5M2 Lions

District Governor

A message from the Governor.
I would like to take this time to thank you for being and active part of District 5M2. Without your involvement, we would not be the great district that we are. I will continue to urge you to be active and involved in the decisions that are made in your club. I would also ask of you to seek out new members to become part of the Lions family. We are reaching for new goals this year as we grow in numbers. Currently we are the 3rd largest district in our Multiple District. We can become the 2nd largest district with your help. We are also seeking out area's that do not have a Lions Club to serve them. If you are aware of an area that needs a Lions Club, please contact me or PID Maynard Rucks.
                                                                        Thanks,
                                                                        DG Darwin Mathwig
