Kohima, May 28 (NEPS): Roman Bordoloi, District Governor of Lions Club International of District 322D on Sunday visited Lions Club of Kohima (LCK).
In honor of his visit, a formal function was organized here at the conference hall of Ura Hotel. Expressing his happiness on the visit, the DG highlighted many ongoing and upcoming humanitarian projects of the Lions Club International. He urged the members of LCK to come up with more humanitarian projects other than their ongoing pet projects in Kohima or elsewhere in the State. He also informed the Members about the “Diabetes Awareness” project initiated by the Lions Club International. The Diabetes Awareness of the Lions Club International was necessitated as the World Health Organization estimates that over 422 million people worldwide have diabetes, a growing world epidemic that is expected to affect over 642 million by 2040. He said the members should join in the massive awareness campaign with local community partners.
Bordoloi also urged the LCK to enroll more new members into the Club as they have to serve more people. More members in the Club means more service to the people, he added.
LCK President Tali Jamir, while welcoming the DG, gave him a brief record of the Club activities and also new projects that are to be taken up in the next Lionistic Year – 2017-18. Talitemsu Jamir, Treasurer of the Club, presented the financial record of the Club to the visiting DG, while Aroba, first Vice President of the Club, delivered vote of thanks.
