Message from International President Sid Scruggs to Lion
Leaders |
June 2011 |

Dear
Lion JOEY,
This is my last monthly message to you as
international president and I wish to thank you for
all you have done to make this year so memorable and
satisfying.
Throughout our shared leadership year I have asked you
to let your light shine; to shine as a beacon of hope
to all who need our help. You have done all this and
more. Through the four Global Service Action Campaigns
alone, you have helped Lions Clubs International reach
new heights of service. These worldwide
initiatives spotlighted the needs and potential of
young people, blindness prevention, worldwide hunger,
and protecting the environment. More
importantly, these campaigns resulted in direct
service to more than 11.6 million people -- people
whose lives have been touched by Lions and who will
not forget what we have done for them.
First Vice President Wing-Kun Tam shares our belief
that service is paramount in the International
Association of Lions Clubs and I am pleased to tell
you that the Global Service Action Campaigns we have
inaugurated this year will continue under his
leadership. In fact, he will be expanding the
Protecting our Environment Campaign to challenge Lions
to plant one million trees during his year as
president. I hope these campaigns will become a yearly
tradition shining a light on our association's most
important service commitments.
Thank you again for all you have done to serve your
communities and for participating in this year of
extraordinary achievement.
Best wishes,
Sid L. Scruggs III
International President

Global Service Action Campaigns |
|
Lions from around the world have taken up the
challenge to organize service activities specifically
focused on engaging youth, sharing vision, relieving
hunger, and protecting our environment. Clubs from all
seven LCI constitutional areas participated in the
campaigns, and have dedicated nearly 1.62 million
service hours to projects that have benefited over
11.6 million people worldwide.
Each campaign provided clubs with a unique opportunity
to serve their community while helping to address some
of the most pressing humanitarian challenges facing
our world today.
The 2010-11 global service action campaigns were an
important reminder of the strength of our global
network and how Lions' compassion to be of service can
make a difference in the lives of others.
Whether it meant providing food to impoverished
families, holding vision screenings for
underprivileged school children, restoring a degraded
forest that offers a source of livelihood for their
community, or building wells to ensure access to safe
water for the rural poor, Lions were there to serve as
beacons of hope.
View examples
of how Lions and Leos from around the world have
worked together to serve their communities:

Beacon of Hope Highlights |
|
You have shown the way for your neighbors.
During the past 11 months Lions light has shone as a
beacon for people seeking effective ways to serve
their communities and the world Lions Clubs
International membership has increased by 24,131 over
last year. More than 1,400 new Lions Clubs have been
chartered in 92 countries. I see this as a clear
indication that, when people know who Lions are and
have the opportunity to see what we do, they will wish
to join us. Important and successful service projects
bring new and effective members to our clubs and
districts. More members and more clubs in more places
mean more and better service to our communities and
the world. We must do all we can to keep this
cycle turning and the momentum moving forward! With
more Lions in more clubs in more communities, Lions
Clubs International will be able to change the lives
of more people in more places than ever before. |

Set Your Sights High |
|
Begin making plans now for your club and district's
participation in next year's Global Service Action
Campaigns. They will begin in August with the
Engaging Our Youth campaign to be followed by Sharing
the Vision, Relieving the Hunger and Protecting Our
Environment.
