The Hyatt Regency Chicago will also be the host hotel for the District Governors Elect Seminar, so it is truly the place to be for most of the convention-related festivities. Unfortunately, all the rooms in the hotel have been filled so PA Lions are being directed to an adjacent overflow hotel. Mid Atlantic Breakfast July 1 The Mid Atlantic Breakfast will be held from 7-9 a.m. Saturday, July 1. MD-14 Lions will join their neighbors from MD-16 (New Jersey), MD-22 (Delaware, Maryland and District of Columbia) and MD-29 (West Virginia) for breakfast in the Hyatt Regency Chicago before making a short, quick trek to the assembly area for the start of the International Parade. Cost of the breakfast is $33.00/person for MD-14 Lions and guests thanks to the generousity of this year s State Council, which voted last February to underwrite a portion of the overall cost. The Multiple District will pay approximately $11.00 per person to cover the the 11.5% Illinois state tax and 23% hotel service fee added to each breakfast order. The menu for the plated Breakfast will be scrambled eggs, bacon, breakfast pastries, breakfast potatoes, assorted juices, coffee and hot and iced tea. Tickets are on sale now through the State Office in Harrisburg and will also be available Wednesday through Sunday at the state convention in Seven Springs. Checks should be made payable to PA Lions with Mid Atlantic Breakfast noted on the subject line. PA Lions Hospitality Reception July 2 The PA Hospitality Reception will be held from 8-10 p.m. Sunday, July 2 in the Hyatt Regency Chicago and will feature a dessert buffet and cash bar. Together we can do so much According to the Miriam Webster dictionary, two definitions of pride are: The quality or state of being proud; a feeling of happiness you get when you or someone you know does something good or difficult A company of lions I take great pride in being your State Administrator, more importantly part of an outstanding company of Lions, particularly those in MD 14. I also enjoy a great feeling of happiness when we Lions do something good for our communities, our fellow residents, our clubs and our members. In this, our proud organization s Centennial year, I re-affirm my passion for our cause and encourage all of us to do the same, dig a little deeper and do a little more. I promise to continue to do my part as a member and also all I can as your State Administrator to assist in your efforts. As Helen Keller once said, Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. I look forward to working together with you, this year and for many years to come, to make our Multiple District as great as it can be.
