THERE’S SILVER IN THEM THEIR BATTERIES

Button batteries contain a small amount of silver.

A member of Southend Lions has the ability to extract this and dispose of the rest, environmentally safely.

One kilogram of batteries will yield £50 of silver at today’s prices. Please collect these from care homes, medical outlets, chemists, hearing aid providers or anywhere that will save them for you, and bring them to zone meetings, cabinet, or post them to Lesley Chudley.

All monies generated will go into the MD Vision Screening Programme.

SO we are helping the environment and vision in one go!

WIN! WIN!

Handover Lunch

On Sunday the 25th of June Truro Lions held their annual Handover at Penrose Kitchen to mark the start of the new Lions Year. Lions and their partners, sat down to enjoy a lovely Sunday Lunch

Outgoing President Geoff Kaye in his speech said he was very pleased that the Truro Team of members and partners utilising their outstanding talents did a great job with our various fund raising and service activities. The club raised about £22,000 over the last Lions year with our usual events such as Crystal Golf, Christmas Hampers, Easter Eggs, Used Book Sales, Cuddly Lions, and Stithians Show, The Turkey /Syria Earthquake Appeal. Geoff said he was particularly proud of the £4,000 raised for the Earthquake Appeal which once again showed the outstanding generosity of the public of Truro and surrounding areas and visitors to the City.

The club gave Approx 1000 hours of service to Marshalling at Little Harbour events and others plus helping at the Memory Cafe.

Geoff said a big thank you to all Members, Partners, and Friends for all their efforts through the year and a special thanks to his wife Norma for all her help and support.

He then handed over the Presidents Chain of Office to VP Richard Moore and wished Richard and his Partner Beryl Devany all the very best for their year, from himself and Norma.

New President Richard Moore then said a few words of welcome to everyone present, especially wives of past Lions and those not well enough to attend and looked forward to receiving support from Members and Partners for his year of office.

Richard then handed the VP Chain to our new Vice President Mike Kalis before giving a gift of a rose to Norma. Geoff in turn then gave an Orchid to Beryl.
