DIAMOND HEART BEATS

I AM PROUD TO BE A LION. MEMBER OF LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL. TRICHUR CHAPTER. LIONS CLUB OF KOORKKENCHERY. DIST 324 E2.
WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED 60 SUCCESSFUL HEART SURGERY FREE OF CHARGE TO POOR AND DESERVED PATIENTS WITHIN OUR LIONISTIC DISTRICT 324 E2. [ MALAPPURAM, TRICHUR AND PALAGHAT REVENUE DISTRICTS]
WE COULD GATHER YETERDAY [11-13-09] AT HOTEL ASOKA INN, TRICHUR WITH ABOUT 67 CLUBS IN THE DISTRICT TO CELEBRATE THIS FESTIVAL. WE SHALL BE COMPLETING MINIMUM 100 FREE HEART SURGERY BEFORE JUNE OUR FINANICIAL YEAR.
ALL THE FUNDS FOR THIS WERE CONTRIBUTED BY LIONS CLUB MEMBERS OF DIFFERENT REGION WITHIN THE BUSINESS DISTRICT. MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION WAS RS 50,000.00 @ HEAD. SOME MEMBERS HAD GIVEN MORE THAN THIS AMOUNT. YESTERDAY ABOUT 12 PAST DISTRICT GOVERNORS WERE PRESENT TO GRACE THE OCCASION. THE CHIEF GUEST WAS LION K. G. RAMAKRISHNA MOORTHY, THE HEAD OF INTERNATIONAL WING REPRESENTING INDIA AND OUR BUSINESS DISTRICT.
ALL THE SPONSORS AND SOME OF THE PATIENTS AND DIGNITORIES WERE GIVEN MEMENTO AND THE FUNCTION WAS VERY COLORFUL.
I AM SURE OUR LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT IN OUR DISTRICT CAN DO MORE SIMILAR PROJECTS.
THIS PROJECT WAS A DREAM OF OUR DISTRICT GOVERNOR LION GEORGE DE DAS AND THE CONCERNED DISTRICT CHAIRMAN LION C D SEBASTIN.
"BE DIFFERENT AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE" IS THE MOTO OF OUR DISTRICT GOVERNOR LN GEORGE DE DAS.
WHILE CONCLUDING THE MEETING OUR VICE DISTRICT GOVERNOR LION T. K. KISHORE SAID THAT HE TOO WILL CONTINUE THE SAME SERVICE DURING HIS TENURE. I HAVE PLEASURE TO WELCOME OUR NON LION READERS TO JOIN THIS CLUB WHO DO THE LARGEST HUMANITARIAN ASSOCIATION.
APART FROM HEART SURGERY OUR CLUB CONDUCTS FREE CATARACT SURGERY. ERADICATE BLINDNESS FROM THE UNIVERSE ALSO IS A MOTO OF THIS GREAT CONCERN.
THE MEETING WAS ADJOURNED AT 10 PM FOR FELLOWSHIP, DINNER AND ENTERTAINMENTS.
