Presidents Blog - July 2024

​​​

Welcome to Filey Lions website, my name is Ian Butler and I was recently given the honour of becomming our Club President for the next 12 months.

​

This is a milestone year for Filey Lions Club, our club was formed (Chartered) in 1964, so we have now been serving the community for 60 years. You may have seen the window display we created in Boots on Murray Street during May and June. This celebrated some of the activities and achievements our members have delivered for the local community over the past 60 years.

 

It can be hard work being a Lions Club member, we have many different fund raising, community and youth related activities going on all year round. My key aim for this year is to ensure we always have fun doing this work and celebrate our successes.

 

I am well known around Filey and another key aim for me this year is to ensure we work closely with other local organisations and businesses, for mutual benefit and hopefully enjoy the fun and satisfaction of making a difference.

​

We are always keen to welcome new members to our Club and remember, we are not just for Filey, we also cover all the surrounding villages. If you cant commit to joining our organisation, but would enjoy helping out at events like the Bonfire and Christmas Sleigh, then please get in touch.

​

Enjoy the rest of the summer, I hope to meet people out and about during our events. Click on the Event Calendar tab for details of what is coming up.
