President’s Service Blog: Cusco, Peru

During my presidency, I want to meet as many Lions as possible, but with 1.35 million Lions worldwide, that’s a tall order. Every Lion is important to me and our association because each of us has the power to be a “Beacon of Hope.”

Recently, I traveled to Cusco, Peru, a remote area that sits at an altitude of 11,200 feet. Mayor Luis Florez met with Judy and me. He presented a scepter to me, which in his culture is a sign of great respect, because he has seen first-hand the wonderful humanitarian work Lions are doing in his community.

In this video, you’ll see a behind-the-scenes look at our visit with Mayor Florez.
