AN UPDATE FROM YOUR DISTRICT GOVERNOR
Hello Lions
Thank you Lions for coming to “Roots of Service, Branches of Impact Convention
in February and supporting our District as we celebrated our success. We were
able to raise money for LCIF, Envision, Leaderdog, Ronald McDonald Family
Room and The MSU. Thank you for all of the many donations that were made! We
were entertained by Drum Utah and everyone thoroughly enjoyed Nels Anderson
and talent in leading us with his many instruments. A special “Thank you” to our
Council Chair Betty Simpson for providing a little EXTRA entertainment also!
“ID Ski” taught us about the importance of looking for Speciality Clubs and the
benefit of starting them. We all really enjoyed him and his wife D.G. Janis.
I want to touch a little on a couple of key things for this next month.
Service reporting is vital to our Organization. We are only having 50% of our
Clubs that are reporting their service. Our First Vice District Governor Paula
Turner and our GST Sue kenny are going to be reaching out to Clubs to ensure all
Service activities are being reported. They will help you and train you how to do
this. Its pretty simple and they are happy to help. For the Clubs that are reporting,
Please get all your activities in the portal. As I look at a few clubs, I think they are
missing several activities that should be in there. Lets work together to get those
in the portal.

A word from our District GovernorThis year started off with a bang! I barely had time to catch my breath after PDG Lion Brookepulled the ribbon on my nametag during the International Convention in Australia beforeheading to Chicago for the Mission 1.5 Summit. At the same time, many of our District clubswere doing vision, hearing and diabetes screenings at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. I held myfirst cabinet meeting in August and coupled it with zone chair training. Lion Neal Jorgensenhas held two Zone Meetings and the other Zone Chairs are busy visiting clubs. First ViceDistrict Governor, Paula Turner and I have been all over the district, training Presidents andSecretaries as we go. Oh my gosh, our clubs are so busy! I have been to several greatfundraisers, and projects throughout the district recently and I am excited to see so manyclubs active and making a difference in our communities. If you haven’t seen me yet, look forme to do a club visit with you in the near future. Lion Irene Torgesen (our GlobalMembership Coordinator) has been working tirelessly with me to get several Leo clubsgoing in our District. I have been holding monthly contests for various initiatives includingmembership growth, service, and the upcoming one in December focusing on Lionsmarketing. Look for others to come up throughout the year! I have also been working hardto nail down the details of our Midwinter Convention coming up in February of 2025. I havesome great ideas in mind, so plan on joining me for a fun and informational convention. Inclosing, please remember I am here to help. If there is anything I can do for you, please don’thesitate to contact me! - District Governor, Lion Lisa Allen
