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

PDG GEORGE ARESON

We as a District must support the “District Team” of Governor Dom and VDG George. They are the Hope of the future.

I enjoyed my term, as District Governor and I will continue to serve the District anywhere I am needed.

And always remember:
