PARTING COMMENTS FROM

As we transition from one year to the next, it’s essential to prioritize service. Over the past three years, the Lions organization has experienced significant growth and fostered valuable friendships. As a young lion, I’ve been fortunate to have exceptional mentors and a supportive cabinet. Effective leadership relies on the quality of the team, and I’ve been surrounded by outstanding leaders. Stepping outside the conventional boundaries has been both challenging and rewarding. We’ve embraced new opportunities while staying true to our traditional values, particularly in our commitment to membership growth. IPP Patti Hill encouraged us to participate in Mission 1.5, and district 2-T2 rose to the occasion. My goal was to build momentum for DG Jake, and although we came close, it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated individuals in our District. I extend my gratitude to everyone who contributed, and together, we’ll continue to make District 2-2T a standout in MD 2. Remember that by not asking, we deny friends and neighbors the chance to experience something truly wonderful. Let’s rally behind DG Jake and FVDG Vohnya as we strive for continued growth and service within our District.”

Yours in Service IPDG Chris
