mr. Arsenault asked me to write something about what it means to me to be to be a Lion, I had no idea where to start. Then I started typing and remembered he said to limit it to about 800 words. Well, I don’t’ know if I can do that, but I will try. I am a second-generation Lion. My Dad was a Lion in Southern Illinois for many years and became a LifeMember sometime in the 1970s. I saw the dedication he had to helping others and it inspired me to do something better with my life. Consequently, I became a chiropractor and I now help many people on a daily basis. Thanks Dad!!! One of my patients invited me to a dinner meeting at Virgie’s in the fall of 2008, and the rest, as they say, is history. I have been the Chairperson of many committees, on the Board of Directors and gone through the ranks of Second Vice President, First Vice President and President of the Gallup Lions Club. On the State level, I have been a Zone Chair for Northwestern New Mexico, Second Vice District Governor, First Vice District Governor and will be District Governor 20222023 for District 40N. All of these positions are volunteer and require you be dedicated 10
