LIONS AND LEOS OF ZONE 3B HOST FIRST CABINET MEETING

FIRST CABINET MEETING OF SUB-DISTRICT 60B

Zone 3B (Saint Lucia) hosted the first Cabinet Meeting  of Sub-District 60B  from August 15 – 19, 2012.   Sub-District 60B comprise the fifteen Caribbean territories of Anguila, Antigua, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Island, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, Netherlands, St Kitts,     St. Maarten, the US Virgin Islands – St. Thomas, St Croix and St. John and host Saint Lucia. 

The programme for the meeting included a Leo Forum where the Leos were given an opportunity to review their role in the organization and to speak openly and frankly with the Lions.

The group of Lions and Leos were also given an opportunity during a”Rap” session to review challenges and share best practices so that club administration could be strengthened.  A number of workshops ranging from Leadership and Membership Development to Marketing Strategies were organized.  The highlight of the Meeting was the District Forum where  attendees were placed in groups to  bring out challenges and come up with solutions which would be used to guide the operations of the clubs.

In addition to the formal part of the meeting the District Governor was able to pay courtesy calls on the Deputy Governor General, the Honourable Prime Minister and the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports.  

 He was able to solicit support from them for the Lions Quest programs which teaches young people skills necessary for everyday success.  These skills include:

•       Learning to accept responsibility

• Communicating effectively

• Setting goals

• Making healthy decisions

• Resisting pressure to use alcohol and drugs

 It is hoped that a comprehensive programme will be prepared and that it can be piloted in Vieux Fort.

With this in mind I am asking all clubs both Lions & Leo to take this organization to higher heights.

As your District Governor I am here to continue to motivate our District. I am also asking clubs to assist and share your ideas and projects with clubs who are a little weak or need a little guidance. We are all family members and we need to be able to assist our Lions & Leo in the District that needs assistance.

My fellow Lions & Leos let us continue to BELIEVE “in” this fantastic Service club.
