Exciting News from the 27A1 District Convention: “Take Action, Serve!”
The 27-A1 District Convention is January 3-5, 2025 at the Ingleside Hotel in Pewaukee, and we’re thrilled to unveil an action-packed agenda that embodies our theme: “Take Action, Serve!” This year’s convention promises to be a transformative experience filled with opportunities to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact.
Blood Drive: Give the Gift of Life
One of the most important ways we can serve our community is by donating blood. This year, we’re partnering with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive during the convention. Donors will have the chance to save lives and make a tangible difference. Bring your friends, family, and fellow Lions—every drop counts!
CPR/AED Certification: Be Prepared to Act
In line with our theme, we are offering a comprehensive CPR/AED certification course. This vital skill not only prepares you to act in emergencies but also empowers you to make a real difference in critical situations. Don’t miss this opportunity to become certified and enhance your ability to serve with confidence.
Seminars to Empower and Inspire
Our convention features a diverse range of seminars designed to enhance your skills and expand your horizons:
- Starting a Leo Club: Learn how to ignite the passion of young leaders in your community by starting a Leo Club. This session will provide practical steps and insights to help you foster the next generation of service-minded individuals.
- Diabetic Cooking: Discover delicious and healthy recipes tailored for diabetic individuals. This seminar will equip you with knowledge to support and advocate for healthier living within your community.
- Service = Membership: Explore the powerful connection between service and membership growth. Understand how impactful service projects can attract and retain dedicated members, strengthening our Lions family.
- District Cabinet Positions: Gain insight into the roles and responsibilities of district cabinet positions. This is a great chance to learn how you can contribute more significantly to our district’s success.
A Special Celebration: Helen Keller Impressionist
We are honored to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Helen Keller’s iconic speech to the Lions. To mark this milestone, we will feature a remarkable Helen Keller impressionist who will bring her powerful message to life. This performance will be a poignant reminder of our mission to serve and a tribute to our commitment to the visually impaired.
Live entertainment on Saturday night!
