July 1, 2023, a new Life of Service Begins

On June 30th, 2023, I said goodbye to many End User Computing (EUC) Community friends. On July 1st, I moved my volunteer service work from the world of Information Technology to Lions Clubs International.

In my IT career, I took over 500 certification exams and held over 100 certifications. I received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Citrix, a Career Achievement Award from my peers at the EUC Masters Retreat, the Cup of the Holy Grail from my friends also at the EUC Masters Retreat, and the Citrix Users Group Community and Patrick Coble gave me The Nerdiest Tuba Player Award.

The scripts, files, and PDFs I provided to the EUC Community from my now-retired website CarlWebster.com had over 1,000,000 downloads from September 30, 2011, through June 30, 2023. My old website also handled over 3,500,000 visitors from November 8, 2008, through June 30, 2023.

I plan to bring the same passion and dedication for service to my local community, club, district, state, and the Lions Clubs International family.

At 00:00:01 on July 1, 2023, I become the 2nd Vice District Governor for District 12-S in the Great State of Tennessee.

Here is my election poster from our District 12-S Convention held on February 11, 2023. I think you may see just what a goober I am.

Thanks for reading my first post on my new LionWebster website.

Thanks

  1. All the best for your new journey mate. We will miss you a lot in the EUC community. I personally will miss testing your scripts and talking about the kids at the various EUC events. In this sense, all the best from my wife and kids as well. Don’t forget that you have friends in Germany too.

  2. Carl, the Lions Club and your local community is very lucky to now be the focus of your incredible passion and dedication. Please keep sharing your activities and posts with us – although it’s a different focus, your work will continue to be an inspiration for all of us. Thank you for all that you do! Your massive contributions over the years have become a solid foundation for current & future EUC experts, and you will always be an uber-respected presence in the IT community – and a very special person to me and to all of us. 💜
