Dear Lion,   Last July, I asked you to help bring dignity to all humanity. A year later, I am overwhelmed by the tremendous response of Lions around the world. This year has been a huge success for Lions who seek to promote harmony and bring dignity to underserved populations everywhere.                                               I asked you to continue changing the lives of 100+ million people by hosting a service project impacting youth, vision, hunger or the environment in your community and you responded as only Lions can. Just halfway through the Centennial Service Challenge, we've impacted the lives of more than 85 million people, strengthening communities at home and around the world.   I asked you to raise the visibility of your clubs and commemorate our Centennial by planning a Legacy Project in your community. In less than six months, nearly 3,000 clubs have reported Legacy Projects in their communities with more clubs joining them in every day.   I asked you to help expand our service impact by inviting your family, friends and neighbors to join us in service. Once again, you went beyond the call and in just a few months, nearly 10,000 Lions have qualified for the Centennial Membership Awards with thousands more on the way.                                                                                                                                                         We've accomplished much this year, but there's so much left to do. I hope you'll continue to work with Lions in your community and around the world to achieve our Centennial service goals.                                                                                                               Sincerely,   Dr. Jitsuhiro Yamada Your International President Engage & Empower Youth in Your Community   This August 8–14, join Lions around the world for a special international service event dedicated to engaging and empowering youth in our communities.
