District 4-A2 LionsHere we are at the beginning of an awesome Lion’s Year 2019-2020, there are so many events, project and meetings already scheduled for us, to be productive with, while having fun and fellowship with our District Lions.
Here are a couple things coming our way. Our Installation of Cabinet Officers, August 9, 2019 followed by our 1st District Business meeting, August 10. There are several things planned to get us started this year, to enhance our Membership, Community Service and Leadership.
At the 1st District Business Meeting, we had a new Leadership Training, ” You can’t use the tools that you do not have” an interesting presentation by District GLT Lion Roland Reina.
Also, this year we would like to see the District Clubs and Members to come together for a District Wide Community Service Project for Diabetes Awareness. Our District Diabetes Chair PDG Tony Reyes St, will be presenting information at our District Business Meeting.
Another Project of Service we have been working on since the fire in Erskine 2016, with a Erskine Home Builders Expo. Please coordinate with the District and have your Club help us out to enhance this effort for those with homes. For information Contact either Governor, 1st VDG or 2nd VDG.
So you can see we have plans for the year and only getting started, if you have an idea for a Community Service let us know, just come to us with a plan for it.
Hope to see you as I do my Club Visitations, at our Zone and Region Quarterly Meeting and at our District Business Meetings.
Yours in Service,
Van VanLandingham
District 4-A2 Governor

Lions & Citizens…We Need This!
Have you hugged a Lion lately? Have you hugged a family member lately? Have you hugged a new associate or an old acquaintance lately? Have you hugged an employee of a business where you trade lately? Have you hugged a Democrat or a Republican or an Independent lately? Have you hugged your kids lately? Have you hugged your parents lately? Have you hugged your dog or your cat or any other faithful pet that you have lately?
What does a hug mean? A HUG is the act of putting your arms around someone or something as a way of showing love or friendship!
In this day of turmoil and dissension, wouldn’t it be wonderful if respect, courtesy, civility and lawfulness was the norm and each of us could be respected for how we feel when we express ourselves and that each of us could respect others with a different point of view when they express themselves. I think so. (ed)
