ALL LIONS TO KISUMU

All Lions from Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Seychelles and Kenya are preparing to reach Kisumu (in Kenya) for the 11th Annual Multiple District Convention, an occasion which brings together hundreds of Lions from all the five countries under one umbrella. 

The District 411 is further split into two sub districts officially recognized as 411A currently spearheaded by District Governor Lion Teja S. Kalsi and Sub District 411B spearheaded by District Governor Lion Wilson N. Ndesanjo. Both the Governors will separately hold their respective Cabinet Meetings, the final meetings  which will review the performances of Lions Clubs in the five countries, their successes and failures in meeting club or district targets.

This will also be the occasion when Governors make their decision in recognizing best clubs, best district officers and give out appreciation awards to deserving hard-working Lions. 

The three-day convention will also see the elections of top leaders, such as for the post of District Governor, 1st Vice District Governor and Second Vice District Governor for both the sub districts. The newly elected governors will be recognized with a descriptive "elect" word until the current ones finish their respective terms by the end of June. 

More Information: Dar es Salaam: Two separate teams of Lions are expected to leave Dar es Salaam for Kisumu on Wednesday early morning. A team of six people, District Governor Lion Wilson Ndesanjo and Lady Florense; PDG Lion Abdul Majid Khan and Lady Parveen; Cabinet Secretary Lion Kishore Simzia and Cabinet Treasurer Lion Mohamed Lalji will fly directly to Kisumu.

The other bigger contingent of 35 Lions will also fly out of Dar es Salaam for Mwanza via Kilimanjaro where they will be joined by other Lions from Moshi and Arusha. More Lions will join them at Mwanza where they will travel over land by air-condition bus to Kisumu. 

Some more info: A senior Lion estimated that there might be a total of sixty Lions from Tanzania.
