Celebrate Success

Hello, Lions!

I can’t believe my year as your international president is already coming to a close. But when I look back at the places I visited and the many faces I saw, I am humbled by the sheer scale of the work we do as Lions. We’ve had such incredible success!

As we bring this Lion year to a close, let’s take a moment to reflect on our year and all the good work that we did.

Remember, success can take many different forms. Yes, success is when you complete a meaningful service project or raise the required amount of funds to keep things rolling next year.

But when you are a Lion, success is also the smile you get from the girl entering kindergarten with a new backpack she got from Lions. Success is when the city council sees your tent up at the local fair and thinks of reaching out for help with a cleanup project at the park. Success is the young professional who joins because they were looking for a way to give back and found a welcoming home in Lions.

While it’s our instinct to notice the things that need fixing, let’s also notice all that is right. Here’s to you, Lions. Serving as your international president has been the experience of a lifetime!

Make a great day,

Brian E. Sheehan

International President, Lions Clubs International
