Dear brave Lions,
Time flies and here we are again, in less than a month’s time we will be climbing up the mountains once again The simple thought of the Annual Lions Expedition to the Pyrenees makes a smile come to my face when things get a little tough at work.
The camaraderie of all the members of the expedition is one of the attractive things of the Expedition and in a way it is guaranteed. I promise to all of you that, like the Marines, you will return. We will give thanks to God for many things and being a few days away from our families and normal occupations we will return refreshed and with new energies which will be noticed in our families and work places.
The contributions by each Lions, in the form of specific jobs before, during or after the Expedition, is appreciated. Some of you will be making photographs, a video, others driving or cooking, others will act as sherpas, guides, etc. It is this mutual help, that makes the experience very enjoyable.
Forward men to the top!
Ave Caesar, morituri te salutant!
