Fellow D1 Lions,
It is hard for me to believe but this is the last article I will be writing to you as your District Governor. It has been an incredible journey the last three years, first as a vice district governor and now as DG. I have met many fantastic Lions along the way. I have had so many experiences that I would not have had if I had not accepted the challenge of being a District Governor. I encourage each of you to consider stepping up and taking the challenge of being a leader! Believe me, it is worth it.
Speaking of leadership, we will be offering our Officer Workshops the beginning of June. On June 2nd we will be in DeForest at Christ Lutheran Church. June 4th we will be in Platteville at St. Mary's Catholic Church. June 5th will find us in Albany at the Albany Lions building and then on Saturday morning June 7th we will be at Lake Edge Church in Monona. We have a few new sessions planned so watch your email and sign up for one of these exciting workshops!
We had an incredible District convention this year. We had several fantastic break out sessions, inspirational and motivational speakers, good food and fun times. I want to thank the convention committee for all that they did. You all were great and I know that as hard as it was, you made me look good. THANK YOU!
I had set several goals this year. Some we attained and some we are still working on. We increased our Peace Poster participation, we added four new Zone Chairs, we trained all of our zone chairs. We restarted the UW Madison Campus Club (mainly thanks to PDG Bob Falivino), we started our District wide day of service, we added four new guiding Lions
And we are working on starting two new clubs in our district.
I am very pleased about all of these goals but what I am most happy about is the incredible Team I got to work with this year! I would be remiss if I did not say thank you to everyone Who assisted me along the way. The Vice district governors for all of their support, my Cabinet secretary and cabinet treasurer, the GAT team, the Zone Chairs and all of the cabinet Members and committee chairs. Thank you, we could not have done it with out you!
Last but certainly not least, I ask that all of you give your support to next years leadership. I can assure you that we are in good hands going forward. DGE Jim Klubertanz, FVDGE Tony Sobczek and SVDGE Adam Crowson are all extremely qualified and dedicated Lions Who will lead us into next year and beyond with true Lions spirit.
Again, THANK YOU Lions for allowing me to be your District Governor!
Yours in Lionism,
DG Ron Wright
