Dear International President,

(Contents of email not recorded here)

I sent 3 emails with 15 attachments to Robert (Bob) Corlew. He did not even bother to respond as he was more interested in his theme and climbing mountains. He did not realise that when there are many mountains there will also be valleys. He did not look down at members falling down the valley.

I wrote to him because he was International President and because I was informed he was a previous judge.

The following is extracted from the Lions website during his year:

Climbing a mountain is used as a metaphor. It represents something that is difficult and arduous and takes a maximum effort to accomplish. But it is only by climbing those mountains that we can excel. Each mountain represents a new challenge, a new opportunity. As our world continues to change, each of us faces new challenges and new opportunities to serve and each can be viewed as a mountain. Climbing these mountains provides a chance for Lions to make the world better.
As we celebrate 100 years of Lions service, we honor our past and embrace our present.  But it is our future for which we must plan. If we are to ascend our next mountain, we must lay out a trail in front of us, marking our trail for future generations of Lions who follow and preserving our tradition of service.

·        How did he excel in his year?

·        What did he do when I wrote to him?

·        How are we planning for our future?

·        Where is the trail for our future generations to follow and preserve our tradition of service?

Like Nai Seng Tan says, it is all talk and no action. All are beautiful sounding words.
