This is the first initiative of the many joint social and service activities planned by our newly installed Region Chairman Lion Monica Felix and Zone Chairman Lion Marcia St Ange for this lionistic year 2015-2016.

  

Lion Monica Felix of the Soufriere Piton Lions was installed as Region Chairman, Region 3 and will provide leadership to the clubs in St. Vincent, Barbados, Grenada and our lovely home Saint. Lucia. Lion Monica’s message to her clubs was simply outlined in her introductory letter:

“As we seek to “TAKE A STAND AND MAKE IT RIGHT THROUGH SERVICE”, let us focus on Lion Marvin Grant MJF District Governor’s core areas for the fiscal year 2015-2016 with diligence and pride and work towards a successful year.
I pledge my support and look forward to continue working with the Lions family in assisting in the implementation and execution of the District Governor’s goals and objectives.”

Monica Felix has been a proud lion now for 28 years. She states that being a lion has taught her to serve in the areas where a need arises and to give back to one who might be less fortunate than she is. It has given her several opportunities to build self as a leader and it has allowed her to foster different networks in the Caribbean.

She has served in various positions including President, Secretary, and Membership Chairperson at club level and at district level she has held the position of Diabetes Chairman, Zone Chairperson and now proudly serving as Region Chairperson.

Lion Monica Felix would like to urge service-minded members of the public to join the world's largest service organisation and collectively assist the less fortunate

Lion Cecila Marcia St. Ange joined the Lions movement approximately 21 years ago and has enjoyed sharing, giving and most of all serving in her community.

She has served in a number of positions in her Club -Lions Club of Gros-Islet; including First and Second Vice President, First and Second Year Director; Chairperson for Health and First Sight and The Elderly and President for two term.,

Lion Marcia noted that working with the Lions Club of Gros-Islet and partnering with the other Lions Clubs in St. Lucia, has been a very rewarding experience. She states that her attendance at the various District Governors’ Audits has enlightened her to the expectations and level of commitment required, and enabled her to grow in lionism and continue to strive for excellence in every area.

In her current role as Zone Chairman 3B she has responsibility for the leadership and management of all clubs in Saint Lucia (Zone 3B) and reports directly to the Region Chairman. In her words “Let us continue our journey together and embrace the Seven Pillars of Excellence as outlined by our District Governor in the Strategic Plan for Sub-District 60 B.” Lion Marcia’s Theme for 2015-2016 is “Commitment in Lionism, through participation and partnering”

The clubs in Zone 3B pledge support to our Region and Zone Chairmen as we strive to answer the challenge of our District Governor, Lion Marvin Grant MJF, to “TAKE A STAND AND MAKE IT RIGHT THROUGH SERVICE.”
