District Governor Trevor was born in Adelaide in 1948 and after completing school went to work for an electrical wholesaler/retailer for a year.

 

In 1966, the same year that decimal currency was introduced to Australia, he started work with Dunlop at one of their tyre outlets in Adelaide. Over 32 years Trevor attained the position of manager within the industry before leaving in 1998 to take over Mount Gambier Rubber & Plastics. After selling the business in 2010 Trevor retired, so that he could travel, spend more time with his family and do more for Lions.

 

Trevor is married to Lion Sue, also a Lioness, and together they have 4 children & 10 grand children, hence the need to spend a little more time with each of them. With a son in Mackay along with 5 grand children, they like to spend, at least one time a year with them. Another son lives in Adelaide, with 2 grand children, and fortunately the distance from Mount Gambier is not too great that Sue & Trevor are able to see them more often. Trevor & Sue have 2 daughters in Mount Gambier, with 3 grand children between them, which keeps Sue happy, as they are the youngest of the brood & so Sue has plenty of time to spend with them.

 

Trevor has been a Lion for 32 years, joining at Broken Hill in 1979, when moving there with employment.

In 1983 Sue & Trevor uprooted their young family once again & headed to Murray Bridge, due to a transfer with employment, transferred to the Lions Club of Murray Bridge. After 6 years in Murray Bridge, employment took them finally to Mount Gambier, where Trevor transferred to the Lions Club of Mount Gambier where he has been since. During this time Sue has been a member of the Lioness Clubs of Murray Bridge & Mount Gambier, & joined the Lions Club of Kalangadoo in 2009.

During his time as a Lion, Trevor has held all club positions except Lion Tamer, and been on District Cabinets in Districts 201S1, 201S3 & 202C2, for many years. As a cabinet officer, Trevor has also held many positions, with this being his second term as District Governor.

 

District Governor Trevor’s theme for this year is “Youth – Todays Tomorrow”.
