LICENSE PLATE INFORMATION
As your District 33S Representative for the proposed Lions License Plate, I am asking for your support. The idea of a state Lions plate was introduced about ten (10) months ago. As of now, we have approximately 10% of the necessary first 1500 applicants. The registry of Motor Vehicles requires a minimum of 1500 applicants to imitate this project and another 1500 at the completion of the issue year.
Many hours and days were put into getting this project started, and we, the Lions, need more recognition and this would be a very visible reminder for everyone. We are asking for your support. You can purchase a Lion plate for as little as $40.00. Please contact me with any questions or to receive an application. This can only happen with everyone’s help. And remember, you don’t have to be a Lion to have a Lion plate on your vehicle!!! Call me.
