We had a fantastic time at the District 12 N Lions Convention in Farragut this past weekend! The Lions’ energy was inspiring, and DG Nate Hughes held a great convention. Plus, it was a real highlight to hear from International Director Mark Mansell and his wife Debbie that visited from Washington State!

With all district conventions done, we’re gearing up for the TN Lions State Convention in Clarksville at month’s end. Chelsea and I also got to enjoy some personal time in Knoxville where we enjoyed a nice dinner date at Calhoun’s on the River and explored new towns we’ve never been too in East Tennessee.

Even though I was unable to there, I heard they had a lot of people coming to ask questions! Looking forward to Monday night!

Had a great time at the District 12-O Convention in Crossville, Tennessee this past weekend! 🇺🇸

DG Steve did an outstanding job, and the “America 250” theme was a perfect fit. It was a fun, well put together convention with great fellowship all around. It was also an honor to hear from and meet ID Gary Steele and his wife Elizabeth. They are a wonderful couple and truly represent Lionism well.

And I’ll say this… they may have had just a little more people than we did at our convention, but who’s counting, right? 😄

Now we’re headed to Knoxville this weekend for the District 12-N Convention. Looking forward to another great time!

Well done to DG Steve and the entire 12-O crew for a memorable event!

Chelsea and I had a great time this weekend with the Lions of West Tennessee at their convention in Jackson!

It was a pleasure hearing from International Director Melissa Washburn from New Mexico, who shared some great insight and encouragement with everyone. District Governor Sam Jones and his team did an excellent job putting together a fantastic convention.

I didn’t get called up to dance for a donation like I did at our convention in Lewisburg, so I’d say that’s a win for everyone involved! 😂

Always a great time being around fellow Lions who truly embody the spirit of service. 🦁

I am absolutely over the moon about what a great District 12-I Lions Clubs Convention we had in Lewisburg a couple weeks ago! The turnout was incredible! I honestly don’t think we have had that many Lions at a district convention in a long time. The room was full of fellowship, laughter, and a whole lot of Lions spirit.

A big thank you to everyone who came out and helped make the weekend such a success. It was great seeing so many friends, sharing ideas, and celebrating the service happening all across our district.

We were honored to have Past International Director Justin Faber with us from the great state of Michigan. He did a fantastic job… although I’m still not sure how he managed to talk me into dancing in front of everyone! Apparently, if you wave a monetary donation toward our Rise Against Hunger project, I’ll embarrass myself for a good cause. Who knew?

Thankfully, the donation was worth it… and hopefully the video evidence disappears soon. THANK YOU PID JUSTIN!

Now the Lions train keeps rolling! This weekend we’re heading to Jackson for the Lions of West Tennessee Convention. If it’s anything like Lewisburg, we’re in for another great time.

Lions serving, Lions laughing, and sometimes Lions dancing… all for a great cause. 🦁

Grateful for a powerful month of service, Thanksgiving fellowship, and Lions who keep the alive. Onward to a meaningful December!
