INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LIONS CLUBS—DISTRICT 60B
Message by District Governor Lion Isaac Solomon MJF
with members of the cancelled Lions Club in Nevis where we discussed among other things, a plan of action to have the club regain active status.
My visits to the clubs was quite an experience. I was fortunate to meet so many lions and Leos who on a daily basis make it their mission in life to engage in random acts of service to humanity Lions/Leos, with no conditional-ities. I am always touched by perI have completed the mansons whose passion to make datory annual visitations to the communities in which the clubs in the District. I they live better and on my visited all 61 clubs and their visits, I met many. I was Leo Clubs where possible, thrilled by the stories, the including hosting of a Leo sacrifices and indeed the difForum for the Leo's of Reference these lions have gions 1 and 4. Of note is the made in the lives of so many fact that I held a meeting individuals. I am satisfied
that we do have among our membership, a large proportion of individuals who demonstrate the right values and principles to sustain our role in making the world a better place. Unfortunately, many of these lions are not regular attendees to meetings and activities at the District level. As we head to our 35th MD Convention in Kingston Jamaica, it is my hope that lions would have heeded my call, as part of their leadership development and understanding of lionism, to turn out in their numbers and take some responsibility for their own membership experience.
