We may come from different places and cultures, but we share the same purpose: to make life better for others.<\/p><p>Our message for 2025\u20132026, \u201cLead to Serve, Serve to Lead,\u201d reminds us that service and leadership go hand in hand. Every act of service shows others what it means to lead with heart. And the more we serve, the more we grow \u2014 as people, as clubs and as a global family.<\/p><p>To make this a year worth celebrating, we must start strong. That means taking action early \u2014 welcoming new members into our clubs and supporting our districts\u2019 efforts to charter new ones. Reaching our goals ahead of schedule will give us the momentum we need to do even more good throughout the year.<\/p><p>As we grow, let\u2019s also make sure our clubs welcome everyone with a heart for service. Are we inviting younger members to bring their energy and fresh ideas? Are we making space for more women, especially in places where that\u2019s been a challenge? Every club should reflect the community it serves \u2014 diverse, vibrant and full of potential.<\/p><p>Now\u2019s also the time to start planning your Weeks of Service. Lions and Leos worldwide will be coming together for three powerful weeks to serve the areas of mental health and well-being, hunger and the environment. This is a great opportunity to invite new friends to serve alongside you and experience firsthand what it means to be a Lion. Learn more about our Weeks of Service in this issue.<\/p><p>Our impact depends on our strength. And our strength comes from our people. So let\u2019s grow with purpose \u2014 and lead through service.<\/p><p>Together we serve,<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35691 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/design7.nuvodev.com\/client\/lions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DigitalSignatures_SinghAP-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"69\" \/><\/p><p><strong>A.P.
