WELLESBOURNE AND DISTRICT LIONS CLUB :
The Lions Club of Wellesbourne have had their usual busy month and would like to thank those who supported a joint charity fundraising event raising money for Bangladeshi flood victims. The event, with traditional music and dancing was held at Shah's Indian Restaurant in Wellesbourne on the 1st June raising over £1500 to help the people of Sylat in Pakistan and surrounding areas.
Lions volunteers will be collecting on the North and Southbound Warwick service station off the M40 on the 29th June in aid of the Air Ambulance and will be grateful for support , if you see us.
The annual Lions Raft Race jointly organised with Shakespeare Lions Club to be held on the 22nd June this year goes from strength to strength with 32 new rafter teams as well as many old timers getting involved and is hoping for fine weather to top off this fun and lucrative event.
For the past 16 years Lions Clubs have welcomed children of ages 6-11 affected by the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster to visit our area for the day. This year on the 24th June there will be 10 children accompanied by their carers who will meet with host Lion Vic to begin their day at Stratford for a trip on the river, followed by a visit to Brantano for new shoes, lunch and then off to see the Butterfly Farm.
Lady Lions have been busy this month and raised over £290 at a Pamper Evening held in Barford raising money for The Friendship Project
