From Lion President Jane Jarrow
March 1, 2011
This month, two very different and very important opportunities are before us. The District 13-F leadership has chosen to help sponsor an Honor Flight on October 22, 2011. As you may know, Honor Flight honors and celebrates World War II veterans by flying them to Washington, DC to visit memorials dedicated to their important service. The Honor Flight Columbus website reminds us:
“If you can read this, thank a teacher.
If you can read it in English,
thank a World War II Veteran before it is too late!”
I have been given the exciting assignment of helping to promote this worthy activity to the Lions throughout District 13-F, and I have enlisted the help of our Webmaster Extraordinaire, Lion Darin Spiegel, to assist. Full information about the upcoming flurry of activity is now available on the Tri-Village website.
MEANTIME, our more immediate excitement surrounds the candidacy of our own LION CAROL DILLEY for 2nd Vice District Governor of District 13-F. Carol’s enthusiasm and dedication to the Tri-Village Lions has never wavered, but she is ready and willing to share her time and her talents with the District – and it is up to the Tri-Village Lions to make every effort to see her get elected! Lion Carol will shine all on her own in this important endeavor, and her reflected glory will remind the Lions of 13-F that the Tri-Village Lions are, and have always been, a force to be reckoned with!
Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Lion Carol has committed herself to serving the Lions of Central Ohio in this more visible and demanding role – and we are committed to giving her all of our support in that endeavor.
