From DG Kathy "This year one of my custom goals has been to increase recognition of Lions at the district level. We have presented Lions Pride Challenge Coins, certificates, recognition at cabinet meetings and newsletters, notes, and small awards. Tonight I will be presenting the first of a series of Shining Star awards. The rest will be presented at the last cabinet meeting and at the convention"
SHINING STAR AWARDS:
The first award of the evening went to The Easton Elks Lodge. This club has been instrumental in seeing that our district has a first rate eyeglass shed for storage. The district was gifted a shed by the Millington Lions The Easton Lions jumped in action, coordinated its new location here on the grounds of the Easton Elks, made repairs, painted it and provided a Lion sign. They help to coordinate our eyeglass packing days and maintain the shed.

The next award goes to a Lion who has demonstrated his compassion to children with life threatening illnesses. Each year Lion Dave Davis encourages our clubs to support the Red Shoe Shuffle to benefit Ronald McDonald House and coordinates clubs giving.
