Lions Club of Mount Gambier
After a most successful celebration of its 60th year of service the Lions Club of Mount Gambier extended financial donations last week to selected groups across the community as the club reached the climax of a very successful year.
Financial support was extended to numerous groups to support their operations within our City and beyond.
The executive and membership wished to recognise the support the community had extended to Lions throughout the past year by in turn supporting selected organisations who give so much to our City and its people.
Organisations including: The Royal Flying Doctor, In House Hospice Service, Four Reasons Why, Sunset Kitchen, Mount Gambier City Band and the Local RSL all received support to continue their valuable service within our community.
On Saturday last the members and guests gathered for the Changeover Dinner at the Community RSL where President Stephen Bell was celebrated for a most successful year and had the honour of presenting a Melvin Jones Fellowship to Past President Peter Pignotti.
Past President Robin Conboy OAM was presented with a life membership for his long and outstanding service to the community through the Lions Club of Mount Gambier.
The induction of the incoming board for 2023-24 and President Beccy Field was undertaken by District Governor Ruth Pearsons who happens to be Beccy’s sister.
This made the occasion a special moment for them both.
Outgoing president Stephen Bell thanked the club members for their support over the past year and wished the incoming President and board a successful year ahead.
