Don Coghlin of the Howick ons presided over the tallation ceremonies. He ddressed the gathering of proximately 25 on what ft eans to be a Lion. Mr. Coghlin said that being Lion is fun first and fore- ost. But he broke the word n down to explain what onism really means. 'The "f" stands for lowship and friends made er the years, and he cited is own experiences through e club as an example. Mr. ghlin has _travelled to stralia and New Zealand Visit friends made through association with the ons. e "u" stands for the derstanding and unique- ness off Lions which they show to each other and to the community as a whole. The recent Timmy Run in which the Wingham Lions raised $2,713.76 for crippled children is an example of their involvement for a • worthwhile cause. Finally Mr. Coghlin said the "n" represents needs, the needs of Lions them- selves, of the community and of the world. He pointed to Participation Lodge involve- ment as a way Lions are hel- ping to. meet the needs of the community and of the handicapped in particular. In closing, Mr. Coghlin referred to the Lions as a tree. The individual clubs are its roots. It branches into the district and the 'flowers are the Lions International. He stressed that the Lions start at the roots or with the individual clubs. Past President Arun Ghosh thanked the Lions for their help and cooperation over the past year. He pledged his support and experience to in -coming president, John McInnes, President McInnes asked for the help and support of the Lions and said he will fight to make the club even bigger and better in the upcoming year.
