Come, enjoy the fellowship!
Lions of Wyoming, welcome to the 2026 Wyoming State Lions Convention! Big Horn Lions Club has chosen to host the Wyoming State Lions convention in Sheridan this year.
The Wyoming State Lions Convention committee, chaired by PDG Gary Roadifer, wish to offer you a convention designed to give every Lion an opportunity to: meet and socialize with current Lion friends and make new Lion friends, support a Big Horn Lions service project, celebrate the service you have provided to your communities, and learn what Lions International and District 15 can offer to help you "Serve".
PID Robert "Ski" Marcinkowski, from Alaska, will be our guest and will speak at our banquet Saturday evening and will give us an opportunity to interact with him in an informal QA session.
The convention theme this year “Lions on Deck” is based on the 250th anniversary of the United States of America and the all-American pastime, baseball. Please, come, enjoy the fellowship with fellow Lions, and Have Fun!
Yours in Service, DG Ron Leathers
