Two weeks ago, Joni and I visited Ceara, Brazil, where the Lions are living up to our motto \u201cwe serve.\u201d There, I promoted the Pride of being a Lion at the opening of the Council of Governors meeting, met with Lion Leaders, Club Presidents and Leos, and dumped a bucket of ice water over my head. Yes, I said it \u2013ice water.<\/p>\n
It was in Fortaleza, Brazil…<\/p>\n

It was in Fortaleza, Brazil that I participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. This challenge has been spreading awareness for Lou Gehrig’s disease as well as helping gain support in the race to find a cure. You can see the video I posted taking the challenge on the Lions Clubs International Youtube Channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n We Lions have our own challenge \u2013the Centennial Service Challenge<\/a>, in which Lions around the world are working toward serving 100 million people by 2017. I was fortunate to join the Lions of Brazil in protecting our environment by planting trees and the Leos of Brazil are doing their part by focusing their time to feeding the homeless. Report your service activities on MyLCI<\/a> and encourage others to participate.<\/p>\n
