Dear Hiroshima Lions Club:

Congratulations on the occasion of your club's 50th anniversary.

Anniversaries offer the opportunity to reflect upon where we have been and where we are going. Since your club's induction, the Lions in your club have worked together to improve the lives of individuals in your community and around the world. Your commitment to providing quality service has given our association its distinguished reputation and is a prime example of what has kept Lions Clubs International running for more than 87 years.

As we celebrate our achievements, we will continue to look toward the future for opportunities to improve and expand our projects of service. Through your members' efforts and drive, you are now able to celebrate your shared success through service with one another. I am sure that you will continue to encourage membership growth and retention and to develop leadership skills. These steps will ensure that you will have quality club members who are ready to carry on the Lions tradition of service.

Again, congratulations on your anniversary.

Yours truly,

Clement F. Kusiak
International President
