CITY CLUB CELEBRATES CENTENARY
OF LIONS INTERNATIONAL
A century ago Melvin Jones, a Chicago insurance
salesman had a Vision: What if people put their
individual talents to work improving life in their
own communities. Many fellow citizens
responded to his appeal for volunteers and he
called them Lions because ,in his mind, the
mighty lion epitomised the strength, courage and
fidelity they would need to create the community
action groups he envisaged.
Today Lions Clubs International is universally
respected as the largest community service
organisation in the World, with 1.4m million men
and women volunteers in 46,000 clubs in 200
countries.
Hereford Lions Club was founded in 1960 -
better late than never – but in its 57 years the club
and its members have certainly made a big
difference to the lives of those in our community
needing a helping hand .
To mark the landmark, Hereford Lions Club
donated £1,000 each to ten local charities,
everyone one of them and their volunteer workers
doing exactly what Melvin Jones asked of his
own community way back in 1917.
The cheques were presented by Lady Darnley,
Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of Herefordshire
at a Civic Reception in the Town Hall hosted by
the Mayor, Cllr Sharon Michael. Said club
president Ian Foster, “It was a wonderful evening
paying tribute not just to those in Hereford, but to
volunteers across the world who help make their
own communities better and safer places to live
and bring up families.”
The ten charities and a brief description of their
contribution to the community:
ASPIRE
Aspire was formed 30 years ago to support adults
with learning difficulties and now run the Canal
Road day centre for those with extra care needs.
Cheque received by Karen Hall.
BARRS COURT SCHOOL
This is a school for children with special
educational needs and disabilities. Lions Club has
close links with the school and can vouch for the
marvellous work they do. Cheque received by
Lisa Appleton.
THE BLOOD BIKES
A national team of motorcycle volunteers who
provide an out of hours emergency courier service
to hospital
