I am so proud to report that Lions of Michigan Leadership Institute was attended by 5 District 10 Lions this year! I was honored to participate as an instructor this year but also very proud to have such a great representation from our District. I am hoping that their experience will inspire others to take advantage of this great opportunity next year!

The following are their comments:
- I appreciated the opportunity to attend. So many like-minded people gathered to learn and share experiences and ideas! Judy
- It was great to reconnect with people I haven’t seen in a while and meet new people – even from our own District. The food was plentiful and very good, accommodations more than adequate. Training was a great refresher for me and I did leave with some ideas from my other classmates. Jane
- Being a fairly new Lions member it was an honor to attend. Not only did I learn a lot about Lions but I met some pretty amazing people who opened their arms to me. The instructors not only teach lessons but at the end of the day, came to socialize and play cards with us – something I will cherish. I now have a much better understanding of how I can be a part of my club’s continuing success! Morgan
- The ELLI course was such fertile soil for not only club growth but personal growth. When they said “This is a safe place – no judgement” they meant it! You didn’t have to be afraid to raise your hand or admit you didn’t know something. Everyone equally needed guidance or provided guidance. Everyone there had the same passionate hearts to serve. It was truly a life changing experience that I will forever be grateful for. Sara
- I had a great time at Leadership Institute meeting with other Lions from all over the state. We were able to share ideas and experiences on how we can best serve our communities and ways in which we can try to find and create new Lions that will help carry the torch. Christian
