I11 ZONE CHAIR NEWS

Introduction

My name is Leona Pryor. I am married to 

Don and we have 3 children and 10 

grandchildren. I have been involved with 

the Lions for 4 years holding the positions 

of secretary and president. I have so 

much to learn! I was a care aide with 

Interior health for 28 years retiring in 

2018. Retirement was not for me so I am 

currently on the leadership team of a 

facility in Salmon Arm. I love camping, 

fishing and anything water related. I look 

forward to working with you all! 

THE WAY TO 

ACHIEVE YOUR 

OWN SUCCESS IS 

TO BE WILLING TO 

HELP SOMEBODY 

ELSE GET IT FIRST. 

HELP OTHERS 

SUCCEED.

YOUR CLUB DOINNG

What a summer it has 

been!

I apologize for such a tardy start to the 

Lions year. It has been a summer of 

emotional, professional and personal 

challenges. I am sure many of our 

members are feeling overwhelmed as 

well. 

How can we help with disaster relief!

Our first Zoom Zone meeting will be held October 14th @ 6:00pm. 

As a zone we need to look at long term goals to aid with rebuilding 

the areas devastated by natural disasters. Please bring your ideas. 

I will send the link for the meeting in a separate email.

In the upcoming days I will be calling secretaries in our zone to set up a 

visitation schedule. I was honored to attend the Barriere Lions dinner 

meeting with 1st VDG Jennifer Edgar and Debbie Bostock. What a great 

bunch! Dinner was fantastic, Thanks Barriere Lions! I cant wait to come 

back.
