CC Betty Simpson
Dear Multiple District 39 Lions, As my term as 2024-2025, MD39 Council Chair, draws to a close, I would like to thank you for your support this year. It truly was a blessing to part of such an amazing MD39 team! Thank you, to the amazing Lions who served on the 2024-2025, MD39 Council team as well as the MD39 Convention committee team. Thank you, to each club and Lion in our Multiple District! Everyone exemplified the Lions motto “We Serve.” Congratulations, to our 2025-2026, MD39 officers and Council members whose terms begin on July 1, 2025. I know you will continue to do wonderful things for our Multiple District. This will be the final issue of our Multiple District 39 quarterly newsletter. Be sure to check out the MD39 Convention photo collage in this issue. We had a large turnout this year at the MD39 Convention, completed two hands-on service activities along with our Leos, had fun at the Paint ‘n Sip, and enjoyed making new friendships & seeing Lion friends. PID Ron Keller and wife, SVDG-Elect Kitty (Ohio), were delightful, personable, International guests. As we look ahead to the next Lion year, please note that you will be able to read your district newsletters for any MD39 news/updates. With my heartfelt appreciation for all the special memories, Lion Council Chair, Betty (Simpson) MD39 2024-2025

June 2025 District 39W Newsletter

DG John Hand - "Opening New Doors"
It is hard to believe my year serving at 39W District Governor is quickly coming to an
end. Spending time with most of the clubs in the district has been the most rewarding
experience—thank you all who have welcomed members of the cabinet and me into your
clubs! I also want to thank all of the 175+ NEW Lions who have joined our ranks this year—we are
thankful for your spirit, energy and new ideas! 

I would like to ask two final favors of our clubs.
FIRST, will all officers ensure your club rosters are updated this month and you record your
club service activities.
SECOND, and more importantly, please consider stepping into your club, district or multi-district leadership. Lions International needs you and our communities need you.
Incoming DGE, Peggy Hess, also needs all of the support we can muster. Let’s help Peggy and her cabinet make 2025-
2026 a fantastic year for District 39W.
Thank you, John.
