President’s Message
As June draws to a close so does my two year term as President of our club. During that period of time we have seen our club grow to 40 members. That is truly wonderful because, the more members we have, the better we are able to serve our community.
2019 represents the 45th year that we have served our community since our Charter in 1974, and we are looking forward to celebrating that milestone in conjunction with our opening Concert in the Park on June 18.
The motto of Lions Clubs International, our global organization, is ‘We Serve’ and we are very proud to have served our community in so many different ways – eWaste collection, eyeglass recycling, medical equipment lending, Storehouse Foodbank donations, meals on wheels, Christmas gifts for seniors, parades, concerts in the park, effective speaking for students, peace poster contests for students, books for students, County Kids Read program, walk for Dog Guides, dragon boating and dragon boat festivals and many more. We also conduct a number of fundraising events and ALL the funds we raise go back to our communities to support those in need.
I want to take this opportunity of thanking all our members for the support you have given me over these past two years, and wish Don Lyons, our incoming President, every success during his term.
It has been an honour and a privilege to serve as your President.
John
