Yesterday I visited Womens shelter, where they can go to avoid domestic violence and to protect their children. It was so good feeling to go and visit them and hand over to them a check from Lions Club Jönköping with 67 000 Swedish crowns to their activities for women and children. They can go to summer camp and maybe even trip to Skara Sommerland. All this work, what they do there.
I was so happy yesterday, that I had opportunity to go and hand over that check. To gather that many needed quite much work from everyone in Lucia committee and of course hard work from our Lucia girls and choir leader. All, this made possible to leave a check, what makes big changes in someone else's life and gives good memories for children. That is what we all need, a some good memories in our lives, what we can remember, when we are older.
I am happy, that I am part of that big international family, all this fellowship, new people and so much other things what has been very rewarding in so many ways. I am so happy, because it has been possibility for me to learn to know so many wonderful persons. As Lions is standing for - To serve, to Meet and to have a good time. All clubs have different activities, but best part is, when you see, how a small help makes someone else very happy. It does not have to be a big thing, it is enough of small things. Usually the small things is those, what counts and in the end gives back the most.
What has Lions given to me? I can say, it has been given me a lot. People in my life, who has been there since I moved to Sweden. New people, who I have been learned to know during the time I have been a member in Lions. To be a part to make a difference in our community, country and world during all different projects we are doing. Last 7 months I have had honor to be a president in our local Lions Club and this time has been fun, hard work and have given to learn to know much more wonderful persons. I have had so much good times and that has been generate me so much wonderful memories. You are interested to be part of that wonderful community, rewarding memories and make difference in the world - just contact your local Lions Club and ask more questions and if it is for you, when even became a member for the club. Together we can make a big difference and in my case I have became a better person towards to myself.
I am proud to be a Lion!
Have a nice Day,
Ingrit
