LION District Governor Marvin Grant, District Governor for Sub District 60B was guest of the Lions and Leos of Zone 3B when he conducted the annual audit of clubs in Saint Lucia during last week.
The District governor was also fortunate to be the guest at the First Zone meeting for Zone 3B. The audits were conducted in a businesslike yet cordial manner.
During the visit Grant was able to visit the Saint Lucia Blind Welfare Association and got an insight into the work that the Association is doing in collaboration with the Lions and Leos of Zone 3B. He also visited the Odsan Combined School, where the Leo Club of Castries had recently completed the painting of two of the classrooms.
During the tour of the school Grant was fortunate to participate for a brief moment in the La Marguerite flower festival which the school was celebrating.
In his address at the Zone Meeting the District Governor said he was pleased with the work undertaken by the clubs. He however highlighted that there was room for improvement and urged clubs to conduct the community needs assessment so that they will be targeting the needs of the community.
He implored clubs to strive to improve efficiency and effectiveness by better understanding of their roles; reacquainting with the organizational practices; conducting relevant workshops for example, leadership development, so there will be a cadre of members ready to take up the mantle of leadership; and better understanding and practice of the Code of Ethics.
He indicated that in order to do this, members, should take advantage of all the tools available at the club, district and international level.
