Dear Lions:

#1 Thank you to all who a attended the AALU Homecoming meeting this past Saturday. There were so many great moments. The most important takeaway is that we are a Membership organization. Several Lions have passed away and others are dealing with grief and other challenges. Please keep your fellow Lions in your prayers and thoughts. The Chaplain and Programs Committee are planning an interfaith prayer service to support our membership in January 2022. More details to come.

We captured a few meeting screenshot photos: take a look!  We had a technical challenge that we resolved, but if you missed the meeting and you want to view the Members-only unlisted YouTube video, please reply to this message. We will send it to any National AALU financial member who missed the meeting for this reason.

Other meeting takeaways:

• Donate - President Brenda Allen launched the Promise Fund Initiative at Homecoming '21 to support LU. Dr. Allen has challenged us to find 1000 people to donate $1000 each to LU!
