The Lions Clubs of Multiple District 5M (MD5M) held their annual conference in Minneapolis on April 24-25. Among the many speakers was International President A. P. Singh of Kolkata, India. Throughout the weekend various activities were held and there were many opportunities to visit Lions Club members from across Minnesota, Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. Worldwide Induction Day was April 25. That was a special moment for Lions to spotlight their club’s growth and welcome new Lions with pride. IP Singh spoke to a large group of new Lions Club members directly and shared the new adventures ahead of them as a Lion. His message was a great reminder for all the Lions of why we are Lions.
