District Convention
This past weekend, the MD-6NE Convention was held at the Embassy Suites in Loveland. The convention was well-planned and executed, and fifteen of our members attended. Of considerable significance, our own Lion Ron Lockner was elected as District Governor. Lion Ron has provided excellent leadership in his role as 1st Vice District Governor, and Lions Ron and Faye have visited each of the 49 clubs in the District, which is quite an achievement. Also, Lions Ron and Faye celebrated their 45th Wedding Anniversary. Congratulations to Lions Ron and Faye! In addition, Lion Mike Reager was elected as 1st Vice District Governor and Lion Steve Leroux was elected as 2nd Vice District Governor. Each of the speech contestants did an excellent job, and the only disappointment was that our speech contestant, Devon Tivona, did not win.
