So why do I like going to the USA/Canada Forum, besides the "fun" time traveling and the keynotes? It's the Lions! Each lunch or dinner you are seated by colors, so it's doubtful that you'll be sitting with people you know. Two lunches+2 dinners with tables set for 10-that's the opportunity to spend a couple of hours with 36 Lions. Time to attend 7 seminars, seated at tables with at least 8 others-that's 49 Lions. You have the opportunity to meet 85 Lions, give or take, from all over the USA and Canada. Alaska, California, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Texas, Wyoming, Utah, Hawaii, New Mexico-just some of the places Lions were from that I had a chance to talk to. And learn from From a shooting range in Utah (reported by the lone participant from that state), to owning and running an ambulance service in Connecticut, Lions have some amazing projects! And it seems all the clubs have similar projects-vision testing, picking up litter,
Nice blog! Check out the new Lions Clubs International blog if you have a chance. It's at: http://lionsclubsorg.wordpress.com/
