FROM MD1 GLT CHAIR:

This is my first column as the Multiple 1, state global leadership chairperson, alias State GLT. Though I am known to many who peruse this magazine, there are those poor souls who have never had the pleasure to meet me.

I have been a Lion since 1984. I have held every club office except club treasurer. I have twice served as district governor from District 1-CS. Several times I have served as the district’s cabinet secretarytreasurer. I have chaired many committees, club-wise, district-wise, and state-wise. In the past I have served as state chair for

membership and for the Lions of Illinois, Inc.’s state forum. I have been a Lions of Illinois Foundation trustee for a total of eight years. At LIF I chaired many different committees.

I have served as president of the Red Bud Lions Club and the Chester Lions Club. I served on the board of directors for the Waterloo Lions Club. All three clubs are located along Illinois Route 3.

Thus, I became known as the Route 3 Nomad. These moves all came about because of my wife and my places of employment.

I am a Melvin Jones Fellow and a Lions of Illinois Foundation Fellow.

Too, I am an LIF sustaining supporter.

I have many awards and certificates, but they really do not speak as to my capabilities of how I will chair this program. Currently I am busy learning my new job and at the same time preparing for the Regional Lions Leadership Institute.

However, I am blessed to have a

3 The Illinois Lion & Leo

great governor liaison, DG Gail Anton, and a great council chairperson, PCC/PDG John Barsanti.

Am I worried about making a faux pas? Yes. But Lion Jama Wahl told me not to worry about any mistakes.

She left me two envelopes in the event I boo-boo. I have already opened the envelopes to see what she wrote. In her first envelope she wrote, “Blame it all on me.” I thought, “How nice. I can blame Lion Jama for my faux pas.” I then tore open the second envelope and she had written, “Prepare two envelopes.”

marriage. Ann and I have four grandchildren and two stepgrandchildren.

I have been a department store manager, a printing plant worker, a city police officer, a deputy sheriff, a chief of security and investigations at a maximum secure setting, I have been a state investigator, a business administrator at a mental health facility, and I have been a private eye. I am currently the chairperson of my church’s stewardship committee, and I have served as an elder of my church. Finally, I am a writer. I wrote a weekly newspaper column for about 35 years, several magazine articles, and a few security/police training programs.

As to my personal life, I have been married to Lion Ann for 39 years.

But that is enough about me. What Ann is a retired food scientist. We about you? are bicyclists. There are no children to this marriage, but I have an adult PDG Larry McGuire daughter and son from a previous larry.mcguire4@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Helping Hands Through LCIF “Lions Friends and Neighbors” who have contributed to make our Foundation grow. Our latest and greatest effort has been the Campaign 100: LCIF Empowering Service.

I grew up on a small family farm during the 1950’s. My dad did not have a benefit package. If things went wrong he had to fix it or finance fixing it. But thank God, we had friends and neighbors. It was not unusual for a farmer who had hit on hard times, to find his fields full of tractors, combines and all sort of equipment from his neighbors planting or harvesting the crop.

Those helping hands were responsible for providing the income for the year.

Such compassionate assistance continues today in another form through Lions Clubs International Foundation. People all around the world are helped by the

This memory from the past came up as this article is being prepared. Folks in Illinois, Multiple District 1, have been impacted by tornadoes. Because of the deadline, I do not know what sort of assistance from Lions will take place, but more than likely LCIF will be present in some form. That means, so will you, the Lions of Illinois.

If you find you or your club can share some funds, now is a good time to send a donation to help.

Simply get in touch with lionsclubs.org/en/donate. You can also TEXT LCIF 243-725.

Obituary for Mary J Truitt Mary J. Truitt, 87, of Vandalia, IL passed away at 7:12 PM, Friday,

A Memorial Service was held at 11:00 AM, Saturday, June 26, 2021, at the First Presbyterian Church, Vandalia with Pastor Kurt Simon officiating. A Private Committal Service followed in Fairlawn Cemetery, Vandalia. Visitation held prior to the service from 10:00-11:00 AM, Saturday at the church. In lieu

of flowers, memorial donations may me made to the National Road Interpretive Center or to the Historical Museum.

Online condolences can be expressed at www.hohltandfilefh.com.

Mary J. Truitt was born on September 25, 1933, in Edwardsville, IL, the daughter of Harry and Gladys (Daech) Truitt.

After graduating from Vandalia Community Schools, Mary attended Southern Illinois University Carbondale where she obtained a teaching degree. With that degree, she was offered several teachings contracts: accepting one in Milwaukee, WI. Mary eventually retired from Milwaukee Public Schools after 35 years of employment. She then moved back to her hometown of Vandalia to care for her elderly mother.

After her mother’s passing, Mary went on to work for Kaskaskia College where she taught Child Development. She also became employed by Lake Land College working at the Vandalia Correctional Center teaching Child Development, Family Relations,

Adult Living, Nutrition, and Sociology. Her part time relation with Lake Land College lasted for 11 years.

While most choose to relax after retirement, Mary chose to be involved in numerous organizations and activities for the betterment of women’s lives and the community in which she lived. First, joining the Soroptomist International of Vandalia in the fall of 1990 and serving as their president from 1996-1998.

Though a lot of Mary’s time was occupied through teaching, she still found the time to volunteer anywhere she could. She was asked to join the City’s Tourism Council.

Then came volunteering at the Fayette County Museum. After that, the State of Illinois offered new programs and in 1997 she was appointed by the city council to represent Vandalia for two of those programs that eventually became known as Looking for Lincoln and the National Road Association of Illinois. She served as President of the National Road Association three different times and was President as

they developed the National Road Interpretive Center here in Vandalia.

Mary loved visitors at the Interpretive Center. She welcomed them from all over the US. School groups were among her favorites.

She could entertain them for hours with stories about the Road.

Mary was also involved in the formation of the Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area Program, which involves the road signs along the interstate. She served on the Steering Committee since its inception. At some point along the way, Mary decided to join the Vandalia Woman’s Club; where she served at both, the local level, and the district level. Serving as the District President for three terms and on the State Board of the Illinois Federation of Women’s Club for 20 years. In addition to her many positions, Mary served on the Vandalia Mural Committee and was a member of the Red Hat Society.

Mary still volunteered her time at the Museum, the National Road Interpretive Center, and served on the Board on the National Road Association of Illinois.

Growing up, Mary learned a lot about Lionism; her father was very active in the Lion’s Club. As the years passed, she became extremely interested in Lionism herself. In 1988 the Supreme Court declared that service organizations be open to both genders, so upon her homecoming she was asked to be the first woman member of the Vandalia Lions Club. She served in many ways at the local level; being President twice and writing the local newsletter. She served as District Governor in 2004-2005 and most recently served as the Global Leadership Team chair. Mary served for several years on the Board of the Lions of Illinois Foundation.

Among her many accomplishments, Mary has been named as an Outstanding Woman of Illinois, the Woman of Distinction in Human Relations from the Soroptimists, Lions Outstanding Member, and Foundation Fellow from the Lions of Illinois Foundation. She has received the Vandalia Chamber of Commerce Abe Award, the Illinois Office of Tourism Lincoln Award, the International President’s Leadership Award and five certificates of

appreciation. At the local level, she received a Foundation Fellow and received recognition as the Grand Marshall of the Halloween Parade.

Mary was forever proud and appreciative to be a Soroptomist.

nephews, John Truitt, Mike Truitt, Jason Truitt, Edward Truitt, and Andy Truitt; nieces, Lauren Truitt Wagner, and Cheryl Truitt Dorris; and several great nieces and great nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Dr. Bill Truitt, and John Truitt.

She is survived by her sisters-in-law, Marilyn Truitt of Vandalia and Donna Truitt of Kansas City, MO; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
