One Lion – a school principal, who had great success in her school kitchen garden, was the necessary ‘consultant’, to advise on the layout for the different types of vegetables to be planted.. The visit was also to determine the materials needed for the repair of the fence and the establishment of a gate.

The advent of the internet and telecommunication networks have made getting in touch with Lions locally and elsewhere very easy and less time consuming for Lions who must communicate with others about Club matters and otherwise.Teleconferencing, text messages, e-mails are used constantly. Some members are even helping others with Face-book and other modalities of the internet.

For the sake of information.
