First Vice District Governor Eddie Chase

 Kinston Host Lions Club

I am so excited to join such a great organization as Lions. Their desire to do everything they do is the main reason I chose to be a Lion. My heart has always been to serve others.

After working in my career in the electrical industry for 50 years, I retired in December of 2022. This now gives me time to work on my second career, which is now serving others more.

I am the father of a beautiful daughter and a great son-in-law. With them, they have given me one of the greatest blessings, my three grandchildren.

My journey with Lions has been fairly short in years. But my experience so far has been great. As I go forward, I am looking forward to even more great experiences working alongside of my fellow lions to make our district stronger and better to serve our
communities. As always, as I journey through my Lions future, I will appreciate all the wisdom and knowledge and guidance that I receive from everyone. We are all a team working together to further Lionism and support our communities.
