GOVERNOR
BECOMES MULTIPLE COUNCIL CHAIRMAN
The Insurance Man Lion Wilson Nathaniel Ndesanjo who was
District Governor for Sub District 411B (Tanzania-Uganda) has been promoted to the highest level in
Multiple District 411 as Multiple Council Chairman. The district comprises six countries, namely
Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Seychelles and South Sudan, added recently.
The Council of Governors which met early May during the
annual multiple district convention in Dar es Salaam , unanimously decided in
favour of Lion “Willy” as the next Multiple Council Chairman for the Lionistic
Year 2015/2016. During the past year, he worked as Secretary to the Multiple
Council under the MCC Lion Teja Kalsi.
This post which is a pinnacle status in the six-country
multiple district, traditionally rotates between the two sub districts namely
Sub District “A” (Kenya, Ethiopia, Seychelles) and Sub District 411 “B”
(Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan). Hence,
to keep the scale well balanced, the post of the Council Secretary also rotates
and in this case the PDG Davinder S. Earie ( 411A) will take up the post of
Secretary.
Not so long ago, just to refresh the memory of our
readers, Lion Teja S. Kalsi accompanied by spouse Gursharan ; and Lion Wilson N. Ndesanjo accompanied by spouse
Florense were together in Germany where
they were installed as District Governors along with 750 other Governors Elect
at that time.
As usual, although the new MCC Lion “Willy” is a
soft-spoken person but his charismatic attitude as a professional insurance man
and as a LION, intends to bring some changes in the multiple district,
particularly in his area of authority. Six new posts of District Officers will
be created to head major projects such as for conventions, diabetics, eye
sight, centennial celebrations etc. These posts will be handled by Past
District Governors.
The Centennial Celebrations which will be a mammoth
celebration to mark the 100th year since the creation of Lions Clubs
International in 1917. The LCI is one of
the oldest organization and is rated as the largest service organization in the
world. It is well recognized by the United Nations and almost all the Lions
Clubs numbering 46,622 observe a Day With United Nations.
For general information, the top leaders of the Multiple
District have already left for Honolulu,
Hawaii to attend the International Annual Convention. The convention will be
held from June 26 to 30.
And again for general information of the Lions and other
readers anxious to know about Lionism, as at end of May this year, LCI had
1,396,932 members in 46,622 clubs and 755 districts in 210 countries and
geographic areas. There were 371,707 Melvin Jones Fellow recipients and 71,450
Progressive Melvin Jones Fellow recipients.
