I'm back and ready for a terrific year for 5M7. Wow, what a trip. Lots of work. Great fun. Interesting. Educational. What more could one ask of an International Convention. Next year will be even better, and all of you can attend.
Now is the time to keep 5M7 "Movin' forward".

The Blaine Lions are sad to announce the passing of Lion Glenn Muirhead. Lion Glenn was a long time member of our club and his presence will be sorely missed. Funeral arrangements are not yet firmed up, but I will post the details here for any Lions that want to pay their last respects to Lion Glenn

It appears the tornado in Hugo and Coon Rapids didn't get any Lions, but there was a lot of damage and one small life was lost in Hugo. This is a good time for clubs in 5M7 to take a look at the LCI ALERT program for Lions to get involved to help their communities with all the other First Responders. Go to the LCI website at "Lionsclubs.org" and type in ALERT under search.

It appears that PDG Larry is going to be OK. After some testing and feeling better, he is home again.

I received a message from PDG Ken Steies today saying that PDG Larry Kounkel has been taken to the hospital with possible stroke symptoms. More information to follow when available
