****************************************************
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
WE WOULD WITH THE DEEPEST SORROW, WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE TO OUR COMMUNITY AND THOSE OF YOU WHO VIEW THIS SITE ON A REGULAR BASISIS THAT ON OCT 22/05 THE ST,GEORGE-FUNDYBAY LIONS CLUB DISBANDED.
THIS WAS NOT A EASY DECISION TO MAKE AS WE HAD A SPECIAL LOVE FOR THIS CLUB AND DURING ITS THREE YEARS OF OPPERATION WAS ONE OF MOST ACTIVE AND POPULAR OF THE CLUBS SERVICING THIS COMMUNITY.
THIS DECISION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH OPPOSITION OR PRESSURE FROM ANY OTHER SERVICE CLUBS IN OUR AREA. WE PROVED TO THOSE WHO MAY AT ONCE QUESTIONED IF THIS COULD BE FORMED THEN TO SERVIVE WITH THE EXSISTING CLUBS IN THE AREA .
WE PROVED WE COULD AND IN A SHORT TIME PROVED TO BE AS POPULAR OR MORE AND AS ACTIVE OR MORE ACTIVE THEN THOSE OTHER CLUBS. THE DECISION ALSO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH FINACIAL REASONS..
THE TRUE REASON IS THE TIME REQUIRED TO KEEP THE CLUB GOING. DIANA AND MYSELF FAST BECAME NOT ONLY ITS FOUNDERS BUT OVER ITS YEARS IN OPPERATION THE HEART AND ITS SOLE.
IN LIONS WE ARE TOLD FAMILY COMES FIRST, WELL WE FOUND THIS WAS WORKING JUST THE OPPOSITE FOR US AS THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR ORGAINIZING ALL THE CLUBS FUNCTIONS OVER THE YEARS AND WORKING LONG HOURS AT OUR JOBS THIER WAS LITTLE TIME FOR OUR OWN LIVES.
TO TRY TO SAVE THIS CLUB WE HELD MEETINGS TRYING TO GET OTHER MEMBERS TO TAKE A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN ORGANIZING EVENTS ECT, AND FOR US TO STEP BACK ABIT, AT LEAST FOR A WHILE, ALTHOUGH WE HAD A GREAT MEMBERSHIP AND ITS MEMBERS HARD WORKERS , NO ONE WANTED THE RESPONSIBILITY OF LEADERSHIP IN THE CLUB. SO WHEN THIS ALL FAILED THE DECISION WAS MADE TO DISBAND THE CLUB. AT THE END WE DISBANDED WITH A TOTAL MEMBERSHIP OF TWELVE MEMBERS, THIS TO PLAYED A ROLE, ALTHOUGH THOSE WHO WE HAD AT THE END PROVED THE BE THE TRUE WORKHORSES OF THIS CLUB EVEN WHEN WE HAD THE TWENTY EIGHT WE HAD CHARTED WITH, AND THOSE REMAINING TWELVE WOULD OF STAYED WITH US NO MATTER WHAT.
SO WITH NO ONE WILLING TO TAKE A RESPONSIBLE ROLE IN HELPING WITH THE CLUBS LEADERSHIP ON OCT 22/05 THE FINAL DECISION WAS MADE TO DISBAND.
AT THIS TIME WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK, ALL THOSE WHO PLAYED A ACTIVE ROLE IN SUPPORTING THIS CLUB.
