Rep. Jason Altmire (D-PA)
delivered a one-minute speech on the House Floor on Dec. 8, 2011
in honor of Lions, garnering increased support for H.R. 2139/S.1299.
This proposed bill would create the Lions Clubs International
Commemorative Coin, an effort that would help raise $8 million for
humanitarian and disaster relief work around the world.
Lions will celebrate their 67-year humanitarian partnership with the
United Nations at Lions Day With the United Nations at U.N. headquarters
in New York on March 16, 2012.
Past Lions Days with the United Nations have focused on shared goals
and opportunities for collaboration with U.N. agencies such as UNICEF
and UNESCO. As in past years, the grand prize winner of this year's
Lions International Peace Poster Contest will be announced.
The event is open to any Lion or Leo who wishes to attend but
registration is required. Space is limited so please make your
reservation early by contacting the Program Development department.
