It has been a whirlwind first month for me as your District Governor. I have attended club meetings, picnics, golf outings, inducted new members and new club officers.
We recently held our first D1 cabinet meeting for this Lions year. It was attended by 64 Lions and one Lions youth exchange student. Her name is Dalma Kurti and she is from Budapest, Hungary. I asked her if she would like to say a few words and she did not hesitate. She spoke about how impressed she was with the way we Lions worked as a team and how we supported each other. I could not agree with her more. Well said Dalma! I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Wisconsin.
We heard from all our committee chairs and I was thoroughly impressed by all the hard work and effort that everyone puts in. Thank you for all that you do!
Our Global Action Team along with Lion Steve Pogue and Lion Adam Crowson held Zone Chair training before the cabinet meeting. It was a fantastic session with 9 of our 12 zone chairs in attendance. We have four new Zone Chairs this year and they were all there learning how they can assist the clubs in their zones. I encourage all of you to attend the upcoming zone meetings in your area and hear about all the great things that are going on in our district.
Last, but certainly not least, myself, IPDG Jeff Winkler and twenty-one Sun Prairie Lions became Certified Eye Tissue Transporters. LEBW is having several online training sessions this month so that you too can become certified. Helping to give the gift of sight to someone is one of the greatest things we can do as Lions. Please consider taking the training and becoming a CERTIFIED eye tissue transporter.
Yours in Lionism,
DG Ron Wright
