Distict 14-C Governor's Message |
Dear Lions, Lioness/Lions and LEOs of District 14C, To say I’m “Honored” to be your District Governor for 2022-2023 is simply not adequate to convey my feelings. I do promise you this, that I will do my best to serve you and the District in the way that you have come to expect from my predecessors. I’m currently getting ready to leave for the International convention in Montreal! We have several days of additional training and we will be hearing from our incoming International President, Brian Sheehan during the opening ceremony. IP Brian has a magnetic personality and he is a visionary leader that will lead our association to great heights in 2022-2023. His slogan this year is “TOGETHER WE CAN” and his inspirational message was simple - “Having FUN in leadership & service,” with the emphasis on the word FUN. I had the opportunity to meet incoming IP Brian at last year’s USA Canada Forum in Des Moines and let me tell you he will be a difficult act to stay up with - the Energizer Bunny even played out before Brian did. Watch out for everything penguins as IP Brian has a fascination with the creature. 😊 In case you were wondering - World Penguin Day is on April 25th each year (You’re welcome for that Tail Twister question). Here’s a taste of IP Brian’s humor. SERVICE / SERVICE / SERVICE This will be at the core of the message I will be sharing with Clubs this coming year. Clubs that are thriving are actively engaged in service. We must constantly be on the lookout for new opportunities to engage with our communities, which in turn, will renew our enthusiasm and attract new members. Just as Clubs exist to serve their communities, the district exists to serve and support its Clubs… Lions International and District 14-C are nothing unless we have strong, active Clubs. I look forward to hearing about your efforts to serve the needs of your communities, as well as your thoughts to serving others in the world through LCIF, efforts to grow and retain our club membership, as well as addressing LCI’s five global causes – vision, hunger, childhood cancer, diabetes and the environment. Yours in Lionism and Service from the Heart, |
Keith Shoff |
