A message from President Dave
Although things have been very quiet on the events front, there has been a section of the Lions that has been busy assisting with home deliveries, fetching and carrying and generally helping out where and when they can in a safe manner.
The offer was made to all the major stores within the Bodmin area to help with collection and deliveries if needed, and to other organizations with the same.
Some of our more senior members have had to stay indoors self-isolating, and therefore not able to do the things they would like to do, help others.
As the time rolls on and it seems we are starting to ease out of this Covid situation, (although it seems a way to go yet!) we are hoping to start to make plans for the future and slowly get the ball rolling again.
As everyone is aware since the lockdown everything has come to a complete standstill with all of the Lions events including, bingo, Lions 10 Tors, Fun ride, meetings and all the other events we help out at.
This year as you are probably aware of within previous communication on the website, it is the Lions Club of Bodmin’s 50th anniversary, in which they have been helping others through thick and thin throughout, organizing and running events for all different groups within our area.(Even some out of area)
As of yet we have not been able to celebrate this achievement, but hopefully that will change in the near future.
In the next few weeks the Presidency of the club will change hands, and I look forward to the new President, Daniel Brinson, taking the club forward in to a new era, without the Covid situation!
From my point, I would like to thank the Secretaries, Lionel and Jon, and the Treasurer Ron for all their help over the last couple of years, and also to all the members of the club that have done a sterling job with the work and hours they put in freely to help others.
My extended thanks go to those that although they might of retired from the every day running of the club, still help with doing things in the background, ie the website and helping with collections, the sleigh…
For now, I would like to thank all of you that have supported Bodmin Lions Club, and I wish everybody all the best for the future, and hope to see you out and about at all our events soon, take care,
Outgoing Lions President,
Dave Truran
