Lions end 2022\/23 with a bang<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lions Club of Mount Gambier\u2019s 60th anniversary celebrations have wound up with the Changeover Dinner at the Mount Gambier Community RSL and there were plenty of highlights at the final event for the 2022\/23 year.<\/p>\n

As club president Stephen Bell stepped aside, there were still some prominent presentations to be made with past president Peter Pignotti receiving a Melvin Jones Fellowship and another past president Robin Conboy OAM adding life membership to his accolades as a hard working community member over decades.<\/p>\n

The formalities also included Mr Bell handing over the presidency mantle to Beccy Field, along with the induction of the incoming board for 2023-24. The 1st Vice District Governor elect Ruth Pearsons, who happens to be Beccy\u2019s sister, was in charge of the leadership handover, making for a special occasion for the siblings.<\/p>\n

The official changeover dinner capped the 60th anniversary year and was a time to reflect on the many community groups the club was able to support over the past 12 months. 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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,\u201d outgoing President Bell said.<\/p>\n
