Blyth Lions 2015 Photos

When District Governor Hank Van Moorsel (A9) visited the Blyth Lions Club he was anticipating making a presentation to the organization about how to improve the quality of the Lions organization. He did not expect to leave with a cheque in the amount of $8,581.55 to help his Cycle Recycle program purchase containers to ship bicycles to Africa where they will help enrich the lives of the people there. Thanks to a contribution from the Bicycles for Humanity Huron group, which raised money and collected bicycles in the past for the same goal, Governor Hank will be able to purchase two shipping containers each of which will hold 500 bicycles. Shown during the special cheque presentation are (left to right) Bicycles for Humanity Huron organizer Sylvia Nonkes, Governor Van Moorsel, Blyth Lions Club President Mary Lou Stewart and Bicycles for Humanity Huron organizer and Blyth and Brussels United Church Minister Gary Clark.
