The Lions of "La Isla Bonita" will
join members of Belize Lions Zone 59 in beautiful Dangriga in the Stann Creek
District this month to celebrate their 25th Annual Convention April 26th to April 28th. The host club
has been working closely with Zone Chairman Dr. Chris Bennett to ensure that all
details are worked out for the conventioneers to have a fantastic time. This
year's theme is "Lions - Reacting to Current Needs". This theme was selected to
remind members of the need for Lions Clubs to change their focus to address the
present needs of the Belizean communities and to perhaps also change the way
they are doing things in their Club. In commemoration of
the Zone's 25 th Anniversary,
a fun-filled, educational and informative convention has been planned with some
minor changes made to the regular convention format. Zabaneh's Riverside Lawn on
North Riverside Street has been selected as this year's convention site where
most of the activities will take place. On Friday, April
26 th the official opening
ceremony will be held during a formal sit-down dinner followed by entertainment
and music. One of the most anticipated events of the convention, the Hospitality
Booth competition, will follow. On Saturday, April 27th the Zone will provide breakfast, free
of charge, at the convention site to encourage punctuality for the seminar. The
morning session will include the selection of a new Zone Chairman and Vice Zone
Chairman. Conventioneers will then participate in a special community project
during the afternoon. Saturday evening will showcase the cultural presentations
of each Lions Club Queen and each Club. The new Lions Zone 59 Queen will also be
crowned that evening followed by a Grand Dance. On Sunday, April 28th a church service will be held before
the parade of the Clubs through the principal streets of Dangriga. First and
second place plaques will be awarded to the best float and uniformed marching
delegation. The convention officially comes to a close on Sunday afternoon after
the distribution of awards. The San Pedro Lions Club,
under the leadership of Convention Chairperson Lion Melly Kumul, has plans to
attend this event in full force. The details are being worked out so that the
Club can once again make a lasting impression during the convention. The San
Pedro Lions Club Queen, Debbie Ann Graniel, is busily preparing for her
presentation, which is sure to delight the conventioneers. The San Pedro Lions Club takes this opportunity to
invite the general public to join them at this convention and share with the
Lionistic Family of Belize. Registration fees are as follows: Single Lions/Male
