District Governor's message

As Governor of District A-711 Lions, | am happy to be part of this significant milestone that marks a quarter of a century of success, growth, and resilience. The 25^th Anniversary.

Lions are more than members of a service organisation-we are a family bound by purpose. Together we stand for community, compassion, and action.

This year, | want us to roar louder than ever before. And we will do it by focusing on four priorities that will fuel our future: Membership, Service, Youth, and Leadership.

Membership: Every new Lion is a spark of energy. They bring fresh ideas, fresh passion, and fresh strength. Imagine if every Lion brought in just one new member - we would double our impact overnight.

Service: Service is our heartbeat. Let’s take on projects that don’t just make a difference — they make a statement. Projects that tell our communities: The Lions are here, and we are here for you. Let us be the ones people look to in times of need and in times of hope.

Youth: The future is not tomorrow - it is today. Our Leos, our youth programs, our mentorship — they are our legacy in motion. When we invest in young people, we invest in the energy and leadership that will carry this district forward for generations.

Leadership: A Strong pride of Lions grows because leaders rise. This year let’s build leaders at every level — Lions who confident, equipped, and inspired to take the next step. Each of us has a leader within and it’s time to unleash it.

So, | ask you: Are you ready to grow, are you ready to Serve? Are you ready to Lead?
International President A.P. Singh motto: “Lead to Serve, Serve to Lead”
Governor’s Theme: “Growth Through Service”
