DG Bob Faliveno
We held a moment of silence for the passing of Lion Greg Johll Bob explained the Ugly Troll and Lion LeRoy who will travel around the District. He will take donations on the Troll and Lion. Troll proceeds will go the Restoring Hope Transplant House. Lion proceeds will go to the Eye Bank. Bob has chosen the theme -- “You have the Power” -- during his year as governor. Reflects on the fact all of us have the ability to move forward and have a positive influence on family, friends and communities. We all just need to do “just” one more thing. Soon our accomplishments will make a difference. Take the power and make a difference. Bob reflected on his goal to reduce member drops by 35% Over all this will add 79 new members (8 new members and 2 new clubs) Talk to members, find out what they need.
