Lions Clubs of Iowa: District 9SW

			IOWA LIONS DISTRICT 9SW Let’s start off the new year by thanking and congratulating Jerry and Barb Farley for their great year of service in 2009-2010. They have truly “left a shadow of their life through service.” We appreciate you Jerry and Barb! Great job! I am proud to serve as your 2010-11 9SW District Governor. My husband and partner in service, Lion Ken, live in Adair. Ken has worked at a southwest Iowa John Deere dealership for 44 years, and I’ve been in the banking/accounting/insurance business my entire life. We are both still working. We are here to work for you and your club…not above you, not below you, but BESIDE YOU. Please contact me to schedule club visits, schedule special presentations, or attendance at other events. Secretaries, please email or mail me your MMR’s and your monthly club activities reports. The new International President Sid Scruggs III’s theme for 2010-11 is “Beacon of Hope”. Sid’s theme includes the photo of the Cape Hatarask lighthouse. “When the raging storms of life rush in, bringing darkness, when the dream fades and despair takes its place, then like a faithful lighthouse on the distant shore, a Lion stands as a ray of light to show the way.” Sid challenges each of us to find the light within ourselves, and be a beacon of hope and service. “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” President Scruggs wants each club to have a “signature” service project.
