ROSA BRANCO
Cumberland, RI
1st VICE DISTRICT GOVERNOR

Last year we planted our saplings.  Now it is time to give them the attention and care they need to not only survive but flourish.  This applies to our Clubs as we monitor the development of our visible service projects and new fundraising efforts; as we motivate and engage our newest members so that they will grow in their commitment to Lionism; and as we provide our more mature membership with the supplements needed to stay healthy and strong.

This year as we work to together in “a world of service” I pledge to help DG Bill and his team in the quest to make this District stronger than ever.  Education promotes a healthy future.  Spreading literacy is the theme for this year and as Lions we have the ability to reach as we teach.  The opportunity to “serve” by setting aside some time to spread the joy of reading and learning will benefit all of us.

Pawtucket, RI
IMMEDIATE PAST DISTRICT GOVERNOR

The greatest need for our hands-on service is now.  We need to be on the front lines of a park clean up, a food or clothing drive, an environment project or a sight screening.  We must: recruit new members, share the joy and excitement of helping others, restore energy and enthusiasm to ailing clubs by engaging in active service, foster positive public relations from the ground up by being seen in action.

Our visibility will demonstrable a force of good in our local areas, district and world.  The more hands-on we are, the more our hearts (and those who see our efforts) will open to opportunity and service.

CABINET TREASURER
William D. Weber,
Rumford RI

As District Cabinet Treasurer, I look forward to Lion’s Year 2012 - 13 as a year of increased service in our communities and as year to grow and strengthen Lionism throughout District 42.  I promise to keep district financial records in order, provide timely reports, and assess dues and pay expenses as set forth in the district budget.  I look forward to working with DG Bill and the rest of his team to make 2012-2013 a successful, memorable, and fun year

CABINET SECRETARY
Donald Vinniti,
Rumford, RI.

I will strive to do all my secretarial duties as Cabinet Secretary and to support DG Bill in making our district grow and to serve the people of our district and the world.  I will not wear a dress or skirt whilst (a little Int’l flavor) taking minutes at the Cabinet and Advisory meetings.
