WE SERVE
Welcome to the official website of the Lions of District 31-L. I hope you find this site both encouraging and informative.
As I begin my term as District Governor, I encourage you to contact me with any questions or concerns. If you are not currently a Lion, I invite you to consider participating in one of our service projects in your area. Lions offer a wide range of ongoing service opportunities that strengthen communities in many meaningful ways. While vision remains our primary focus, we also serve those facing hunger through food pantries and food drives, support childhood cancer initiatives through fundraising and donations, and promote diabetes research, education, and awareness.
I look forward to serving District 31-L and growing our membership through visible service throughout western North Carolina. Please feel free to contact me at jpfsdick@yahoo.com or 585-233-1857.
District Governor Dick Wilcox
