President's Message
Changing the World with International President Dr.Patti Hill
Dear Lion,
You are making such a big difference in people’s lives every single day. Now imagine how much more your club could accomplish if everyone in your community knew of all the good they could do as part of your club.
Let’s show our pride in our clubs by shining a light on our service every day. We are the global leader in humanitarian service, and we need to make sure that our communities know how we serve and how they can participate. Let’s use great marketing and communication to show our communities that we are changing lives—and that they can change the world with us by becoming Lions and Leos.
Yours in service,
Dr. Patti Hill International President
Show Your Pride
