Greetings fellow Lions,
Wow! Hasn't the year flown! What a very busy year for us so far. With Howick in the Park, Water Safety Picnic at Cockle Bay, chip cooking at Point View School, and of course, the excellent club social event at June & Colin Salt's home on March 6th. Followed by the usual sausage sizzle on Easter Saturday at TWH, and then on April 1st & 2nd bucket shake for Blind Foundation Red Puppy appeal. Thank you all for your wonderful effort; I'm very proud of our club.
Our newest member, Paul Curtis, is being inducted on Wednesday April 6th; Paul has been very active in attending three meetings and two projects!!
VP Grant has a full team for our Lions centenary year; thank you to those who have accepted nomination for the various positions (see next page). Speaking of the centenary, VP Grant has volunteered to be our club representative, so we are looking for ideas to what we can do in our area to recognise this major international Lions event.
I'm pleased to see that our various members/spouses who have had health challenges over the past months, appear to be getting better. Thank you to our Almoner Packy, who keeps in touch regularly.
Tom has arranged an interesting speaker for our dinner meeting in April re Scouting in New Zealand; we shall be presenting our cheque to the Cockle Bay Scouts shortly with the donation towards the Scout Jamboree 2017.
Finally, isn't the Tatler's new look fantastic! Thank you editor Denis from us all.
Remember, "We serve because we care"
Yours in Lions
President Neil
