WHO SHOULD ATTEND? 

The Mid-Winter Conference is for all Lions, Lioness, Leos, spouses and friends who want to enhance their leadership skills and expand their knowledge of current health issues facing our society.

Medical research in Wisconsin brings new hope to thousands of individuals.  You will learn about a cutting edge procedure using islet transplants that may provide a cure for diabetes.

Alcohol and drug misuse are two issues that constantly challenge our society.  A seminar on current methods of misuse detection and prevention is sure to provide you with up-to-date information to take back to your community.

This year’s conference features a session dealing with Lions Clubs and tax laws.  IRS audits and reporting requirements are increasing and Lions Clubs need to know how to stay legal and up-to-date on reporting.

Everyone who attends this conference will take home something to improve their personal lives and elevate their enthusiasm to make their Lions, Lioness or Leos Club the best that it can be.  Emerging leaders such as Club Vice Presidents and new members would find these sessions to be of great value.  We hope this conference finds you ready to attend!
