Dear Lions and Leos of New Jersey MD16,
In accordance with Article VI of the Constitution and By-Laws of Multiple District 16, I, MaryAnn Ragone DeLambily, Council Chair, MD16, hereby issue the official Call for the 2026 New Jersey State Convention.
We will gather in Atlantic City beginning Thursday, May 14th, and conclude on Sunday, May 17th, 2026, for a weekend dedicated to fellowship, service, leadership, and the business of our association. The purpose of the convention is to elect District Officers, including Governors and Vice Governors for the Sub-Districts, and to conduct such other businesses as may properly come before the body.

As in years past—and continuing to grow—we will offer a full convention program including educational seminars, exhibits, a service project, Memorial Service, LCIF events and hospitality room, awards presentations, Sub-District meetings, the Strides Walk for Diabetes, and our signature Saturday evening Gala.
We are honored to welcome our international guest, Second International Vice President Dr. Manoj Shah, whose leadership and commitment to Lionism exemplify service at its very best. Click here to read more about him.
Registration information will be shared in separate communication.
For hotel reservation please use reservation code ST05JL6 or https://book.passkey.com/go/ST05JL6.
Paper registration deadline is April 15, 2026. Online Registration Deadline is May 5, 2026.
On behalf of the Council of Governors, I strongly encourage every club across Multiple District 16 to participate in this milestone convention. Your presence, your voice, and your service truly make the difference.
Yours in Lionism,
𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓎𝒜𝓷𝓷
