President Roly Livingstone's end-of-year Annual Report

"I have again used a picture of the setting or rising sun, as you might see it as representing in a pictorial way, the setting of the sun for the outgoing management team and the hearalding of a new era for the Club through the incoming team. Tonight is an important event for this Club as it is for all Lions Clubs throughout the world as one management team takes over from another. I believe this is one of the strengths of Lions that each year brings an opportunity to review the management of each Club.

Lions Clubs provide great learning opportunities for all members to grow with the Club as positions in the management team become available. Those of us from the old team wish the new team the best of good fortune and stand ready to assist them in any way we can in the future.
