After attending the event, President, Peter Coleman, reflected, “All told, it makes an impressive list - and we’ve been doing it now for 50 years. It’s a privilege to be President with such a capable group of dedicated volunteers. But, of course, none of it would be possible without your continued support. Can we entice you to give Lions a try, perhaps check it out as a volunteer?”
