Dear fellow Lions,

I'm truly humbled and privileged to work alongside our District Governor Rogel and with his entire  Cabinet and leadership team. My goal is to support and live out Governor Rogel's unifying call in faith, hope and love. I pledge to  be personally with each of you on the frontlines of our community needs, growing together with hands-on service, joy in what we do, and with genuine compassion. May each of us be a light in the darkness for so many lives. Let's keep roaring Lionism. Lets unite to bring new members to join us in this great tradition of service. "It's  great to be a Lion" in our District in New Jersey. Let's also remember that we are also a vital part of an incredible international Club and movement of transformative power and love for the world.

Yours in Service and unifying  peace,

John JD Schweska,

First Vice District Governor, 2024-2025 

Dear Fellow Lions,

I am humbled and honored to serve as your 2nd Vice District Governor. I want to thank each of you for electing me to this position.

As a member of the District Governor’s team, I am committed to fulfilling the District Governor’s vision of serving with hope, faith, and love. Let’s make a positive impact by serving with love, compassion, and humility. Let's all remain dedicated to our call to service, “where there is a need, there’s a Lion.” Lions are a beacon of hope and light for many communities around the world. In times of disaster or humanitarian crisis, and through funding and support for research in Diabetes or preventable blindness, we continue to uphold our role as the Knights of the Blind. Our mission begins locally but our reach is global.  I encourage you to consider donating to LCIF’s Empowering Service Fund when possible. 

This year, let’s commit to growing our Lions’ Pride in 16J by recruiting at least 1 new member for each of our clubs. Let's open our hearts and minds to serve our communities with more hands and build stronger clubs. Remember, to Ask 1 today.

Together in service and Lionism,

 Lion Subarna Sahni
