Public Relations
Alsager Lions now have their own Peace Garden, thanks to Lion Anton Selvadurai's efforts, by a main road into Alsager. Now including an "International Peace Pole." On the sad death of Lion Treasurer, Geoff Rimmer's, daughter Lesley she generously left the Club an amount of money in her will. After some discussions by members it was decide to approach Alsager School to offer an annual prize and trophy to a pupil who had a successful year, despite personnel problems of their own. Deputy Head Andrea O'Neil was delighted to receive the offer as the school was working to a similar idea called "Resilient." After furher discussion it was agreed that a successful pupil would be choosen by the school, from each of the four houses annually, each receiving a £50.00 voucher and the pupil, in the opinion of the staff, achieving the most would be presented with the Lesley Rimmer Memorial Shield.
