Last month we held our annual Handover meeting where we recognise our outgoing Club President, Bob Cuff , and welcome our new Club President, Chris Philpot, who will lead the Club for the next year.
We are delighted to announce that under President Bob Cuff’s stewardship Stowmarket Lions raised over £50,000 towards good causes. This is a fantastic fundraising achievement which could not be achieved without support from the local community and, of course, the Friends of Stowmarket Lions so a big thank you.
We raise money through events such as Santa Sleigh during December, Boxing Dinner in March, Golf in May, and our Bike Ride in June. We also collect for appeals such as the annual Poppy appeal and for Marie Curie.
Many of you will have attended one or more of our fundraising events and in doing so you are helping us raise money for local causes so again a big thank you.
We hope you can continue to support us at future events which would be very much appreciated.
Last Saturday we also helped at the Bacton Fayre, where we ran the carpark and the beer tent. This was a terrific event and many people enjoying the sunshine and having a wonderful time.
Thank you from Stowmarket Lions
