12 N Lions,

I just returned from the State Convention in Memphis and wow – what a great weekend of fun, fellowship, and work! I want to thank District 12 L’s Governor, Glen Mullins, for putting on an incredible convention. The facility was five-star, and so was the food! His committee gave the Lions of Tennessee a flawless weekend, and I’m so thankful for that.

Past International President Wayne Madden of Indiana was our guest speaker. His wife Linda accompanied him, and they were a delight to be around. The highlight of the entire weekend for me was be there to see 1st Vice District Governor Elect Millie Burke be presented an International President’s Leadership Medal – the third highest award in Lionism! I nominated her for the award months ago, and was proud to help in honoring such a dedicated Lion. Her leadership and selflessness have been keys in our district’s success this year.

As we begin to transition to District Governor-Elect Carol McDonald taking this office, I encourage you to reach out to her and offer support. She still has a few District positions to fill, and could use some help! Additionally, please feel free to reach out to me and let me celebrate your club’s end of year awards with you. Getting to see our hardworking Lions recognized for their service is the best part of this job!

Yours in Service,

-Brandon
