Introduction The USA Canada Forum was held in Reno, NV on September 21-23, 2023. Barb and I attended the forum. There were many sessions on leadership development and much great information was gleaned by those attending the sessions. District 1-A was represented well with 11 attending, including Barb and I, PID Bob Block, CS Brenda Block, 1st VDG Brenda Stevens and Mike, 2ndVDG Richard Moy & Edith, PDG Austin D’Souza, PDG Terri D’Souza, and Senior ZC Karl Schulz . MD-1 was well represented also with five Governors from the current Council, with an approximate grand total of 32 attendees from Illinois.
The District 1-A Candy Day Jamboree was held September 14, 2023, at 115 Bourbon Street in Marionette Park. The Event was well attended by clubs in our district and was a great success. A big thank you to our 2nd VDG Richard Moy for challenging the clubs and individuals present to meet or exceed his personal donation of $,000 to Lions of Illinois Foundation. A total over $2,000 was reached. If you club has not participated recently in Candy Day, I would love to see some new clubs consider participating this year. Even if you are no longer able to work the corners or raise funds in front of local businesses, perhaps consider raising funds virtually or raising money with another type of fund raiser. I would like to give a friendly reminder to all clubs to remember
