Distict 14-C Governor's Message |
Dear Lions, Lioness/Lions and LEOs of District 14C, It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your District Governor. I am grateful for the example provided by some great District 14C leaders who preceded me and am especially thankful to IPDG Tom Jones for his leadership through the pandemic. Where do we go from here? Well, based on an understanding of where we are and would like to be as a District in the areas of service, membership and leadership, we have established District goals. These goals can be seen both here, in the Directory, and on our District web page. Having the support of a great District leadership team, I believe these goals are achievable if, and only if, we can help Lions Clubs and LEO Clubs throughout the District to be successful. Now emerging from the pandemic, we may need to determine what help our clubs need to be successful. Clubs have been affected in different ways. Some clubs have been able to remain active in service while meeting regularly either in person or virtually. Others have found it difficult to meet and serve. Some have been able to retain their membership and possibly even see some growth, while others have lost members. Club leaders who might benefit from assistance and support provided by the District should reach out to their Zone Chair. The Zone Chair may provide assistance and/or contact the District Governor or another representative from the Global Action Team to explain what the club wants to do and ask for assistance. Our goal will be to meet the Club where it is and provide assistance, possibly with the use of some great LCI resources such as Build a Vision for Your Club, Blueprint for a Stronger Club, and the Club Quality Initiative. As I meet with club leaders and members throughout the year, I will be anxious to hear about their efforts to serve the needs of their local communities, as well as their efforts to serve others in the world through LCIF. I will also be interested in their efforts to retain and grow their club membership so that we can do even more to address community needs as well as LCI’s five global causes – vision, hunger, childhood cancer, diabetes and the environment. As we begin this new year, let us reflect with satisfaction on what we have done and are doing as Lions, and then rededicate ourselves to keeping our clubs strong, vibrant and visible in service in our communities and the world. We will need “all hands, on deck”, which is my theme for the District 14C 2021-2022 Lions year. Yours in Lionism and Service from the Heart, |
Dan Brant |
