MD19 – District I – Zone 12 Report for District I Cabinet meeting on March 15, 2025 Submitted by Lion Kim Jensen, Zone Chairperson for Zone 12 I am finally feeling like I am getting somewhat caught up after being sick for a few months. Zone 12 had their second Zone meeting on February 22, 2025, in Logan Lake. Logan Lake Lions hosted the Zone meeting at their community Fire Hall and provided us with a tasty lunch of a variety of soups and buns and dessert. The Fire Hall is well equipped with technology that allowed us to also include Lions virtually if they were unable to attend in person. Please check out the Logan Lake Lions Leos Facebook page for a video of their latest Escape Room event with the theme of Alice in Wonderland. The event was well planned, implemented, and received by the local community. The Logan Lake Leos are an active group of 16 youth with amazing creative talents. There was representation from four out of the five clubs in Zone 12. The missing club had meant to be there but had a mix up in dates. They provided a written report though which I read out to the rest of the group. I am pleased to say that almost all clubs have seen an increase in membership this year so far, with several new members being inducted at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. There are more inductions to come soon! The clubs have been busy with fundraising projects as well as service projects throughout the winter. It looks like we will have an even busier spring with BBQ season starting in April and other fundraising efforts that continue throughout all seasons. The variety of service projects in the Zone is inspiring and heartwarming. I am completing my first official round of visits to the clubs this month and our Zone is having its third Zone meeting in May. We will be in Ashcroft for this next Zone meeting with Ashcroft and District Lions Club hosting us and providing the technology for us to be able to include those Lions that are not able to travel to the meeting and participate in person. I have put my name forward for the Zone Chair position for Zone 12 again for 2025 – 2026. All the best, Lion Kim Jensen Zone Chairperson MD19 – DI – Zone 12 2024 - 2025
