The Hedon Blog wants to start a conversation with Hedon folk about all things to do with the town.

As part of its “Talking About Hedon” campaign the Hedon Blog aims to reach Blog_Cardout to a wider audience and get new people taking part!

Holderness Lions feedback on fundraising efforts

Posted on October 29, 2009 by | 2 Comments

A small piece in last weeks Holderness Gazette communicated a big message.

Lions International LogoLocal good-cause campaigners, the Holderness Lions, held a fundraising draw in the Hedon Co-op store on 9th and 10th October and raised £487.85 for charity. The Lions would like to thank everyone who took part in the draw and who made a donation and are grateful to the Co-op for its cooperation.

This is fantastic of the Lions to give feedback on their efforts in this way. How many times do we contribute to good-causes and charity but never get to hear anything more about it!

Congratulations to the Lions for the feedback and thanks to the Gazette for printing it!

The Holderness Lions are a local member club of the Lions Club International which describes itself as an “international network of volunteers and friends”.

To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs. Lions Mission Statement.

I am keenly aware that health and wellbeing are the keys to a positive life-experience. I enjoy enthusing and encouraging others and believe hard work, focus and positivity can achieve a great deal.
