DOMINGOS G. BRANCO
Cumberland, RI
DISTRICT GOVERNOR
I want to thank all the Great Lions of District 42 for supporting me as
your Leader for 2008-2009 and putting your trust in me.
One year has gone and another is starting and with it all the hopes that
the future permits us. We must be conscious that what ends no longer
exists and the moment now starting shall soon be history too.
Our living is always situated between the past and the future, as the
present is so brief that it doesn’t give us time to remain in it. However,
it is the present that builds the bridge to the future. For me, the
present is the most important and useful time as we are enjoying the
fruits from the past and planting the seeds for the future. For all this I
chose my Mantra “Peace, Unity and Hope”
With the help from the great Lions that honored me by taking part in my
Cabinet, we shall try to bring Unity to the District by organizing joint
meetings, fundraisers and membership drives, hoping to increase membership
and start New Clubs.
This Mantra is symbolized on my pin “The Dove”. The Dove is the symbol of
peace. It was the Dove that came to Noah’s Ark with a small branch in its
beak letting them know that land was near, giving them Hope.
It is my hope that District 42 will flourish in 2008-2009

We as a District must support the “District
