OUR NEW DISTRICT 22-W LIONS<br />
Welcome from all of us in District 22W!<br />
It is a bittersweet moment for many of us who are<br />
finishing our year of service in different capacities<br />
in the Cabinet, and throughout our great District.<br />
That, fellow <strong>Lions</strong>, is what Lionism is all about;<br />
embracing new opportunities to serve our<br />
communities directly and the world indirectly, by<br />
accepting new and challenging positions in the<br />
Cabinet, the District and our clubs, as we are<br />
invited to do so by our new leaders. We hope that<br />
when your turn comes to serve you will accept the<br />
challenge and move forward in Lionism.<br />
Our <strong>district</strong> has welcomed (178) new <strong>Lions</strong> since<br />
<strong>July</strong> 2011. Remember that even though our clubs<br />
have Membership Chairs, as our wise PDG Marion<br />
Carmack always reminds us, “Each club member<br />
is a Membership Chair” and it’s up to us to invite<br />
our friends and neighbors to our meetings, so that<br />
many more can experience what being a Lion is all<br />
about. Offer your hands in service every<br />
opportunity that you can.<br />

It’s been an honor and a pleasure to welcome so<br />
many <strong>Lions</strong> from my little corner of the newsletter,<br />
and to say a few words to each one of you every<br />
month on behalf of our District Governor.<br />
Check out your upcoming Roster Book. It’s<br />
informative, easy to carry, and you’ll find all of us<br />
there at your service.<br />
Yours in Lionism and Service,<br />
