The year's coming to an end.
What have you learned?
Um, and, and I've learned a lot about Lionism 'cause like I said, when I first joined, it was my club.

In, in our district, which is 11 counties around Kansas City and south, um, below the river, uh, we have one, Kansas City World Outreach.
Their main thing is medical missions overseas, you know? They're not about their local community, though I'm sure they do things there too, like eyeglasses or whatever.
Um, but I have met, in the training I had, I think it's about two and a half years of training, first online and then we were together, um, we had 30 peopleMost of whom were not from North America, um, and many of them English was their second language, but we were technically a language-speaking...
I've learned that there are great people doing great things everywhere, and, and it's just, I don't know.
It's, it's just I, I have a sense of pride that I am part of that, and I get to be helping everywhere I can.
