Getting Going

My theme for the past year was ‘When the going gets tough, the tough get going.’ Well, now it is my time to really get going. I am now your Immediate Past District Governor!

Lion Jayne and I wish to thank all of the clubs we visited for your wonderful hospitality. It was a great experience for both of us to meet the many dedicated members throughout our district and to learn about all of the important community service projects being operated by the clubs in our district.

I offer a sincere thanks to my cabinet officers, district committee chairs, region chairs, zone chairs and club presidents for your work and support this year. A special thank you is given to PDG Diane Wilkerson for all of her advice, support and work this year.

We have completed a good year: Added new members, Increased charitable donations, Developed future leaders, Conducted a successful District Convention and Had Some Fun. And we ended the year by participating in the election of PID Bob Corlew as our association’s Second International Vice President.

I now ask all Lions in East Tennessee District 12-N to get going and to fully support District Governor Ed Gibbons and District First Lady Theresa Gibbons as they take on the challenge of Strengthening the Pride.
