SIBU: The journey towards the success and advancement of a Lions Club for 25 years in service is a milestone and requires the good understanding, close cooperation and personal involvement of all Lions members in a club.

She said teamwork would lead to the ‘Power of We’ and with continuous efforts, serving with dignity and glowing through persistence, they could bring the LCI District 308-A2 to a greater height.
“I will be looking forward to all of your full commitment and support and likewise, as your DG, I will do my best to assist wherever necessary.
“It takes a lot of kind and committed individuals to help change the world and make it a better place. It takes us, as a Lion, to come forward to volunteer and lead by example,” she said.
To the Leos, Pelly said they could really make an impact on people’s lives and the community around them as well as making their own life more fulfilled and rewarding.
