STATE CONVENTION
As a reminder, our district is hosting the state convention this year on April 20-22, 2018 at the Airport Hilton in Kenner, LA. I know the Convention team is hard at work making sure that this convention is one for the record books. PDG Bob Ebberman asked me to remind everyone that seats are still available for the Melvin Jones Luncheon on Convention Friday. We are still taking registration for the Convention, but don’t delay, Make sure you are in that number!
The Convention Program team is looking for ads for the program. Ads are:
- $25 for a quarter page of the program (about Business card size)
- $50 for half page (a quarter of a letter sized page)
- $100 for a full page (half a letter sized page, lengthwise)
Ads can be for clubs, local businesses, or even a word of support for a candidate or fellow Lion. Program Book Ads help offset printing & operating costs for the convention. Program Ads are a GREAT way to spread the word of your business or club fundraisers to our Lions membership. We ask that the deadline for ads is April 1st. If you are interested in purchasing an ad, ASAP please contact Lion Bob Williams (504.468.2475, bwilliams38@cox.net or via mail:

SERVICE
As we get into the final stretch of our Lions year, I’d like to again remind everyone about the Lions Centennial Service Challenge, where our Lions International President has challenged Lions across the globe to participate in service projects targeting Diabetes, Youth, Environment, Vision, and Hunger, along with other great service that your Lions perform. You can learn more about the challenge through the Lions International website.
