It's now the beginning of our Lions year, 2010-2011! Our District Governor, Pat Brown, is "down under" wearing his white jacket and being inducted as District 39W's DG. I couldn't talk him into taking a laptop, so we'll have to wait for his return this weekend to see the photos and hear the stories. (I'll try to convince him to write on this blog, so check back!) When DG Pat was campaigning for this position, the two things he emphasized to me were education and training for Lions and better communication. I think since then he's probably found many more things he'd like to do, see, or change in the coming year, but for now, my topic is communication. As the new Communications Chair (a pretty broad assignment) my job is to help District Governor Pat, the clubs, and all the members improve our lines of communication. Last year with District Governor Shirley, we launched the new website, adding more pages and information throughout the year.
