Dear Fellow Lions and Leos,

It is with great pride and pleasure that I look forward to a great journey ahead accompanied by all of you. Thank you for honoring me as your District Governor for the Lionistic year 2022-2023.  

International President Brian Sheehan's theme is “Together We Can.”  Let us open our hearts to the communities, continue our service, show what we do and take this opportunity to invite others to become members of our wonderful family of Lions.  We need to encourage Lionism so we may strengthen our membership. By doing so, we can all support LCIF as well as our other State and District Projects.

These past years we all faced challenges that we never thought possible, but with our Compassion to Serve we were able to make it through. We found innovative ways to serve, meet within our clubs and somehow even raise funds. Let us continue building upon what we have and make our District stronger than ever. 

Thank you for your support and I look forward to serving together.

Yours in Service,

Lion Kam Patel

District Governor 16N

2022-2023
