The Convention is underway here in lovely Bossier City, LA.  We had a great  morning session with lots of informative sessions including sessions about  Lions on Facebook, the Cubsight Program, being a District Officer, and being  a good Secretary using Electronics.

Lunch was delicious and we were joined by former LA Governor,  Charles  “Buddy” Roemer , who charged the Lions to help make a change in our  Education system.  The dinner was fantastic and our International Guest gave a wonderful speech which reflected on some of his experiences with Lionism related to helping after the 9/11 attacks.  After the dinner,  of course the fun was just beginning as Delta Lions hosted Lions in their hospitality room and we continued to party until the wee hours of the morning.

Sunday morning, we all got up to cast our vote. At the breakfast, we heard a touching speech of appreciation of the Lions from Jinny Henson,  a local comedian spreading a ross the nation.  As convention is coming to a close,  we can say it was a successful one.  Congratulations to all of the newly elected officials our our district and state and we look forward to the things in store for the upcoming year.

Stay tuned for more information on next years convention,  which will be held in Lake Charles, LA from April 20-22, 2012.
