Members of the Lions Clubs of Belize
Convention Committee with the exception of Stann Creek rendezvoused in
Belize City last Sunday to plan for this upcoming event. The meeting was
held at the Belize City Lions Clinic and was presided over by District 59
Convention Chairman Lion Carlos Santos of the Belmopan Lions Club.
It was decided at the meeting that the general agenda
of the convention remain with only a few minor changes to the three day
program. This year the National Convention will be held in Belmopan at
the Belmopan Convention Hotel on April
28th,
29th and
30th. The convention
will feature individual booth displays from participating clubs, a
cultural presentation, seminars, the election of Lion Governor,
individual queen presentations and a parade. In addition to this, a new
concept is being adapted this year. Conventioneers will unite to make a
lasting district project while at the convention. The Belmopan Lions Club
has settled on a tree-planting project in various areas. Each club has
been challenged to plant as many trees as members. Projects similar to
this one are expected to be done at other annual conventions.
Representatives of each club will now go back to their
respective clubs and pass on the message. The Belmopan Lions Club has
started preparations for this convention and are expecting a large
delegation to attend. The San Pedro Lions Club, as usual, will attend in
full force for this first Lions Convention of the new century.
Representing the San Pedro Lions Club at the meeting were Convention
Chairman of San Pedro, Lion Felix Ayuso and Cabinet Secretary/Treasurer,
Lion Ruben Gonzalez. District Governor Lion Leo Cuellar attended the
meeting having just arrived from Panama where he attended a Lions
Conference. More information on the convention will be published in
upcoming issues of the San Pedro
Sun.
