“Shining our light on service together”

This is a new era for Lions in Western Australia. I would like to say what a privilege it is for me to be leading our Super District into the future. We have worked together on many projects and foundations and many of us have made good friends in both districts through working together. Between us we have a multitude of leadership talent to be called upon if required for any advice or assistance or just someone to bounce an idea off. Please make use of them.
My theme for the year is “Shining our light on service together”.
In creating my pin, I have included my passion for operating room nursing into how I see us serving our communities by shining our light on service as the surgeon needs a strong light to perform surgery. We need to shine that same light on our service projects lighting them up for all to see. Be proud of what we do and shout it out to the world while holding the vulnerable in our caring hands.
We need to come out from under the bushel and shine our spotlight on the world as Lions and Lions International as an organisation.
Our district convention is in Augusta and will be hosted by the Lions Club of Leeuwin. As most of you will know the most well-known feature in the area is the Leeuwin Lighthouse. In keeping with the shining light theme, we named the convention theme as “Shining our Light on Leadership”. Strong leadership attracts good members who will inspire us to do great service projects. More on that closer to the convention.
We have a strong leadership team to assist wherever possible in identifying and upskilling lions.
The Global Leadership team is here to assist clubs with there leadership from training to doing club and community surveys.
The Global Membership Team can assist with membership drives and giving you tips to start the Lions conversation.
The Global Service Team will assist you get your service projects off the ground and along with that don’t forget the LCIF chairperson who is here to assist clubs with getting funds for that project that seems just a bit out of your clubs’ reach.
Each and every person on the district cabinet is here to assist and motivate you and your clubs to achieve your best year ever, please make use of them they want to feel useful.
I would like to wish you all well for the year ahead and I hope you all achieve your goals you have set for your year and remember to shine your light on service.
