MARCH DG COMMENTS:
The month of February was certainly jam packed with meetings, snow cancellations
and some fun projects. First of all, Thank You to many of the clubs who had great PR
activities in January and then to other clubs who did continue and carry forward more
PR projects in February!! This has certainly been amazing as to the information we
can get out to the public when we take the time to focus on the area of PR and then
do it. Please let Alison Claerhout, the District PR Chairman, know of the work you
have done in that area.
Thank you to Jim Roberts and all the Lions and Lioness who support and help out on
Winter Camp! It was another tremendous weekend with help and support from
various Lions and Lioness Clubs. If you or your club has not taken the opportunity to
attend or help out with Winter Camp, please put that on your Calendar for next year.
It is certainly a fun and rewarding experience to work with the visually impaired and
blind.
I had an interesting comment at one meeting and I guess I had not thought about my
serving in two areas for the District. First, I serve this District and clubs as the District
Governor. Some of the areas I have been focusing on are: providing more
information to the Clubs through Club Presidents and Secretaries, making sure that
we support needs of clubs when asked, and providing ideas for community service to
those looking for additional ways to serve their community. Secondly, I have taken on
the responsibility as District Membership Chair. So when I began talking membership
and how we go about bringing other hands in to help us even do more, I am talking to
you as the membership chair and not necessarily as the District Governor. The
membership chair of the District is responsible for a membership growth program as
well as working with Clubs who ask for help in this area. I hope that clarifies the two
positions that I represent this year.
Lastly, everyone should have received information on the upcoming District
Convention coming up in Ann Arbor at the Clarion Inn on April 16-17 , 2010. It is my
hope that every club will have some representation at this event. The memorial
service will be led by our District Chaplain , Art Turner on Friday night.
After that there is the “Penny Carnival” where everyone can have some fun at “kid “
games as well as some skilled games. Win some prizes as well as meet many of
your other Lions, Lioness , and Leo friends. We need to have you there to enjoy the
evening. Clubs have already been donating gifts for the raffle which will be drawn for
on Saturday after the Banquet. This year you will also have the opportunity to visit the
Michigan Eye Bank which is about 5 miles from the Convention. We still have 4
months to have District 11-B1 –MOVE TO GROW. We count on you to be part of
this challenge. Keep on providing the leadership and service that make Lions ,
Lioness , and Leos the great organization that it is!!
