Urey, Immediate Past District Governor, District #403A2; Lion Zelda M. Cooke, President of the Paynesville Boulevard Lion Club; Hon. Roland Layfette Giddings, Minister of Public Works; and Hon.

"Picture the smiles of those we serve, the lives we touch, and the hope we instill. This is the spirit of our mission--serving with purpose and passion," he stated. President Hanson G. Blayon inspired fellow Leos and Lions with a powerful vision: "As Omega LEOs, we stand at the junction of youth and leadership. We are the change-makers, the innovators, the dreamers. We come from diverse backgrounds, yet we share a common vision: to uplift our communities and support those in need. In every service we undertake and every initiative we launch, we build bridges between hope and reality."
