Today marks the official launch of our site, www.markpiva.com. Yay!
Emails were sent to club presidents and secretaries announcing my candidacy and included a link to the website. Moving forward, I will periodically record my activities related to the campaign. As I do, the focus will be on the clubs and Lions I meet along the way. This website marks a change in some of the traditional approaches taken to running for and being a District Officer. Rather than provide a physical brochure, Lions will be invited to visit the website to learn about me and stay abreast of activities between now and the District 4-L4 convention in May. The path to becoming a District Governor is long and costly. First, you run for 2nd Vice District Governor, then you run for 1st Vice District Governor, then District Governor. Finally you serve as Immediate Past District Governor. The cost and time commitment associated with being a District and Vice District Governor can be an impediment to many Lions who are considering moving up and taking leadership roles in Lions. In an effort to find a way to remedy this, a team of Lions was formed to support me in raising the funds needed to successfully carry out the duties of being 2nd Vice District Governor. Throughout the year, they will hold fundraising events to help defray the expenses associated with being 2nd Vice District Governor. If this approach is successful, it will mark the beginning of an effort to provide future Lions, who wish to lead, some of the financial resources they need. To be involved in this effort, and to stay abreast of events, please sign up to receive notifications by following this link: Let Me Know. Your contact information will remain confidential. Should you like to make a direct gift to the fund, contact Lion Steve Christy, by sending an email to: Lion Steve. Lion Cathy Waters of the Harbor Mesa Lions is serving as a treasurer for this effort. I hope you will join me in this effort and I ask for your vote this May.
