“Following in the footsteps of past presidents, all of whom have successfully brought their own brand of leadership, organisation and 
vigour to the role, is an onerous task and I promise to do my best to rise to the challenge.

“Since its inception, Louth and District Lions Club has proudly served the local community. We have supported many underprivileged adults and children by fund-raising, for example, funds raised through the Duck Race, Tractor Rally, Bike Night, The Classic Car Event, the Golf Day, Casino Nights and Santa’s Sleigh have enabled us to donate time and money to many worthy 
causes and organisations.

“Very recently, we have helped, amongst others, Covenham Sailability, County Linx Radio, Louth and Barnabus Hospices and Louth First Responders.

“We are also part of Lions Club International, the largest and most active service club organisation in the world, with an excess of 1.3 million members operating in 206 countries through 46,000 clubs worldwide.”

Ros continued: “My aims for this year are to build on the work of the past whilst looking to the future and to ensure that fellowship and social 
bonding provides a strong Lions team working in situations where ordinary people enjoy helping those 
in need.

“We also need to continue developing our work with 
the youth of the town and district and to grow our membership.”
