From Lion Past President Steve Yanega
June 1, 2010
It’s hard to believe that my yearly term as the 59th President of the Tri-Village Lions has come to an end. I remember Lion Hoot telling me that your year as President will go quick; he was without a doubt right. One of the major transitions was our move from the Buckeye to MCL which came about rather suddenly. Hopefully everyone is satisfied with the accommodations just remember that nothing is perfect.
The upcoming year is going to be exciting because it‟s is our 60th year anniversary being celebrated on September 25 at the OSU Golf Course. Lion Jane Jarrow is going to make an outstanding President that is going to need plenty of help from every member. Lion Jane has some creative ideas and is willing to go the extra mile in order to meet her objectives.
The members that were unable to attend our Installation night meeting missed our own PDG Lion John Dilley giving a brief talk about the beginnings of Lionism as part of his induction. There were 4 awards given, if you want to find out who the recipients were just finish reading this newsletter.
The next time that things are not going according to plan just think of what the people living in the Gulf of Mexico, living through another disaster. We can just hope and pray their situation can be totally corrected. All you sea food lovers like Lion Jeff Davis just think about changing your tastes toward the other white meat.
Finally I want to thank my Vice Presidents and Board for the exceptional work that they have done and any Tri-Village member for their help and support.
Recently I was informed by another Past President that a Lion that has been through the chairs is referred to as a washy. All things considered this has been an enjoyable year.
