The Lions State Convention is a great place to meet with old friends and to make new friends. The State Convention Committee has done everything possible to make this one of our greatest conventions. As always, there will be a banquet on Friday evening. This year the theme will be western, so come dressed accordingly, and will again feature the Flag Ceremony, the Massachusetts Lions All-State Band. A major highlight for Saturday is the finals of the Youth Speech Contest. And on Sunday, we get to elect a new District Governor to lead us through the next year.
