Rothley and Soar Valley Lions Club 42nd Annual Charter Dinner

Lion President Ruth welcomed members, partners and guests to the 42nd Annual Charter Dinner held at Birstall Golf Club on Sat 30th March 2019; a total of 63 people attended. The dinner is held to celebrate the activities and achievements of the last year. The Lions Club support and help many local organisations either by contributing to their funds or by helping with and organising events such as the Rothley 10k Race held in June for the last 30 years. The dinner was attended by members of local Lions Clubs and District officers of Lions Clubs International and also representatives of various charitable organisations.
During the evening donations totalling £20,250 were presented to LOROS, VISTA, Air Ambulance, Syston Volunteer Centre, Wishes for Kids, Dementia UK and Reach. The money had been raised by the dedication to service by the Club’s Members who were aided by people from other local organisations. A big thank you was expressed by Lion Ruth to everyone involved in these activities.
