Message from the District Governor Wally

Fellow Lions,

I generally don’t like to talk about the past because there is so much coming to us in the future, but the Mid Winter Form that was just held in Jefferson City was
well worth the time and money. Good information was dispersed and hopefully absorbed. To those that planned and put this program on, many thanks.

Club Presidents, please check with you club Secretary and make sure your club is up to date with dues. If not in good standing, your club will not be able to vote at
the District or state convention. Reminder, LCI will only send electronic dues notices. No paper notice will be sent.

Remember, pulling together will get us through the deepest snow and mud. The end of this Lion’s year is fast approaching with attending meetings and planning
for the upcoming Lion’s year. Do not forget our fellow Lions that are Ill or have recently pasted. Keep them in your hearts and prayers.

One World---One People----We Serve

Message from 1st Vice District Governor - Kelly Rackovan

Hello Fellow Lions,

There was such a nice turnout at this year's 2026 Convention, and it was wonderful to see so many of you there. Thank you for all that attended. Great reports,
fellowship and camaraderie made the event a pleasure to attend.

I would like to thank everyone for entrusting me in this great opportunity to be your District Governor Elect. Thank you for supporting me. I will not let you down.

Coming up April/May dates are being set for training sessions for Club Presidents, Vice Presidents, Secretary's, Treasurers, Zone Chairs and Club Administrators. Information will be sent out to Club Presidents and Secretary's as soon as the dates are confirmed.

The end of this lionistic year is fast approaching. So, let's continue to have successful events and support Governor Wally's vision for One World, One People,
We Serve.

To make a difference, we, as Lions, have to BEE the Difference!!



Lion Kelly Rackovan,
District Governor - Elect

 

Message from 2nd Vice District Governor - Phil

Fellow Lions,

Another convention has passed and we have several months to go before the year ends. Please keep up the great work you are all doing. It was great to see so many banners at the hospitality night.

Thank you all for your continued support making me the 1VDGE for next year. Always remember our mission to Serve and remember that reporting service helps us all in the long run. Thank you all for your hard work and I hope to see everyone at the upcoming state convention in St. Joseph or in June at the District Picnic.
