GOVERNOR'S CLUB VISITATIONS IN UGANDA

Governor Lion Wilson N. Ndesanjo has successfully completed visitations of all the Lions Clubs and Leo Clubs in Uganda and a quick assessment indicates that the Governor's District Goals and that of the International President Barry Palmer are being well followed and implemented.

The Uganda sector of Sub District 411B has a strength of 21 clubs and several Leo Clubs which are being involved time-and-again in projects either conducted by the sponsoring clubs or sometimes on their own.The top leadership of the sub district and the Governor himself have been working on increasing more quality members and at least opening of four new clubs this Lionistic Year.

Since the Lionistic Year started in July this year, 93 new members were recorded but the impressive number sizzled down to net gain of only 17 members due to the fact that 67 Lions left their clubs due one reason or the other. All along emphasis has been on "closing the exit door" except for logical reasons.

The Sub District 411B has been short of the required minimum number of 1250 members so as to be recognized and keep afloat as a sub district. 

The District Governor's entourage was well impressed to install 12 new members to the existing 78 active Lions of Lions Club of Kampala Central. This is the biggest and most active club of 90 members in East Africa. The target is to have another ten more Quality Members and also to open a branch club this year.

Uganda Sector has already fulfilled the Governor's dream of forming two new clubs during his term of reign as Governor. 

The Governor is now in Dar es Salaam for another three weeks or so and will embark on club visitations programme in Tanzania begining with the first lap in northern Tanzania. The first lap will begin on 21st November and it will be a visit to Lions Club of Kilimanjaro, the first club where the Governor began his Lionistic career and the Kilimanjaro Region being his original birth area. After visiting some clubs in Moshi and Arusha he will drive to Tanga, a coastal historic town where he will see the activities of the Tanga Club.
