Message from the District Governor Paul

Fellow Lions in District 26-M2,

It is the beginning of the calendar year and the start of the District Conventions! This year it is the last one of the multiple district conventions. It will be April 5, 6, & 7th at the DoubleTree in Westport, St. Louis. We are going to have a wonderful time this year for there will be a band Friday night at Hospitality, we will hear from our clubs Saturday morning (Club Presidents get ready for it is your time to shine!) and great community events in the afternoon. We will meet up on Sunday for breakfast and honor our members. Do not forget there will be the opportunity to get officer training on Friday
before the hospitality and Sunday afternoon! Make sure you get your room booked before March 14, 2024!!! Get more information here: https://www.lions26m2.org/convention.html


As you might know, we have a 2nd Vice District Governor this year. Lion Wallace “Wally” Brumfield of House Springs Lions club has been selected to fulfill the rest of the year as
2nd VDG for 2023-2024 in our district MD26-M2. Lion Wally will do an excellent job and if you see him, congratulate him on this achievement. Help Needed: we are looking for a
2nd Vice District Governor for Lions year 2024-2025 and if you are interested, please let us know.

I continue to look forward to serving with you in this great district MD26-M2 and seeing what we can do to “Be More, Do More and Serve More!” You know that I am “Excited to Serve!” this year!!! Let’s keep the momentum going!


Lion Paul Carr
District Governor



 

 

Message from 1st Vice District Governor Michelle

Greetings Lions!

We are in the second half of Our Lion’s Year. The indoor FUNdraisers have been going strong. Trivia, Poker, Pancake breakfasts, Bingo’s, and so much more. FUNdraisers help
us to donate to the great causes that we support. We invite friends & family to support these events, but have you ever thought about inviting them to be part of the fun of
serving other people? We all need to give it a try sometime, because they might just like it!! We all have passions, just waiting to be ignited!

I’ve been working through my training virtually with Lions International and will be attending training at the end of this month in St. Charles, Illinois, with the 1st Vice District Governors from Missouri and around the World. We will get to tour Lions International Headquarters and meet people from the different departments that will help guide us with answers to any questions that arise during Our District Governor year.

District Convention will be happening soon April 5th – 7th. Please try to join us this year, as Lion Paul has lots of things planned. There is a service project for Nursing Homes, and All Lions Training on Friday before Hospitality, and on Sunday following the Memorial Service and final convention business. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, please attend and vote for Michelle (Me) to be Your District Governor for 2024-2025 Lions
year!

"Let the beauty of what you love be what you do."

Lion Michelle Foster
1st Vice District Governor
