October 2025

The skies are gray, the temperatures are falling, and the leaves are carpeting the ground. As the fourth month of the Lions year draws to a close, many of us are beginning to look ahead to the holiday season. Local stores have already begun to showcase their holiday displays, reminding us that the end of the year is fast approaching. We have much to celebrate—but also much yet to accomplish.

Fall Rally is just around the corner! If you haven’t registered yet, please do so right away to guarantee your room and meals. Nominations for District offices will be made during the Rally, so come and see who is stepping up to lead our future. Join Lions from across the state in Grand Island, November 7–9, for a weekend filled with fun, fellowship, and inspiration.

Looking further ahead, Midwinter Convention may still seem distant, but planning and preparation are already in full swing behind the scenes. Please reserve the first weekend in March 2026 for the District N and O Midwinter Conventions. Elections for next year’s leadership positions will take place then—an important step in shaping our continued success.

Club visits are progressing well, with the majority completed and only a few left to schedule. Lions across District 38-N have been hard at work serving their communities in meaningful ways. Remember—report your service! Every project, no matter how large or small, deserves to be recognized. Sharing your club’s efforts not only celebrates your work but also inspires others to serve in new and creative ways. If you experience any challenges with service reporting, please don’t hesitate to reach out for help—support is available and ready.

Together, let’s finish the fall season strong—serving with purpose, connecting with one another, and continuing to make a difference in the communities we love.

Yours in service,

John Braisted
District Governor, 38 N
