Our Official Opening - 21st May 2009
 

It was a good day, all around. The weather was good, there were plenty of people there to help us celebrate, and the atmosphere was great. Our Guest of Honour, seen wielding the scissors, was Alan Hansen, former Scottish International, and Captain of Liverpool FC. Also starring were our own Lion President Joan Rylands, and Cllr Brenda Porter, a supporter of the Southport Dialysis Unit Fund.

Our Shop’s Special Events
 

There are special events in the life of every one and every organisation, and our shop is no different. Here are our Special Events

In celebration of the opening, Southport Lions Club were delighted to hand over a cheque for £1000 to the Southport Dialysis Unit Fund, to assist them with their excellent project. Seen with Mr Hansen and Cllr Porter, is Dr Leslie Grimshaw for whom the opening of the Unit earlier this year represented a special memorial to his late wife June who died following several years of dialysis in units around the region.

 

A cheque for £350 was presented to Christians Against Poverty, a group which assists some of the most needy of our fellow citizens in and around Southport. Southport Lions Club contributes in a number of ways, including the provision of domestic equipment, for those in the greatest need.

 

So, all in all, we couldn't have had a better opening. Many thanks indeed to everyone who made it possible: our Guest of Honour, and the representatives of the Dialysis Fund and CAP; our volunteers, who run the shop from day to day with style and enthusiasm; and our Lions Club members who carry the can!
