The honours were bestowed on them by the previous District Governor, Jos\u00e9 Braga Borges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The club received the following awards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Top 6 Club;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Top 6 President \u2013 Lion president, Glenda Hon;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Top 6 Secretary \u2013 Lion secretary, Yolanda de Jager;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most Improved Club, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Membership Chairperson Award \u2013 Lion Malcolm McCallum.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hon, Lion president, and the members attending were totally bowled over as they did not expect it at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She mentioned that the awards, a combination of individual and club awards, were as a result of club members&#8217; positivity and preparedness to roll up their sleeves and assist in the community when needed to do so. She also mentioned that three members from the club are currently serving on the District 410W Cabinet \u2013 De Jager (District chair for the Lions Peace Poster programme), McCallum (Zone chair for Zone 9) and fellow club member Jacques Mostert (District chair for specialty clubs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hon thanked the local community and organisations for their continuous assistance. She mentioned that more members would enable the club to reach out to even more people and invited interested community members to contact the club and follow its Facebook page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;For more than half a century, the Lions Club of De Grendel has been touching lives, giving hope, and showing the true meaning of serving with heart,&#8221; Bevil Lackay, District governor, said during a visit to the club recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Hon, while the club was very honoured to receive the awards and with the kind words of Lackay still echoing, the club is still doing what it likes doing best, serving its community and showing that kindness really does matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De Grendel Lions Club won
