To date, Governor Judy, 1st VDG Randy, and I, along with many cabinet members have visited:

• Costa Mesa - Orange Coast Lions
• OC Hana Lions
• Saddleback Zone B Meeting
• Stanton Lions
• Tustin Host Lions
• Seal Beach Lions
• Fullerton Host Lions
• Diamond Bar Breakfast Lions

At each of these meetings, we are warmly welcomed by enthusiastic Lions roaring to go to make Lions year 2017-18 a fantastic time to be a Lion in District 4-L4. DG Judy shares information about International President Naresh Aggarwal's "Power of We" focus and LCI's new efforts in the areas of diabetes awareness and pediatric cancer. 1st VDG Randy, shares his thoughts on clubs working together and sharing the opportunity of service by reaching out to other clubs in the district to help on projects; a continuation of IPDG Bob's "Joining Hands in Service". He also talks about the need to invite more people to help us serve our communities. Me, besides sitting there and looking handsome, talk about Leadership and focus on the many Leadership training opportunities offered by LCI, MD4, and our District. Each visitation increases our enthusiasm and strengthens us as a team. Here are some pictures of these recent visitations.

It has been a hectic several weeks as the new Lions year has kicked-off. Lots of travel and the start of the Governor Visitations to each Club.  Please forgive me as I combine several weeks of events.

My colleague, 2nd Vice-District Governor Bill Browning invited me to attend his installation in District L6. California is a Multiple District consisting of 15 Districts from the North to the South. Bill's district is comprised of San Diego and Imperial Counties. The event was held at the Miramar Officer's Club in Miramar. I sat with 2nd VDG Bill and several Lions who were Past District Governors.
 
Next, Governor Judy, 1st Vice-District Governor Randy, and visited two Lions Clubs. The OC Hana Lions and the Stanton Lions. A total of four new Lions were inducted during these visits. The OC Hana Lions will be celebrating their 1st anniversary as a Lions Club on August 24th and the Stanton Lions are celebrating their 70th year as a Lions Club on 11/11/2017. Both of these clubs represent the resurgence of Lions in our communities and are attracting new Lions with the desire to serve their communities.
