Club Charter Night President's Message (Lion Barry Smith)

During the winter of 1981-1982, twenty-two community-minded individuals gathered together to form the East Royalty Lions Club, with Parkdale Sherwood Lions Club as sponsor.

The President said that the Club would serve the East Royalty, Marshfield, York, Brackley and Stanhope areas.

These areas were formally without a service Club, but he said we hope to fill in the gap and aid the citizens of these communities in the future through the great works that Lionism can and has provided in other areas.

In his summation, the President said, in the future, the community will look back and I'm sure they will remember your dedication to the area we serve.  I feel deeply that, with the members we have in our Club, it will be very progressive indeed
