December, 2024

A word from our District GovernorThis year started off with a bang! I barely had time to catch my breath after PDG Lion Brookepulled the ribbon on my nametag during the International Convention in Australia beforeheading to Chicago for the Mission 1.5 Summit. At the same time, many of our District clubswere doing vision, hearing and diabetes screenings at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. I held myfirst cabinet meeting in August and coupled it with zone chair training. Lion Neal Jorgensenhas held two Zone Meetings and the other Zone Chairs are busy visiting clubs. First ViceDistrict Governor, Paula Turner and I have been all over the district, training Presidents andSecretaries as we go. Oh my gosh, our clubs are so busy! I have been to several greatfundraisers, and projects throughout the district recently and I am excited to see so manyclubs active and making a difference in our communities. If you haven’t seen me yet, look forme to do a club visit with you in the near future. Lion Irene Torgesen (our GlobalMembership Coordinator) has been working tirelessly with me to get several Leo clubsgoing in our District. I have been holding monthly contests for various initiatives includingmembership growth, service, and the upcoming one in December focusing on Lionsmarketing. Look for others to come up throughout the year! I have also been working hardto nail down the details of our Midwinter Convention coming up in February of 2025. I havesome great ideas in mind, so plan on joining me for a fun and informational convention. Inclosing, please remember I am here to help. If there is anything I can do for you, please don’thesitate to contact me! - District Governor, Lion Lisa Allen

Spring Greetings, fellow MD 39 Lions!
 
You will find helpful MD39 convention information in this quarterly issue of our newsletter. This convention information will also be emailed by our MD secretary to all MD club Presidents and secretaries later this week. Please, share the information with all your club members. 
Here are some helpful convention tips:
 
• Early Registration Deadline- April 14 
     Final Guaranteed Registration Deadline-April 17
• Convention Service Projects- We will feature two, hands-on service activities during the convention. Any Lions/Clubs bringing a new, standard-size pillow and pillowcase will be able to write a positive message on the inside edge of the pillowcase with a Sharpie which will be supplied. (Message example- Wishing you pleasant dreams.) Secondly, we will be putting together hygiene kits at the convention. A list of suggested travel-size items for the kits is included in this newsletter. 
• Lions/clubs are also welcome to bring/donate any of the additional, shelter “Wish List” items listed in the Service Project article. Both the hands-on project items and Wish List items will be divided between 39E and 39W for distribution. Please, email PCC Joyce Saunders at bobjoy17@msn.com to let her know what you or your club will be bringing. Thank you! “We Serve”
