JUNE 2012
I celebrate with you my fellow Lions, Lionesses, Leos for achieving all of our goals this year. At the Council of Governor’s Meeting in June our District was singled out as the District with the highest net growth in membership. We also were recognized for having chartered three Lions Clubs and three Leo Clubs. We are the only District that achieved a Cyber Lions Club and a Campus Lions Club in Multiple District 19 this year. They are innovative and new to the Lions family. We can all be proud to be part of the future of Lions Clubs International. I sincerely thank all of you for uniting our District as the strength of the clubs has created unity within our District.
I would like to extend a special thanks to each Zone Chairperson for going the extra distance starting in Wenatchee at the Zone School in June 2011. At our first meeting we all agreed on the District goals and strategized on their implementation for our new year. I am blessed to have had the privilege of working with each of you this year and could never have had the success without your dedication and support.

With a special thanks to our Spring Conference Committee for putting on a conference with record breaking attendance of 420 registrants. District I Governor Al Beddows and Mrs. Dorothy Neills from District D were invited as judges found the experience very exciting and gave them good ideas to take back to their districts.
I learned this year that communication is key to our success. It is crucial that cabinet minutes and other information be share with our membership. This has created a bond and synergy within our District
As my year as District Governor comes to a close I find my service to all of you very humbling and uplifting. The friendship and memory of all my visits to your clubs have found a place in my heart for ever. I look forward to continue working on the projects that we have not finished yet and continue to ensure the growth and unity that we have developed in our District. I sincerely thank you all for making this the best year imaginable.
Yours in Lionism, DG Linda Wong
LEO Clubs – Inves ng in t he Future
By PZC Karl Ostheller
Wow! The end of the Lions year is nearly here. It is also the time when a LEO club is really flourishing or has gone into hibernation mode until next fall. Kudos for this past year go the following clubs. Leading the way are the District 19-H LEO’s with clubs in Guildford, Langley, Kwantlen Park, Barnet Pinetree, Surrey, San Juan, and the new club in Coupeville.
The clubs in this district have been active, growing and heavily involved in community projects. In District 19-E, the outstanding clubs have been in Priest River and Golden. The Warden LEO’s continue to be the LEO force in District 19-D, while District 19-C has the Bonney Lake LEO’s, the outstanding club at North Mason, the Bremerton HS LEO’s, and the three LEO clubs sponsored by the Poulsbo Lions.
Saving the best for last, District 19-A once again has the MD19 “LEO of the Year,” Julie Lym, who comes from the Vancouver West LEO Club. This is a
club with outstanding projects and great leadership from their advisors and membership.
