Dear Lions and Leos,<\/p>\n

I want to thank you all for giving me the amazing opportunity to serve as chairperson of Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) this year.<\/p>\n

Because of you, this past year was just awesome! I hope you will enjoy reading this year\u2019s annual report, which highlights some of the incredible things your support makes possible for people in need.<\/p>\n

Throughout the year, I was continuously inspired by the breadth and depth of service Lions and Leos provided because of our global foundation. Together, we meet the needs in our communities every day in so many ways. Our worldwide reach is truly remarkable because of the work we can do through LCIF.<\/p>\n
