It was my honor and privilege to be one of four California District Governors to be given the Quick Start Ginkgo Award by International President Eberhard Wirfs, and one of 57 governors worldwide.  This special recognition was for 2009-2010 district governors who extended clubs before August 30th, 2009 and was presented by International President Wirfs at the USA/Canada Forum in Memphis, Tennessee.  Each district governor that qualified received a special plaque and a mention in LION Magazine.

Congratulations to IPDG Marlene Duffin, PCS Karen Fillmore, RC Hugh Donagher and the team of coordinating Lions of 4C6 for qualifying 4C6 for the Quick Start Ginkgo Award by chartering the Mountain View Silicon Valley Lions Club and the Willow Glen Lions Club before August 30, 2009.  Click here to read IP Eberhard Wirfs’ full article.
