Friends the year started with inspiration from the words of Rabindra Nath Tagore. We tried during the months gone by to bring smiles on the faces that need our support. It has been a wonderful journey, made even more successful because of our understanding and harmony in the district.
Success has many definations and the one most apt to my mind is:
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of childern;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because of you lived;
On 29th January, in partnership with other NGOs, we had organized a march of over 400 childern dressed like Mahatama Gandhi. There were two pages photo coverage in the latest issue of TIME magzine;
We also started the year with International President's Goal of Tree Planting.
Friends I belive we are making like no other service organization in the world. I belive in our mooto "WE SERVE." And I belive in you- the lions of the District 322B1, who make up the network of caring, and a network of service. Together, as a family of unique volunteers, we constitute Lions Clubs International-the globle leader in community services.
Together we will flow onward - a benevolent flood of services to the world. That is the flood everyone shall welcome. Our 13 eye hospitals, blood bank and every kind of need based services are our identity. I would appeal to make each club strong and vibrant. Let lions enjoy coming to heir club meetings. Let club experience be something that lions and their families look forword to.
So be proud of being a lion. This is just a beginning and we have to achive many milestones with your support. I once again call upon you to continue your efforts to achieve excellence through performance.
