This weekend was the Lions of District Multiple District 24 State convention. Lots of "first," lots of information, lots of training, lots of friendship building and lots of effort for a joint service project happened in 3 short days. In Bristol, Virginia we elected our new Governors for the three Districts in Va., District L, C, and I.

We are especially privileged that the International President, ( as of July 1st), Lion Mark Lion was present to lead, encourage and inspire us. Lion Mark will be the International President of over 48,000 clubs in over 200 countries. He is the leader of Lions worldwide.

Incoming President Mark inducted our newest member of Thalia Lions Club, Synora Matachia. To my knowledge, there is no other Lion in the state of Virginia who has ever been inducted by an International President. It was a memorable event.

Having elected our new leadership, we came home eager to serve and eager to try out new ideas.

A couple of years ago, John aquired a full optometric examination lane of equipment and donated it to Lions District 24 I. I am so gratified to see that Past District Lion Dr. Kristina Ramsey found the best place for its use. It will now be at the EVMS Hopes Free Clinic - Optometry & Ophthalmology. In the Dr. John A. Watters Examination Room, free vision care will be provided for the uninsured and needy. John's life of dedication to others keeps giving. Thank you Lion DG Kristina. Pictured below is Lion Dr. K and three 2nd year School of Optometry students.
