Message from VDG Jason Long

 Fellow Lions,
 
August is upon us, and before we know it, we will be winding down our Summer activities. Remember that service projects and fundraisers are excellent opportunities to recruit new Lions. It never hurts to always have a few membership applications and brochures on hand at these events.

Hopefully everyone is getting the hang of service reporting on MyLion. If you are having difficulty, you can contact District Administrator PDG Gloria Schmalz or let a member of the Governor’s Team know that you need help. Additional training seminars can be scheduled if there is a need in a particular zone or region.

The USA/Canada Lions Leadership Forum is coming up September 19-21 in Spokane, Washington. The deadline for hotel reservations is August 15. This event is open to all Lions and is an excellent educational resource.

Also upcoming is the Advanced Lions Leadership Institute (ALLI). The ALLI will be held November 9-11 in Chicago. The Institute is for all Lions who have served as Club President but have not yet reached the level of First Vice District Governor and who are interested in attaining skills to become a Lion Leader. The application deadline is August 26, so please let DG George, District GLC PDG Ed Gursky, or a member of the Governor’s Team know that you are interested as soon as possible so that you have time to complete and return the application.

I hope to see you all at the Cabinet Meeting and Banner Exchange on August 18.
        
Yours in Service,
1^st VDG Jason Long

Had a great time with time with DG George on his first visit to the Dunbar club picnic.  The food was great and I had a great time.

Just attended my first state council meeting in Harrisburg, PA. Learned a lot.

God Bless the Lions.
Karl Jackson 2nd VDG
