April 2014 District 19A Newsletter - District Governor Peter Cheng
Dear fellow Lions, Leos and Lionesses,
I am extremely pleased with the participation and success of our District
Spring Conference. Our District team put together one of best attended
conference we have had in years. Our International guest ID Teresa
Mann was well received. She brought a good prospective of Lions
growth in China. It was good to hear that Lions are becoming more
prominent in the local communities. There is a potential that they can out
pace our membership very soon.
The 2 panels; Healthy Living and Social Media are well attended. The
social media panel sparked a lot of interest in more exposure for
individual clubs through facebook and Instagram. Some Lions in
attendance want to get more information and training. Our panelist
Bowen Wong was asked to speak at the MD Convention on the subject.
Please accept my heartfelt thanks for being part of our success story.
There were some very good reports at the cabinet meeting which show
that we are making a recovery in membership after starting off at the
beginning of our year in a severe deficit situation. I would like to
commend all the hard work of our Zone Chairpersons and Cabinet
embers. The extension team is working with a group of Lions and has
people in the process to start a new club in next few weeks.
The finish line is in sight. I see our clubs are working very hard to finish
the goals that we have set at the beginning of the year. “A dream you
dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality”.
Yours in Service,
District Governor Peter Cheng 3rd Cabinet Meeting on
April 25, 2014.
