Julie 2016 - Lions Multiple District 410

D G 410 D NEWSLETTER
JULY 2016
Fellow Lions
A new year. A new beginning… Old broom(?)
The International President’s theme as indicated below is: “New Mountains to Climb”. The theme is self-explanatory and I do not have much to
add to it. I would prefer you to consider it. Each person has his or her own mountains to climb in life.
We as Lions, can surely make it easier for those less fortunate. Together we can make happen with our
motto: “We Serve”.
With your support, we can make our District the best!
ENJOY the next year and have FUN!
Lions regards
Zwaai Krüger

me…

Our Lions —Awards, farewells & families
Cape Recife Lions Club
rd
On the 23 July Cape Recife held a function to bid one of their long serving Lion farewell. Past Council Chairman Dudley
Godfrey and Yvonne’s have resigned, in good standing, after 39 years’ service in District 410D.
Dudley was inducted as a Charter member of the East London West Lions
Club in February 1977. He was elected President in 1979 – 80 and since then
they have been in five other Clubs.
During his 39 years as a Lion Dudley has held various Cabinet and Council
posts. He was elected District Governor of 410D for the year 2002-03 and
then Council Chairman MD410 in 2005-2006.
As a Lion he truly lived out our Motto “We Serve” and they will be sorely
missed. However they will always be part of the Cape Recife family.
President Ray Brown presented Dudley with a Certificate of appreciation for
his 39years of Service to Lions, and a bouquet of flowers to Yvonne and
wished them well.

Swellendam Lions Club
Op Saterdag 16 Julie het SWELLENDAM LIONS
en vrywilligers ‘n groep van 10 tieners tussen die
ouderdom van 14 – 17 jaar bederf met ‘n uitstappie
na Wolfkloof.
Dit was ‘n heerlike sonskyndag en hulle het +- 5 km
in die berg gestap en kon die natuurskoon bewonder. Na afloop van die stap was almal honger en
dors, en het die LIONS reggestaan met heerlike
worsbroodjies, slap chips en koeldrank wat daar in
die veld voorberei is.
Baie dankie aan elkeen wat
betrokke was en wat die dag
moontlik gemaak het vir die
groep jong mense. ‘n Mens
besef nie altyd wat se impak so
iets in hul lewens maak nie.

Water point VW Race
Uitenhage Lions manned yet another great water point in
the VWSA Road Race
We got together in Uitenhage just outside Kromberg &
Schubert at 06:00 to start setting up our gazebo and getting our station ready.
Being only 1° C that morning , it did not stop us nor the
athletes from achieving our goals.
UITENHAGE SPCA KENNELS
The Uitenhage Lions Club has been sponsoring two
kennels at the local SPCA for more than a decade.
The Lion emblem, which faces in opposite directions,
represents using the knowledge and experience

purpose to strive for excellence in the future, said
Lion President Andre "Pillie" Minnie.
