Message from President Jim Pearson:
It was with pleasure that I acknowledged the attendance of 137 Lions Dignitaries, Invited Guests, and Lions, Lions Ladies and Partners. DG John Gillham and his wife Libby, the Mayor, Ald. Lynn Laycock and her partner Russell, Ald. Maurice Hill and his wife Ros, the Zone Chairman, Kae Campbell, and her husband, and the President of the Launceston Lions Club and his wife, were just some of the guests for the evening. On behalf of the 32 Lions of the Lions Club Of City Of Devonport, Inc., I welcomed them to the Celebration of the completion of our first fifty years of service. I thanked them all for helping us commemorate the day this club was formed, in September 1959, and to celebrate the day of its charter, on 13 February 1960, fifty years ago. During the evenings program all present were entertained and enlightened regarding some of the history of this club and its members. Geoff Phillips, Ian Wild and Bob Cameron filled in the details of this club's history over it's fifty years. The chef put together a delightful menu for our dining pleasure, and the wines hopefully pleased. Our Master of Ceremonies, Lion Geoff Phillips officiated for the evening.
Jim Pearson, President
