MONTHLY MUSINGS DG BILL UHRIG
MD 25 Lions enjoyed a most interesting and informative Mid Winter Conference Saturday, 10 January at Plainfield Middle School. PDG Jim Query, Conference Registrar, reports 258 Lions registered with 28 no shows. District 25F had been assigned a goal of 50 Lions. Those who attended pat yourself on the back. We had 86 registered. Indi-vidual Club recognition was based on total Club members registered and present. 25F Clubs recognized were Indianapolis Washington Township and Pike with 8 and Ben Davis with 7. By the time you read this our Winter Cabinet Meeting hosted by the Richmond Lions Club will be history. Now let’s plan ahead. Our District Convention is to be held Saturday, 14 March at Chapel Hill 7th and 8th Grade Center, Indianapolis. There is a registration form included in this newsletter. Note our Keynote Speaker is International Director Mike Molenda who will be accom-panied by his wife Lion Linda. I’ve met and had several conversa-tions with ID Mike and I’m confident you’ll enjoy and profit hearing from him. Please put this on your calendar and get your registration in post haste.

Lions All, The weather outside may be frightful but I know the Lions of 25F are delightful in their efforts to serve their communities! One area I want to highlight are the many dedicated State Project Trus-tees we have in 25F. Our five state projects are represented by fifteen trustees who are committed to supporting these projects. They spend many hours in meetings and traveling the roads of SE Indiana communicating the good works of the Lion State Projects. I encourage every club in Dis-trict 25F to make contact with your State Project Trustee’s and invite them to your meeting to speak. These trustees are eager to share the good news about how your club support is making such a big difference in the lives of Hoosiers. So do not delay. The trustees are all listed in the District Directory that every Club President and Secretary has been given back in July. Give them a call today and they will be glad to come out and speak to your club! Until we meet again stay warm and keep up the good work Lions! 1VDG John Brown
