first, loving individuals and offereing needed services should always start at home. I have found as I have grown older that some of my words and tone toward my wife are often too candid and a little gruff. Sherri and I have a great relationship full of friendship and love and I pledge to her to be a better Lion. I have also asked that we serve our neighbors and churches. One Lion from Richmond joking after I asked him to repeat the new acronym for LIONS and he said, Lousy Individual Offering Nothing Special. This was said in fun but opened my eyes to the absolute contrast of what our International President has asked of Lions and what some people might be.
Loving individuals offering needed service to our families, neighbors, churches, club members, Utah Lions and Lions International is our paramount quest. Please keep up the good work.
Lions are Covention Going People, we all love being around others that serve and who amound us doesn't like a good party. Over the next six months we have:
MD State Convention May 12-14
Seattle International Convention July 4-8
Please plan on participating in each of these conventions. It is rare to have te International Covention so close as Seattle. Please fill out the attached International Convention application and join us. The next two International Conventions are in Korea and Germany.
Vice District Governor Bruce Hyde is looking forward to being your new District Governor for 2011-2012. He has already started extending invitation to Lions to serve on his District Cabinet. If you have an interest in getting involved
or know of a Lions who would serve well in the District Cabinet, please feel free to call VDG Bruce at 801-580-1555. I would like to publicly thank Immediate Past District Governor Meryln Johnson for working with VDG Bruce Hyde and VDG Wayne King. These are fine men that are the immediate future of the Utah Lions.
Your Lion friend,
Lion Carl

District Governor
District 28-U
Dear Lions,
It has been and honor and a privilege as your District Governor to visit your Lions Clubs. I didn't realize so many red carpets existed in Northern Utah. Thank you for being so welcoming and for sharing your projects, acts of kindness and many services your clubs have provided.
It is my honor to represent International President Sid Scruggs message of being a "Beacon of Hope" to the world and to spread his message of love and service. His new acronym for LIONS is Loving Individuals Offering Needed Service. What a satisfying and accurate way of representing who Lions are and what we do.
My theme is "Lucky to Serve" and I have asked that we serve our families
