South Australia PDGs
Christmas Lunch
Thirty
two PDGs and wives enjoyed a Christmas Lunch at the Royal Coach Motel.
Our Hosts for the day were PDG Bob and Barbara Rowell. Immediately after
the Lunch were we visited by Father Christmas who moved around the
dining room and gave all in attendance including other Guests a small
gift.
The numbers were down this
year due to apologies from many members who were unwell or involved with
Club projects and a very large Zone Meeting at Millicent in the South
East.
The photo J is a banner
that the Late PDG Ern Sconce left to me in his Will, with the names of
the District Governors for District 201 N. Ern asked that the banner be
kept by the SA PDGs in memory of District 201 N. Photo K is a banner
with bannerettes going back to Bill Tresise MBE the Founder of Lions in
Australia. PDG Geoff Oates asked me to put it with the banner from 201 N
so it would be preserved and hung at all functions held by our
Association.
Some of the members
present asked what had happened to the banners from 201 J and the other
old Districts, no one present knew where they were or what had happened
to them.
The next function will be
the Annual PJNSC (letters of the various Districts since Lionism started
in South Australia in 1961) where the members farewell the new DG Elects
before they leave for the International Convention to be inducted.
The Hosts for this Lunch
are decided by rotation, this year they will be PDG Bob and Kaye Dewell.
