AT the District Changeover Lunch in Launceston on July 16, the establishment of the Tasmanian Online Club was listed among the highlights of 2022-2023 and three Lions who were instrumental in its establishment received awards from outgoing District Governor Paul Cairnduff.
Local Lion, Marg Cranney, received the International President Appreciation Certificate and a Governor’s Star Award; Past District Governor Toby Crawford from Penguin Lions received a Governors Star Award; and James Redgrave from Deloraine Lions received a Governor’s Appreciation Award.
In total, 17 Lions received awards for outstanding service in a successful year that increased both Lions membership in the district and contributions to communities across Tasmania. Current District Governor, Rob Batchelor had just returned from the annual International Lions Convention in Boston. He reported that the Lions Club International Foundation had provided 40 million meals across the world in the last 12 months and this figure is expected to rise to 100 million meals in 10 years.
