Lions, Lionesses & Leos,
Lions, Lionesses, and Leos of District 14-K, thank you for your support;
and I am honored to serve as your District Governor for the Lions
years 2011-2012. Also, you deserve a big thank you for electing Lion
Linwood Gehris as 1st Vice District Governor and Lion Dennis Butz as 2nd
Vice District Governor. With your help, we are looking forward to a year of
having fun and hope that we are able to rekindle that feeling inside each
Lion they had the day they became a Lion. As a Lion for fourteen years, I
have always been proud to associate myself with the dedicated group of
individuals joined in the common cause “to serve” those less fortunate.
The 2011-2012 International President Wing-Kum Tam’s theme is “I
BELIEVE”. His goals are to Believe in Service, Believe in Club Members,
