of the United Church. "It takes a lot of
energy to let everyone have their say. As
chairperson of the Presbytery, I would like
the people to have a voice (within the
church)."
Purple and gold are, no doubt, the
favourite colours of • Grant Chisholm.
Mostly because they are the colours of the
Lions Club which has faithfully served for
23 years..
"Anybody fortunate enough to live in
this good country Should do a little extra.
For me, it's a way of saying thanks to the
country," says Mr. Chisholm of his
involvement with the Uons Club. He has
two sons who are also lions Club
members,
Mr. Chisholm, who owns and operates a
home heating fuel and gas station on the
edge of Lucknow, first started, with the
Lucknow Mons in 1962. Since that time
he's been the president of the Lrdknow
branch, zone chairman, district deputy
governor and finally governor over a
number of clubs in south western Ontario.
For the past nine years, he has served as
the chairman for the Lioness Club as part.
of the district cabinet in the Uons. This
past April, Mr. Chisholm was presented at
a Lions convention in Owen Sound, with a
large quilt and a colour television set from
the Lioness Clubs in south western
Ontario. The quilt has all the lioness
members signatures on the quilt front all
the clubs in the area in appreciation of his
nine years work with the club.
"The ladies love . me," says Mr.
Chisholm with a grin. They wouldn't have
given me the quilt if they didn't.
His duties as Lioness chairman was to
set up the dubs in a number of towns as
well as to hold officer training seminars in
order to describe to the club's executive
what their duties were. He is also a source
of information to the clubs when they need
advice on a matter, he says. As chairman,
he has set up .17 Lioness clubs in such
places as Dundalk, Arthur and Goderich.
Mr. Chisholm says the lions dub is open
to anyone over the age of 18 and is of good
character. The word "Lions" stands for,
lI
"Liberty, Intelligence and Our Nations
Safety", and their motto is, "We Serve".
The lions Club is an international
organization with 1,344,417 members. in
157 nations.
Lucknow President
Mr. Chishohn took on the presidency of
the Lucknow lions in. 1971. The job of
president is to run the meetings and make
sure all the individual committees are
running smoothly. He says the Lrclma*
Lions have been responsible for a number
of projects in Lucknow, including the'
swimming pool and the .00rtinaunity Centre.
The "pet" project of the Lions now is to
head the fund raising for the new arena:
He says they hope to raise $450,000
towards the arena.
In 1972, Mr. Chishohn ran successfully
for zone chairman. He says the . zone
chairman's duty was to hold meetings four
times a year with the presidents of the
zones, there are usually six to eight clubs
contained in a zone, Different projects from
each. zone would be discussed at the
meeting.
During his term as zone chairman, one of
his reponsibilities was to form new clubs in
the area. Mr. Chisholm .said one of his
biggest accomplishments was to establish
Uons Clubs in Kincardine and Port Elgin.
He said it was especially gratifying to see
the amount of the work the clubs have
done.
"It's really a thrill to see the tremendous
work these clubs are doing. It's satisfying
to know that you are responsible for it," he
says.
The next rung on the lions club ladder
for Mr. Chisholm was the district deputy
governor job in 1914. This meant meeting
with two zone chairmen and a total of 48
clubs in . the area discussing any fund
