Meet Lion Paul Maguire, candidate for 2nd Vice District Governor in A711.
Vision
We will grow through dedication to a shared goal and coordination of a common voice.
Inspiration
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost. It is the urge to serve others at whatever cost.
– Arthur Ashe
Let’s be heroes. Let’s be Lions.
