Message from Governor Pat Duda: Two more weeks and we will be at the Multiple District 1 State Convention at the President Abraham Lincoln Hotel in Springfield from May 18th to 20th. Hurry up and register as the deadline approaches fast. May 4 is the last date to register. I would like to see a good representation of District 1A Lions to this convention. Second International President Jung Yul Choi will be the guest for State Convention. Let us show him the strength and fellowship of Multiple District 1 where all this started 101 years ago.
We are still little behind in reaching my membership goal for this year. I am pretty sure that my lions clubs in District 1A will help me to reach this goal in another two months. Bring new, energetic and young members as we step into 101st year in Lionism. This years fun filled International Convention will be in Las Vegas – as many people say – heaven on earth. As most of the activities at one place – MGM, it will be very convenient to all of us to take part. There are several projects will be conducted during this convention and you must register separately to take part. Let us make it happen celebrate Lionism. -Pat Duda, District 1A Governor Pduda0614@yahoo.com
Ten months passed so fast, in two more months I will be declared as Immediate Past District Governor. One year is very short to accomplish all set goals as Governor. I have few more clubs for Governors Visit and I want to complete them by next month. I request all clubs in District 1A for their help in completing this goal. It is nice to see that we crossed our goal for Lions Clubs International Foundation this year already. My sincere thanks to all the clubs who helped to reach this goal. Governor’s Newsletter1
