My Dear fellow Lions
Leos and Lion Leaders,
“I
Believe with Service and Satisfaction We Can achieve our Goals”
One more Lions year
rushing towards its end, and yet another round of applause and awards for many
of us who received them at the District Convention in Entebbe ,
It is almost a year
since I took up the office of the Cabinet Secretary of District 411-B; and
believe me fellow Lions it has been one of the most exciting and challenging
year I ever had, I find it difficult to look for words expressing my experience
towards the duty to serve our society and make it a better place for humanity
to live in; live with respect and dignity which each and every one equally
deserves, I am thankful to the District Governor Lion Satish Sharma to give me
this opportunity to be of service to my fellow Lions.
Fellow Lions we all have
tried our level best during the course of the year, and many of the clubs have
achieved their set goals with maximum percentage, I from the bottom of my heart
congratulate each and every Lion for their tremendous efforts in bringing a
smile to the community and add a Star to the club.
Following the theme of
our District governor “Service and Satisfaction”; our district witnessed many
activities; among them Various programmes including Tree Planting, Orientation
seminars, Relief and Medical camps, Quest, Aid to Orphanages, water well
projects Eye Camps and many more humanitarian activities were carried out
successfully by the majority of the clubs in the District, to the secretaries
whom I thank for sending my office their club reports on time.
The start of a New
Lionistic Year is just round the corner, and therefore I call you Leaders to
prepare your selves for your New Role and step into the shoes of the current Leadership;
start planning and preparing for your new term to effectively take up the role
and surpass the achievements of the predecessors.
For preparing yourself
for the new role there is a vast opportunity available in form of Leadership
material and grooming ourselves by updating the current knowledge that we have
about Lionism from the International website, Regional leadership and training
seminars are always an added advantage once the opportunity is availed to us,
The Lion Leaders of
District 411-B, have a another great responsibility to bear; Lions we have to
start projection of the Africa Leader and International Leader for the near
future, so that we can maintain our role and importance in shaping the future
of Lionism in our home countries and Africa as whole; and in this ground work
we have to assist our Leaders, Lion Manoj Shah (PID), Lion Dr Tebebe (PDG),
Lion Dr. S.P Amin (PID) Lion Majid Khan (PDG), Lion Shem Bageine (PMCC), the
current Governors and Incoming, so that when the launching time comes we are
prepared to forward the candidature in ONE Voice.
Fellow Lions to achieve
the dream of making Africa a single Constitutional area; we have to work very
cooperatively and effectively in bringing the membership of our district to the
1250 member mark, and to bring this mark I request all the Presidents of the
clubs in Tanzania and Uganda to maximize their efforts in bringing quality
members in to their clubs.
On behalf of my family,
Lion Kala and myself I would like to once again convey our deepest sympathies
and condolences to the families of all those Lions who have lost a loved one,
We remember them in our prayers and pray to the Almighty Lord to rest
their souls in Eternal peace Amen,
I thank you all
once again for your wonderful cooperation and for the timely reporting of club
activities and MMR to the International and my office, I request you to please
give the same support and cooperation to the new District Cabinet and their
officers,
Wishing you all the
Success and Happiness,
Yours Sincerely,
Lion Manish Chavda,
Cabinet Secretary LY 2011/2012
District 411-B,
Tanzania-Uganda
