Please join us for Multiple District 5 convention in Aberdeen, S.D. This will be two great days of learning about Lions, service, the South Dakota School for the Blind and Visually Impaired and other aspects of life in Aberdeen.
The conference kicks off with an optional social Thursday evening with trivia and games as people arrive. Friday and Saturday are full of great programs and break-out sessions.
Join us Friday evening for a picnic out at Storybook Land* or find a favorite restaurant out in the community.
The whole event is capped off with a banquet to celebrate the Lions of MD5, but not the tigers or bears (oh my!).
