May was a busy month preparing for the
Oklahoma Lions State Convention. It
proved to be successful thanks for those
who worked so hard.
Special thanks to the Hosting Clubs! And
especially to: Midwest City Lions Club and
OKC Westside Lions Club for the delicious
hospitality suite and the smooth registra-
tion table! Thanks also to Sue Thompson
for serving as committee Chair, and CC
Jacque Mooney for all her work. We are
truly blessed to have so many caring Lions
in Oklahoma.
Good News for the Ok Lions State Pro-
jects! The Ok State Council voted to allow
OLSF to apply for a Mobile Health Screen-
ing Unit matching grant through LCIF for
$50K. This will allow us to renovate, and
purchase new equipment including Kid’s
Sight Cameras. Now we need to match this
in donations. We currently have $3,700
raised and four Lions who have pledged
$1,000 each. This will help us to reach our
goals and improve our Mobile Health
Screening in Oklahoma. Now we need to
raise funds for the MHSU more than ever
to help improve services and reach more
Oklahoman’s with prevention screenings.
Please consider this if you have been
touched by the unit!
The Ok Lions Eye Bank is also getting the
clean room this month for the new Micro-
keratome machine. Lori Miller, Executive
Director, had a updated presentation at the
State Convention.
The other good news is the Irrevocable
Trust was approved for transfer to the Ok-
lahoma City Community Foundation with
the approved changes to the Irrevocable
Trust By-Laws. This is especially good for
the Meadows of Hope because they will
be applying for matching grants bringing
the total from 1.2M to 2.2M over a period
of four years! This will increase their annu-
al income by $50K!
Cowboy Cadillac! We have the Cowboy
Cadillac Tickets and Posters available now
for this year’s premier fundraiser! We se-
cured a sponsorship in Bartlesville Oklaho-
ma, though Patriot GMC Hyundai, thanks
to the surrounding clubs. If you have not
already received your tickets we handed
out at the State Convention, we will be
handing them out on Saturday June 10,
2017 at the next State Council meeting. We
are also excited to host the drawing a little
earlier on November 11, 2017, Veterans
Day!
The Oklahoma Lions are definitely Serv-
ing!
State Convention Success! Marie Burns, OLSF Executive Director
Thanks to all who attended our 100th State
Convention! 100 years of service for Okla-
homa Lions. If you missed it, you missed a
good time of reminiscing about the past,
looking forward to our next 100 years and
our International guest, ID N. Alan
Lundgren from Arizona and his Partner in
Service Terry Pressell. They were delight-
ful. We had some very good speakers, dis-
plays from our state projects, our state board
meetings and had elections in our new dis-
tricts. I think we elected some very capable
leaders and we thank them for stepping up!
Thanks to all who helped behind the scenes:
you know who you are--I don't want to for-
get someone! Those who blew up balloons,
assembled center pieces, ran errands, and
just generally kept me somewhat sane! We
have some wonderful Lions!
I apologize to the Boneyard for having
Chicken Fried Steak with NO GRAVY! I
know that is unthinkable and I guess I did
not even think that I needed to specify gra-
vy! (I think the chef may have been a Yan-
kee!). On the good side it was very tender.
We all survived and for the record, Oklaho-
ma Lions have been serving for 100 years!
Now on to the next 100 and to Chicago!
Thank you all!

State Convention Chair 2017

Coming to an End: Another end of a Li-
ons year is upon us. As I reflect back over
the past 5 years, it has been a roller coaster
of good times, emotions, trials and errors. I
mostly reflect on the good times. It has
been very rewarding and “wow” an experi-
ence beyond measures. I love what I’ve
learned as a leader, earning my Bachelor
and Masters in Leadership. I value the
friends I’ve made along the way and will
always treasure you. I treasure those who
were there for me during the tough times
and those of you who were there during the
fun times, I guess I’m saying I treasure
each of you! If I didn’t make it to visit
your club this past year as your District
Governor, I do apologize, however, I do
plan to one day come visit as your Past
District Governor.
The convention was a great success be-
cause everyone participated and everyone
came together as a team player. Thank
you, ID Howard and Lynn Hudson, for
coming and being part of this great experi-
ence. I hope everyone has learned some-
thing this year that you can take with you
for many years to come. Lions is a great
community organization and with that said,
invite your family and friends to join and
be part of this awesome family! As they
join and learn what we all know, their own
family and friends will join which will help
us to grow and strengthen our pride. It will
cause each of us to do more and more for
the community in which we live. Remem-
ber we will be going from 5 Districts to 3
Districts and I am sure all Districts will
appreciate any help you can offer to help
them along the way.
We need young members. Have you
? What have you and your club done
to recruit and maintain new mem-
bers? Orientation is a great tool to use
when you have new members. Do you
make them feel welcome and an important
part of the family? They are important to us
and our future as Lions. We need them to
assist us in accomplishing our ambitious
goals. We must serve more people in more
ways than ever before. That means partner-
ing with young people and engaging these
future leaders of Lions clubs and our com-
munities. Every district, club and Lion has
the opportunity to help mentor and guide
these young leaders of our community by
engaging them in service and giving them a
voice in Lions.
Lions get ready to celebrate your Centenni-
al in the place where it all began! Lions
Clubs International is planning a magnifi-
cent celebration of Lions and for Lions in
Chicago. Highlights of the many activities
scheduled throughout convention week
include the three plenary sessions, the fes-
tive International Parade of Nations,
thought provoking guest speakers, a spec-
tacular international show, and the installa-
tion of our 2017-2018 International Presi-
dent. Chicago is a perfect setting for you
and your fellow Lions, Lionesses and Leos
to come together in “The City Where It All
Began.” The Chicago convention also of-
fers a unique opportunity for you to visit
LCI’s International Headquarters in Oak
Brook, just 30 minutes west of the city,
where you will be able to take a self-guided
tour of headquarters, get your picture taken,
and meet our many staff members who will
be there to welcome you. Register today

The year is drawing to a close and I
have truly enjoyed serving as your District
Governor. The Lions of Oklahoma have
engraved upon my heart memories that will
last a lifetime. THANK YOU to each and
every one for making this year special. A
special thank you goes to the Lions of
Ardmore! No club can match your excel-
lence in putting a convention together. I
cannot forget PID Pat Shurley not only for
her guidance and support she gave me
throughout the year but she is the one who
able to get the Lions International President
Chancellor Bob Corlew to our District
Convention.
At the Oklahoma Lions State Conven-
tion I had the opportunity to thank several
Lions with awards that said thank you for
service above and beyond. VDG Nancy
Cook-Sen (Shawnee Lions) is the 3K Dis-
trict Lion of the Year. VDG Nancy is a
Lion that sees needs and meets them and if
you ask she will do what is necessary to get
the job done. I was very fortunate and hon-
ored to have her as my VDG. Nancy has
agreed to serve another term as VDG for
the Southwest District.
Another Lion that I think everybody
knows, PDG Stephanie Pettit (Atoka Lions)
won the International President’s Medal.
She is a Lion that believes in what Lions do
and goes far and above what is expected of
any Lion. PDG Stephanie does hold sever-
al positions as a Lion but her most notable
work is with the new comers, she really
makes them not only feel welcome but in-
doctrinates them into Lionism.
At the District Convention I had the
privilege to honor PDG Mike Elliot (Atoka
Lions) with a Presidential Certificate and at
the State Convention PDG Larry Bailey
(Wewoka Lions) was also honored with a
Presidential Certificate. Both of these Li-
ons served as mentors for me for several
years and it was an honor to publicly thank
them for their leadership, guidance, support
and not laughing at all my silly questions.
The Dr. Robert “Bob” McCullough Merito-
rious Service Award is presented to a Lion
who has been a Lion for at least five years
and displayed meritorious service in the
performance of Lionistic activities. This
award is named for and honors Dr. Bob
McCullough, a Past International Director
and International President of Lions Clubs
International from Tulsa. This year my
father PDG Les Walker (Seminole Lions),
2017 Dr. Bob McCullough winner, had the
distinct pleasure of awarding PDG Ferril
Williamson (Wewoka Lions) with the
McCullough award. It gave me great pleas-
ure to see such a caring and deserving Lion
receive this award. PDG Ferril and his
wife Phyllis have been two special mentors
for me. They not only serve Lions tireless-
ly but also their community.
The most special Lion I would like to rec-
ognize is “you” for the support you gave
with no recognition or praise, you simply
served. Your service has and will make an
impact on some one’s life. Is that not why
we are Lions?
If you have heard me speak, you have
probably heard me use this quote; “Work
for a cause, not for applause. Live life to
express, not to impress. Don’t strive to
make your presence noticed just make your
absence felt.” – Unknown. I would like to
meet unknown someday because I know if
Unknown was not a Lion, they had the
heart of one. I will continue to not only use
this quote but also try my best to live by it.
I know without a doubt that all the Lions
that received awards did not do it for recog-
nition but rather from the heart of service.
Once again thank you for a great year as
your District Governor. It is a privilege,
honor, and pleasure to serve with each and
every Lion.

For my final article, I have one last favor to
ask. With one month remaining, we are with-
in reach of having positive membership
growth for the first time in a while. Please
invite somebody to your meeting and/or ser-
vice projects. The key is to ask. If you ask,
they may say no; if you do not ask, you are
saying no for them. We want a strong finish
for 3-H!
