    2020-2021 DG Lion Anne Dechaine

    As your newly inducted A5 District Governor, I offer these few words.
    Firstly, a heartfelt thank you for your support. With full dedication I will do my best to
    represent all A5 Lions.
    During this global pandemic, Einstein’s quote: “In the middle of every difficulties lies
    opportunity” resounds. Let us all take this as our challenge this coming year. As we ride
    the COVID 19 wave, let us be innovative and creative and let us empower each other
    and our clubs to redefine our services. A Lion’s purpose is humanitarian service; much
    needed during challenges throughout all times.
    Also, 2020 is our year for celebration – 100 years of Canadian service.
    Therefore, together, INSPIRIT, as we serve, let us shine even more. Our opportunity rises
    in this challenging time.
