Meetings

Hello to all fellow Lions and Lions followers.

My name is June Sheldrake I am pleased and proud to become President of West Norwich Lions for this Lion year which will run from July 2024 to June 2025.
 
I am a relevantly new member joining West Norwich Lions in November 2022. However, I have been involved as a non-member volunteer since 1987, a total of 37 years. My husband Barry was a charter member and is the only active charter member still in the club, and I fully supported him from the start in his many roles. Barry has been Club President on three occasions. I will call on his support as he has done mine over many years. I also know I can call on all our members, we have many different skills sets within the club and as a team work closely together to maximise our club’s involvement.
We have many fundraising opportunities from Christmas collections, a big event we collect from various retail shops throughout December. Check our website https:clubhouse.org/sites/norwich/// throughout December for locations we are attending or our Facebook Page. 
I want to thank all our members for collecting your kind donations; this can be either Cash or Card. This is just one of many activities we participate in. This coming Christmas 2024 Collection will be for two central Charities, the first being supporting Dementia; the second central Charity will be discussed and selected from our members at a club meeting; each member can put forward a recommendation, and the one receiving the most votes will be named as our second leading charity, we will continue supporting our local charities example foodbanks. If you know of a good cause needing help, please let us know, and all requests will be considered by our members.
It is not just work. We have social events as a club, and I believe we are a friendly bunch that welcomes all new members. You can become part of the Lion family. We are always looking for new members. If you are interested, please get in touch with any member for information or send me an e-mail at junesheldrake@hotmail.co.uk. We are open to all genders above 18 years old.
 
I will try to keep you all updated via our website throughout my year in office, and I look forward to meeting you all. Hopefully, we will be welcoming you to one of our meetings. Thank you for reading my introduction, and please feel free to contact me.
Best wishes to all.
June President West Norwich Lions
