The Next Phase of My Life

Today the Missouri State Multiple District of Internationa Lions Clubs adjourned its 90th Convention, which was held in Jefferson City, MO. It was a great week-end gathering with my ever-expanding family of Lions. There were excellent training seminars held both before and during the convention. The business sessions were made up of year end reports from the multiple district committees and from many quality social agencies that work with the area Lions. On Saturday night we had the banquet and Karen joined me in formal wear as we were treated like royalty and made a grand entrance as we entered the convention hall. This marked the end of my year of service to Lions as the First Vice District Governor and the preparation for my taking on the duties of the District Governor of district 26M6 in southwest Missouri. I will still be doing club visitations and attending the district cabinet meeting in May. Then in June Karen and I will be flying to Busan, South Korea, for the Lions Clubs International Convention. There I will complete my training to become District Governor and will be officially installed. We are so excited about this opportunity.
God has really been good to us in this first year of retirement and I am looking forward to the wonderful plans that he has for our marriage, our service to the church, and our work together with the Lions Clubs in District 26M6. Maybe I won't take so long to post items on this blog spot.
