We all got the email from International President Joe Preston, but in case you didn't read it.... here's what it said:
It is truly an honor to serve as your new
international president of Lions Clubs International. With my 40 years of
service as a Lion, I know that we are much more than volunteers. We're an
international family working together to strengthen our communities and the
clubs we love.
Being a Lion has meant so much to me, but
I wouldn't be in the position to serve this great association if someone hadn't
asked me to become a Lion.
I
was just a 21-year-old starting a career when a local businessman invited me to
lunch. He didn't tell me where we were going, but he took me to a lunch hosted
by my local Lions club. It was such a great experience, and the club invited me
back to the next meeting...and the meeting after that. And before long, I was a
Lion.
As Lions, it's our mission to serve, but
it's also our duty to ask new members to join our clubs. I hope you will join
me in strengthening our membership and our service throughout the year.
Together, we can strengthen the pride!
Together in service,
Joe Preston
