Outgoing President Doug Malley presented his official report.

He also made a special award to Lion Barry Shepherd for taking over as Acting President last year while he was absent due to illness,  for managing the Christmas Trailer Raffle and for his work at the CarBoot Sale.

The President also made special awards to Lions John Goodwin and Shamus O’Reilly.

The President made special mention of Lions John Turner (19 years a Lion) and John Sneyd (32 years a Lion, and sponsor of 17 new Lions during that time). Both of these Lions are Melvin Jones Fellows, are major contributors to this club’s operations, and will be retiring from Lions on June 30 2008. Lion Barry Shepherd presented an award of excellence to President Doug Malley. Barry’s speech used clever and poetic ways to thank our “outgoing President and Car Boot Sale initiator.”
