Lions Club International
101st yr. Convention was held June 29, 2018 to July 3, 2018
at MGM Grand, Las Vegas. How can one describe such an awesome
experience? In 1925 Helen Keller challenged the Lions to be
the Knights of the Blind. From eyesight conservation, Diabetes
to high tech My Lion, membership >1.4millions, and millions
of people served....We started early to go to Las Vegas....went
to Peggy Sue Diner, Yermo, CA and enjoyed the yummy food with
so many memorabilia like Elvis Presley.....We checked in in
MGM Grand where most of the action was. There were so many
Lions from all over the world, some friendly some not...Lion
Pam Pahnke was wonderful. There were a lot of activities.
We proceeded to registration. One can only use transparent
bags for safety reason. We socialized and ate with Lion Carol
Boyer at Wolfgang Puck. We attended several seminars, went
to the stores, exhibits, walked.....walked.....walked. I've
never walked as much as I've walked there. There were so many
Lions from different countries wearing beautiful costumes.
We had dinner at the Grand Buffet, so yummy. We watched an
amazing show, Cirque Soleil. We enjoyed the monorail. Dr.
Sonjay Gupta was fantastic, spoke about Diabetes, statistics.
President Naresh Aggarwal was amazing. The days were of recognition
of past president, past officers, members running for office,
different flags, Lions, Leos, projects, entertainment, socialization,
networking.....There's pride in being a Lion, WE SERVE.
