The Lions of Tropical Gardens Changeover/Installation ceremony 2017-2018

It was a very pleasant Sunday (25 June) evening at The Wharf Restaurant where the Annual Lions of T.G.’s Changeover/Installation took place. It was a very long evening – approaching five hours – but the food was excellent and it made for a very pleasant evening.

The President (this term Donett Chung) chose the theme “Lion Pride: serving our community and each other with respect and dignity”.

The Guest Speaker was Dr. Livingston Smith whose main focus was on President Chung’s theme that included her choice of song “Do Something”. The song was played and the packed audience, that included guests from other service clubs, sang along with the very lively piece of music.

The newly elected President gave a very inspiring and jovial acceptance speech and I am sure she will accomplish all her list of “to do’s”.

Immediate Past President, Maureen Robinson, gave a speech listing all the accomplishments the Lions Club of T.G. Had achieved over the past year under her leadership. There was a long and impressive list that included sight screening and heart monitoring.
