Lions Story of the Week: President Scruggs’ First Visit to International Headquarters

I am really proud to work as District Governor under the stewardship of Lion Sid L. Scruggs III.

My hearty welcome to Sid and his wife Judy to our International headquarters office. I am fortunate to take a picture of mine by sitting in the president’s chair during my visit to headquarters in December 2004. It was a great feeling in my 36 years of lionistic service and probably that might have prompted me to accept to become the unanimous choice as DG of our newly carved district 324-C9 for 2010-2011. I am very happy with slogan ‘be a beacon hope’ of our president Sid, a service slogan after a gap of many years. My slogan is ‘SERVE WITH COMPASSION.’ I am effectively implementing all programs in my district and producing a documentary in the last quarter. I am extending 9 clubs this August/September 2010 and membership growth of 200. 27 MJFs will be enrolled. Since this is a year of youth, I am extending 6 Leo clubs and forming a Leo district. Committed to achieve 5,000 cataract surgeries, 10,000 units of blood donation and 100 government schools adoptions to provide facilities for poor students. I wish the President an eventful and a memorable year of service.

Emphasis on service rather than membership growth by the President has won him accolades from all corners of the world. Congratulations President sir.
