WE SERVE!
A Message from District Governor Kathy Crockett
Hello Lions and Leos,
​
Where has the time gone? The end of the 2023-2024 Lions year is quickly approaching but one thing is for sure, the Lions of 22B have impacted so many lives with their compassion and service and will continue to do so in the years to come.
The 101st MD22 Convention is in the books and I hope those in attendance enjoyed it. It was a wonderful time to make new friends and reconnect with old ones and just enjoy being with people who have the same vision and that is to serve. Consider attending the
102nd MD Convention at the WISP Resort in McHenry, MD next year.
The new portal has launched and many comments have been positive. Like anything else, there will be a learning curve. Training videos are available on the site itself and our Information and Technology Chair Jesse Drewer can answer any questions you might have. Lion Jesse has even emailed “how to steps” for logging on and accessing
information to presidents and secretaries.
We are currently in the “plus” column for membership growth. Please continue to invite new members. With more members come more opportunities to serve more people. 63% of clubs so far have added new members this year, which is commendable. Hats off to Chesapeake City and Millington who have added 12 new members each. Federalsburg is not far behind with 11. There is still plenty of time to add members to your club.
​
Please remember to support LCIF with your donations! Currently our clubs have donated almost $24,000. Let’s reach our goal of $35,000! Our own district has benefited in so many ways including grants for the Conowingo Medical Center and a much needed $10,000 grant to Crisfield after the disastrous effects of Hurricane Sandy.
I have had the honor of serving as your District Governor and it has been a once in a lifetime experience, something I wouldn’t have missed. A year ago, there were feelings of apprehension and uncertainty but they quickly evaporated with the support of my cabinet and the Lions of 22B. I encourage every Lion to think about serving at the club and district level and then consider taking the decisive step of serving as District Governor. You will not regret it, I promise!
Lions, continue to do what you do best, make a difference! Thank you for all you do!
​
Thank you for all you do for your communities,
Kathy Crockett
2023-2024 22B District Governor

Lions are individuals who volunteer their time to humanitarian causes in their local and world communities. By conducting service projects and raising funds, Lions strive to help those in need, wherever the need exists. The Lion’s motto is "We Serve".
Lions aim to improve health and well-being, strengthen communities, support those in need through humanitarian aid, and encourage peace and international understanding.
The Lions of Maryland feed the hungry, assist after disasters, clean up in neighborhoods, raise funds for the visually impaired, orphans, and other causes, and run a variety of youth programs, mentoring youth as they pursue positive activities and carry out service projects.
There is a Lion! When caring people join together, roll up their sleeves, and take action to make their community better, it’s a beautiful thing—and an incredible feeling for everyone involved. That’s Lions. Being a Lion is about leading by example, building relationships, and improving the world through kindness. It’s 1.4 million caring individuals serving together so they can make a lasting impact and change more lives.
