2012 Online Convention

Busan, Korea, June 22-26, 2012

President's Message

Dear Lions, Leos and friends,

It’s that time of year again when Lions from across the world come together to take part in our annual convention. Our Online Convention provides Lions at our 95th annual International Convention in Busan, Korea – and those of you at home – with photos, contest and election results and news from June 22 through 26. Members on Twitter can tweet @lionsclubsorg with the hashtag #LCI2012.

This year’s event features some exciting highlights, including the keynote address by Dr. Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organization; the presentation of the 2012 Humanitarian Award to Deng Pufang and the China Disabled Persons’ Federation Performing Art Troupe; and the always festive Lions International Parade, which will feature an estimated 10,000 Lions – many in native dress – from 100 countries.

As I met with Lions during my travels this past year, I spread the word of my theme: Believe. I was also impressed by the many ways Lions live out the We Serve motto. Thank you Lions of the world for believing in the value of giving back this year and allowing me to be your president.

With sincere appreciation,

Wing-Kun Tam
International President
