Past District Governors

Each Lions Club is part of a Lions District.  The District consists of approzimately 50 Lions Clubs and it is quite an honor to be elected to the position of Distict Governor.  The District Governor coordinates many events throughout the district and spends a lot of time visiting all of the clubs that are a part of the district.  The Wyoming Lions Club has had the honor of two members having served as a District Governor.  We thank them for their service and dedication to the Lions motto of "We Serve".
