Dear Lions,

Each of us plays an essential role in growing our clubs and our service, and by joining forces, we can make our mark in even more impactful ways.

Let’s promote our clubs and lift each other up by working together to reach both our personal and club goals. By learning, growing and drawing inspiration from one another, we will continue to build a vibrant, motivated community of Lions that will carry our mission forward.

It’s so important that we move together as a club, but it’s also important to take steps of our own. So take that training. Speak to that potential new member. And celebrate all of your accomplishments by sharing your stories of service. When we open up and share, we encourage others to believe that they, too, can make a difference. Our personal experiences are powerful tools that not only inspire others but also deepen our own commitment to the incredible work we do.

I am confident that we will achieve great things this year — including making significant progress toward our MISSION 1.5 goal of reaching 1.5 million members by 2027. You are the heart and soul of our organization, so let’s all do our part to serve like only a Lion serves so you can Make Your Mark in the world.

At your service,

Fabrício Oliveira
International President, Lions Clubs International
