Each District has its own District Conventions. Some International Presidents and International Directors to be event.

After working hard for the

entire

year,

during

conventions Lions, Lionesses and Leos have fun and frolic to celebrate their achievements, brag about their projects and honor and award dedicated lions, lionesses and leos.

Hospitality rooms and convention themes play a major role in these events to attract attendees. Some districts hold training seminars, lectures and invite inspirational speakers.

My advise is to attend as many conventions we can and bring new ideas to our own districts to make things happen, to increase attendees for our next year’s convention. There is no such thing in Lionism – stealing ideas. If it works for you, just do it; it is yours.

Now, get ready and mark your calendars. See you during these conventions to take a picture and place it on facebook album.
