Branson Towers Hotel in Branson, MO
"A Universe of Service" M6 District Convention will be held March 22-23, 2024, at The Branson Towers (236 Shepherd of the Hills Expy) in Branson, MO. The Convention Committee has been working hard to provide an experience that will expand the Governor’s theme “A Universe of Service” with Lions and beyond...throughout the community of Branson.
Below is a list of highlights of the convention and printable information, like the registration. Please come and share this experience with your District Governor team!
Schedule of events.....
We will also learn more about the various organizations who provide services to those in need in our District and how we can work with them to support our combined mission, We Serve. Some District business will be conducted as we select our next District Governor and Vice District Governors, update our District Constitution and Bylaws, plus deal with other issues of business as they arise. Lions from around our District will be recognized for their outstanding achievements throughout the year, plus we will have an opportunity to meet a young local artist who submitted an entry for the International Peace Poster contest.
District Convention is a wonderful opportunity to learn, experience, get involved in Lionism outside our local club and fellowship with other Lions. We can all learn from one another.
****LOOK BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONVENTION AND ANY PRINTOUTS YOU WOULD LIKE FOR YOURSELF OR YOUR CLUB.
Judge Anthony W. Paradiso from Rockville Centre, New York, USA, was elected to serve a two-year term as an international director of Lions Clubs International at the association’s 105th International Convention in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, July 7 through July 11, 2023.
Director Paradiso has more than 30 years of law experience and is currently a district court judge responsible for the adjudication of criminal cases in Nassau County, New York.
Looking for an opportunity to give back to his community for the scholarships that allowed him to attend college and later, law school, he was drawn to the service that Lions were providing. He joined the Rockville Centre Lions Club in 1996 where he has continuously served ever since. In addition to his leadership at the district level, he has held a number of offices within the association including multiple district council parliamentarian. He also served as the Lions Clubs International’s representative to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime from 2010 to 2023. He has been a group leader for multiple DGE seminars, a panel moderator for LDUN and a forum presenter.
In recognition of his service to the association, he has received numerous awards including the Brandel-Murphy Miracles Through Service Award and Robert J. Uplinger Award. He is also the recipient of multiple International President’s Awards and International President’s Leadership Awards. He is also a Progressive Melvin Jones Fellow.
In addition to his Lions activities, Director Paradiso is active in numerous professional and community organizations. He is an executive director and past president of the Columbian Lawyers Association of Nassau County, a past director for the Nassau County Bar Association and past president for the District Court Judges’ Association.
When not engaged in Lion service, Director Paradiso enjoys traveling, art appreciation and sharing good food and wine with friends.
