Dates to Remember:
From MD1 Council Chair: Greetings MD1 Lions! It doesn’t seem possible that a year has practically flown by. Very shortly, we will meet in Las Vegas for another amazing International Convention. I would like to give a huge shout out to this year’s amazing Council of Governors! What a wonderful year I have had with this diverse group of District Governors. From day one they got down to business and accomplished so much. We can all be proud of the unity and camaraderie this Council brought back to our Multiple District. Thank you for making my year, as your Council Chair, a truly delightful one! It was a privilege to work with each one of you. What a great State Convention in Springfield with our Vice President Elect, Yung-Yul Choi and his lovely wife, Sueng Bok. Not to mention the wedding of the century. We will never forget our fine actors and their original costumes. Yay, Governors! Thank you, Lion Sharon for the countless hours you volunteer to make our convention a success. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who have supported me during this year. I want you to know I how very much appreciate each and every one of you! A special “thank you” to SST Lion Michele…until you work with her side-by-side, one has no idea how much she does for our Multiple District. She is there for MD-1 whenever and for whatever we need. I wish the incoming Council of Governors a super year filled with fellowship and harmony. I have become friends with many of you and know you will do great things for MD-1. I know your Council Chair elect will go to great lengths with you to help ensure a successful year…Good Luck, Lion Daniel! 2

It’s Almost Over! We are stepping into the final month of current Lionistic Year 2017-2018. So far, the results are both ways – some district are minus in membership and some are plus. It is nice to hear that so far District 1A chartered two new clubs. Adding new club has been become a trend in District 1A due to the challenging work of PID Dan O’Reilly and his team. Kudos to them. If we had Lion Dan O’Reillys in every district we would have gained at least twenty new clubs! We had a great State Convention in the Month of May. Even though the attendee’s numbers did not encourage the efforts, those who attended this event had wonderful time with – especially Friday Night Folly’s and our II International President JungYul Choi. District Governor Elects had a wonderful time as they were shining at the dais with their white dinner jackets and partners in service with colorful banquet dresses. I had an interview with these DGE’s for the position of Editor, MD1 State Monthly e-Magazine
