The Illinois Lion Lioness Leo MD1 e-Magazine Vol. 2 - Issue 9 Conventions 2015

DISTRICT CONVENTIONS:

Dear MD1 Lions, Lionesses and Leos, here you have a complete list of District Conventions of Multiple District 1. Now you can mark your calendars and attend all or some of Conventions in State of Illinois.

Each District has its own unique style in holding District Conventions. Some districtsf will invite Past International Presidents and most of them invite current International Directors to be their special guest for the event.

After working hard for the entire year, during

MD1 District Conventions Special Issue

f Edition

f Edition

conventions Lions, Lionesses and Leos have fun and frolic to celebrate their achievements, brag about their projects and honor and award dedicated lions, lionesses and leos.

Hospitality rooms and convention themes play a major role in these events to attract attendees. Some districts hold training seminars, lectures and invite inspirational speakers.

My advise is to attend as many conventions we can and bring new ideas to our own districts to make things happen, to increase attendees for our next year’s convention. There is no such thing in Lionism – stealing ideas. If it works for you, just do it; it is yours.

Now, get ready and mark your calendars. See you during these conventions to take a picture and place it on facebook album.
