Governor's Corner

Fellow Lions,

And we're off to another year of Lionism! May we reflect on successes of the last Lion Year to help inspire our clubs and community to continue our message of service this year. I wish you all an amazing year in supporting Lions Causes and supporting local community efforts...and I will see you very soon with the yearly message of service.

I'd like to thank the 110+ Lions who came out to our June Training Sessions. As you will see in GLT Lead Tim Ganske's report, this fantastic turnout led to many Lions taking advantage of the Hybrid schedule to brush up on or learn about several sessions. Any Lion unable to attend can find on-line materials to complete the trainings as well.

We are days away from the Change of Banner in Myersville. I'm looking forward to Immediate Past District Governor Nadja Muchow review her successful year and club awards and to personally give a brief statement. I hope to see everyone there. It will also be that night where clubs may pick up their roster books and will find flyers for the 1st Cabinet Meeting, a Leader Dog Trip and the first "save the date" for the 22W October Social. I would like to thank my Cabinet who met via zoom on June 29th for our Send Off Meeting.

You will also find within in the next weekly update the flyer for the 1st Cabinet Meeting on August 19 to be held at the LaVale Fire Department. Thanks to Region Chair Rob Reckart, Zone Chair John Fetchero and Past District Governor Charlie Croft Jr. for helping to organize our meeting. It will be great to see everyone including all the new Cabinet Members and hear the reports of each club for this Lion year's beginning.

I would also like to introduce you to my District Governor Website that is also found with the District 22W site. Thanks in advance to Thurmont Lion Maxine Troxell for her help in maintaining the District 22W website this year. Within my site, you will be able to find Membership, Leadership and Service Resources and Officer Trainings, my calendar, Cabinet and Zone Meeting Information, Lion Causes Websites and more. I hope this serves as a quick resource to find materials you may need throughout the year.

Lastly, you can find the yearly video "The Promise of Tomorrow" at the following link introducing new leadership and recognizing longtime Lions. The video can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jkNLHHdM2A . We will also be updating the "Lions with Military Service Video" in October ahead of Veterans Day, our "Recognition Video" in the spring and hearing this fall from representatives in the remaining 20 Lions Clubs to be part of our "Service Zoom Series." Past videos can be found here https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS2QCbfTrQuMqrI5_DlpWRUEHPDo-l-VsrJRK1AJNDo6y3OUelEXEx_xGDfamzRIO0mlZYI2Q2AC_Do/pub

God Bless America!
