Hello Zone C-4 Lions! It’s been a fun and busy month so far, we had our final official District Gov-ernor’s Advisory Meeting last Friday night, (better known as Zone Meeting) what a great turn out, about 38 people showed up for food, fun and information! I want to thank the McDermott’s for a great program on Public Relations in Lions it was very informative. I want to thank Silverdale Sunrise Lions and Harold and Nancy for hosting this event. And last but not least I want to congratulate Bremerton Central’s own Jim Lamb for stepping up and becoming our Zone Chair for 2016-2017. This man not just nice, he has quite a resume! Jim has been in Lions for 39 years, he has served in every office of his club, he is presently the secre-tary of his club for the third year, Lion of the year twice, a Melvin Jones Fellow, sponsored 18 members into Lionism, the list goes on and on. Lion Jim Lamb you are all this and more. And to top it off, just a really nice guy! Thank you so much for stepping up, with your experience and Lion enthu-siasm we are very blessed to have you. So how many of you are going to the District C Convention April 1&2? If you haven’t thought about it please do, it’s a lot of fun and we have great speakers this year.
