Karl is new president of Bray Lions Club
IT was a night of celebrations for the Bray Lions Club members as they welcomed the new club president Karl O’Broin at their handover dinner in Martello Hotel.
Karl thanked the outgoing president Jerry Teehan for his hard work and sterling contribution to the club over the past two years.
After a delicious meal was had by all, President Karl welcomed Lions District Governor Teresa Dineen and partner Declan Moon to Bray and to the celebrations. He congratulated Teresa on being the first District Governor of the newly formed Lions District in Ireland.
Karl spoke of the commitment from the founders of Bray Lions Club from 30 years ago and introduced the surviving members – Joe Duggan, Norman Heagney, John McEvoy and Michael O’Brien. Another founding member, Tony Foran, could not attend on the night.
Meanwhile, outgoing President Jerry Teehan thanked all the clubs volunteers and supporters for their contributions through the years and also paid tribute to Molly Comish, who is Ambassador of the Year 2017 for the club and founder of Dignity Packs Ireland, which are small rucksacks of essential hygiene items for homeless men and women.
More than 60 people present enjoyed the evening and Karl thanked Danny Bohan once again for being an outstanding master of ceremonies on the night.
