31st MULTIPLE DISTRICT CONVENTION - BARBADOS

The Lions of Multiple District 60 converged on the island of Barbados for their annual Multiple District Convention from May 18 - 22, 2011.  The Lions Club of Bridgetown celebrated fifty years of their charter and by extension fifty years of lionism in Barbados. 

The International President lion Sid L.Scruggs III, in his Message had this to say:

"This event offers you a unique opportunity to share with others what your club and District are doing to make your community and the world a better place.  Speak with other lions and seek out new ideas to help your Club and District improve and expand the service you are already providing in your area.  Take this opportunity to celebrate all that Lions have accomplished in your multiple district through compassion and camaraderie; but also realize, there is still much that needs to be done.

As Lions you serve as a "Beacon of Hope" for those in  need. Continue to let your light shine on those who can benefit from the care of a Lion.  The future of the association depends upon the dedication and leadership of every member. By working with your Club, District and Multiple Disttict, we can live Helen Keller's words, "Together each accomplishes more."

Our Distrcit Governor 60B, Lion June Mc Catty  in her message said  - Re-energized: To fulfill Our Motto.  This motto has truly guided the emotions, activities and interactions of all lions and Leos of District 60B.   .......   It certainly has been a fantastic year for District 60B and what a tremendous wayto begin to bring it to a close by us, Lions, Leos and Guests meeting in the paradies island of Barbados ........ Let us make it one that we will never forget by getting involved, enjoying ourselves, sharing and learning from each other.
