In July of 2025, there was a wonderful International Lions Convention in Orlando, Florida. The President of Lynn Haven Lions attended (and assisted as part of the hotel hospitality team!) A.P. Singh from India was installed as the new Lions International President. He gave a speech where he spoke about the "ovarian lottery." What is that? That means where, and how, you are born in this world. Did you win the lottery--or not? Some people are born into circumstances of privilege, because they are born into a wealthy country, or family, or both. Others in this world are born into poor families and/or poor countries with few or no resources. President Singh made the point that if you won the "lottery," you have an obligation and duty to help those who are less fortunate. What can you do? You can contact a local Lions Club to join. Lynn Haven has a club, and so does Panama City. They serve local, national and international populations. The Lions assist people with vision and hearing needs, in addition to addressing diabetes, world hunger, and much more. The Lynn Haven Lions have a focus on vision and hearing needs as well as literacy. They maintain a "Little Library" on Georgia Avenue near Lynn Haven Elementary. If you would like to learn more about serving others, please message this Lynn Haven Lions page for more information! The Lynn Haven Lions meet once a month for a lunch and business meeting.
