LIONS OF ZONE 3B ATTEND MULTIPLE DISTRICT CONVENTION
May
23 – 27 saw fifteen lions, representing the Lions of Zone 3B attending the multiple
District 60 Convention in Trinidad and Tobago.
The multiple Districts comprise lions and Leo clubs from Bahamas in the
North to Suriname in the South.
The
lions participated in the Convention parade which allows the local citizens of
the host country to gain an appreciation for the Lions and their contribution
to the community. It also allows
participating countries to showcase
their national costumes or depicts thematic areas from the year’s programme.
In
addition to attending the various workshops which focused on Membership Development
and Retention, Use of IT, Health and Wellness and a Leo Forum, the lions
attended the Cabinet Meeting for Sub-District 60B and the multiple District 60 Convention.
The
highlight of the Convention was the election of the District Governors for Sub
District 60 A and 60 B who will lead the District for the lions’ fiscal year
2012-2013. Lion Claudius Tony
Buncamper MJF was elected to lead Sub-District 60B

The
Convention was addressed by International Director Lion Douglas X. Alexander,
who highlighted the fact that during this lions’ fiscal year the movement had
recorded a thirty-eight percent (38%) increase in membership. He challenged members to continue on this
growth path by each member committing to finding and bringing in one
person. He encouraged Clubs to
participate in the “One Shot, One Life Lions Measles Eradication Initiative” by
raising funds to support the programme.
International
Director Douglas implored lions to review their commitment to the organization
by asking the question “When did I become a Lion”. The
answer to this he said should be “When I made a difference in someone’s life,
or when I was able to put a smile on someone’s face. He reminded Lions and Leos that “when you
join the movement for the right reasons all the other stuff will follow”.
The
Lions and Leos of Zone 3B’s hard work was recognized as they were able to
capture the following awards
