Navita & Naresh Aggarwal with Crystal & David Walk |
Our International Lions
President Naresh and his wife Navita Aggarwal hail from India which so far away
from District 19F that when I shook his hand in Chicago I couldn’t imagine that
anything he would have to say could even remotely apply to our district full of
wheat farmers and good old boys and girls.
Sometimes an old redneck like me can enjoy being wrong. Dr. Aggarwal has a great head on his shoulders. When he writes he doesn’t waste words and when he talks he gets right down to business. In the current Lions Magazine he says, “Service to others defines who we are. It is our very reason to exist as a global organization. Our motto puts it in terms others can easily understand - We Serve -… Our motto is timeless. It is as relevant today as it was in 1917, and it will inspire us into our next century of service
.
Dr. Aggarwal and Lions Club International have developed the
exciting and new Global Action Team which is actually a streamlining of ourorganization at all levels. He says, “It unifies the three key areas of Lions—leadership, membership and service
into one team to strengthen our clubs, districts and association. It's a
bottom-up approach to supporting and encouraging the one thing that unites all
Lions: service.”
Dr. Aggarwal concludes, “Your clubs are counting on you. And
so am I. Let's do everything in our power to make the Global Action Team a
success!”

This approach could very well be what your club and our District needs!!
