Retired Airline and Military Pilot Elected President of Lions Clubs International

Our International Convention ended today with the election of Sid L. Scruggs III as our 2010-2011 International President. Sid, a Lion from Vass, North Carolina, USA, is a retired military and commercial airline pilot and a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy.

President Scruggs’ theme, A Beacon of Hope, will make service to others the focal point of his presidency.

Sid will also be joining this blog to provide occasional “President’s Blog” posts – first-hand accounts of service projects that Lions are doing around the world – during his official visits.

Watch “The Flyin’ Lion” to learn more about Sid.
