Fellow Lions,
When I was campaigning, I introduced my slogan for my term: FAMILY, which is an acronym for Fostering A More Involved Lion in You. It is both a rallying cry and my own personal reality.
My family, the Valera Family Unit, has grown more involved in Lions and become a backbone of my club and the District. I encourage all of you to do the same, recruiting your own family members and friends close enough to be considered family to join you in your service journey and become Lions, and make your club stronger.
Likewise, during my term, I hope our District can join together as one Lions family, learning and growing with each other and working together to further our District goals.
And as a family, we should be reaching out and involving those Lions and clubs who may need a helping hand. Those who have been affected and continue to be affected by the pandemic. Those who are losing members, or are unable to find new leaders to take on the mantle. Those that want to serve, but don’t know how, or know how but just need some help to get the job done.
I know in our District, we also have many strong clubs who are out there serving and have been serving, even during the worst of the pandemic. I salute you for your efforts, and ask you to keep up the good work.
But as we know, wherever you look, there is still a great need. I am confident that by being more inclusive, and involving all the Lions and Leos of District 4-C4, together as one family, we can accomplish anything.
