Times are hard right now for our Lions clubs due to the Corona Virus.  It seems that the numbers are still growing in Kentucky.  What does this mean for the Lions is we probably are having trouble meeting and doing a lot of service projects.  This also means we need to stay in touch with our club members.  Everyone is getting COVID BURNT and a friendly voice can make a lot of difference.  With the virus growing so rapidly we need to make sure our fellow club members are okay and don’t need some help.  But we as Lions need to also not forget our communities.

 

 As I said before try to think out of the box of ways you can help your community.  One way to possibly help is talk with city officials of ways your club may be able to help.  Check with your school officials and see if there is anything that your club can help with.  I know a lot of schools do bag lunches and deliver them when the kids are not in school.  This may be a program that your club can help with. 

 

The NAMI team is still hard at work trying to look where new clubs could be added but also what can be done to help clubs that might need help.  It is hard to move forward with this since you can’t have face to face meetings but we are preparing for when we can.  If your club needs help contact your District Governor our contact me and I will talk to someone and try to get you help.

 

A lot of clubs have still not turned in your officers for this year.  Please do this and also report any service that you are doing.  This really helps Lions International know what we as Kentucky Lions are doing but it also helps when the Lions of Kentucky apply for any type of grants.  It is nice to have the reports there for them to see that we are working hard in Kentucky.

 

Well to rap this up remember WE ARE LIONS AND WE ARE STRONG.  We will survive this and come out stronger.  Keep positive and keep working.

 

I did have a typo on my email on my last letter.  My email is lsmith@franklinexp.com and phone is 270-776-0987 so if you need me you can contact me any time.
