Welcome to the Lions Club Sliema Web Site.
It is customary for the welcome piece of an incoming President to give a brief history of the Club’s achievements.   Although I am the first one to praise my predecessors’ successes, one may look up for this information in the archive item in this website.   I prefer to look forward whilst building on the past.   However the present is with us and must be pondered on.

Lions Club Sliema is synonymous with success achieved through hard work and being President of a Club that boasts a prestigious and glorious past is a grave responsibility.   Although I have already served in this position in the years 1992-1994, I admit that this year should prove to be quite challenging.

We ended the year with the untimely demise of our much respected Lion Secretary Joseph Caruana.   The Club inherited a deep void, and as usually happens in the Club, another hard working member Lion Joe Messina stepped in and took over the post temporarily.   However, he is now our fully fledged Secretary and has shown that he possesses all the know-how to execute his duties efficiently.

Then we had to compete with the Football World Cup.   The Annual Awards Night had to be cancelled.   That was not enough.   We had to cancel also our Annual Spare Ribs Night which is normally patronised by not less than 200 persons and is considered to be our best annual fund raiser.

In spite of these disappointments we ended the previous year with the launching of a very ambitious project.   The National Library Book Restoration Project was inaugurated by the Minister of Education Dolores Cristina on the 25^th May, 2010 at the National Library where a sizeable audience could see some of the books that we intend to restore.   As a start we aim to raise €9000 by December and I am pleased to report that our project has created much interest in the media and in other quarters.   This is a long term project and it is planned that the Club’s involvement should carry on for at least three years.

Another commitment that needs much thought and hard work is the 2010 Gathering.   It is expected that Lions from various countries will join us in this event which will end with our Charter Night on the 20^th November.   Some of our Twinned Clubs have already shown interest to attend and we expect this year’s celebration of Charter to be a memorable one.

There are other activities in the programming stage, but these shall be announced in due time.   I feel great enthusiasm from the members which guarantees another successful year for Lions Club Sliema, the Club we all work for in true Lionistic Spirit.
