A Message from the President
Greeting Fellow Lions,
Last month, we celebrated 65 years of service to the Lakeville community. At the September dinner meeting, our guest speaker, Past District Governor Art Birk, of the Culver Lions Club, reminded us of some of the accomplishments of the past 65 years and encouraged us to continue our tradition of service. In his closing, PDG Art reminded us that we can and must choose, each day, whether we will treat the problems we encounter as insurmountable obstacles which will prevent us from accomplishing our goals, or as challenges to be overcome.
As we begin the next 65 years of service to our community, we welcome three new members to the Lakeville Lions Club: Dwight Noble, Melissa Noble, and Terry Rensberger.
Yours in Lionism,
Lion Paul Russell
