​“Together We Can!”
PictureDG Debbie Mansell
 
Lions Club International’s President Brian Sheehan has chosen “Together We Can” for his theme this year.  What an inspiring phrase that sets the tone for our 2022-2023 Lions year.  Globally and locally, our clubs have struggled through the pandemic but now are returning to meeting in person and embracing the renewed fellowship. Service projects waned or least changed in the past 2 years, but our club signature projects are rebounding and coming back strong. Our club memberships have dipped but they too are on an upward trend.  Lions in District G are resilient.  Our members, clubs, zones, and district already practice the “Together We Can” theme!
​
District G clubs enjoy collaborating with other service organizations and other clubs in their zone.  For example, clubs in Zone 3 work together to maintain a walking trail and they also collaborate with a prison to bring unwanted bicycles back to life for local kids.  Clubs in Zone 2 worked together at the Ilani Casino, raising funds to help support their club’s projects.  Lions’ clubs over the entire district collaborate with school districts to provide the state-mandated vision screening for their enrolled children.  These are just a few examples of our District G’s “Together We Can” positive attitude.

We learned on June 4th that a new opportunity awaits District G this year as we begin our preparation for the merger of Districts G and C.  I commend the Redistricting Strategic Planning Committee for the endless hours they have devoted to this process.  There will be many more hours dedicated to this effort by the District G and C Merger Committees as we move forward and develop the plan to form the new District 19-N.     I am confident that our district Lions will embrace this opportunity to make our Multiple District 19 even stronger.  I’m excited for our district to start this new journey!   I believe that our positive outlook, creative collaboration, and focused determination will make this a smooth transition.  There will be some challenges; it won’t always be easy but “Together We Can.”

Lions - The World's Largest Service Club Organization
​​

Our 46,000 clubs and 1.4+ million members make us the world's largest service club organization. We're also one of the most effective. Our members do whatever is needed to help their local communities. 

Everywhere we work we make friends; with children who need eyeglasses, with seniors who don't have enough to eat, and with people we may never meet.

Clubs in District 19G are in western Washington State from Clearwater-Kalaloch, then south along the coast, then east, covering southwest Washington as far east as Lyle, Washington.
