THE new District Governor of Lions Club District 404B Yinka Bolarinwa has pledged that the club during his tenure would improve on the delivery of services that improve the lot of mankind especially in the areas of providing good quality healthcare as well as alleviating the pain of the less privileged, particularly youths.
In his inaugural speech at presentation and fund raising programme at Shaba Center Mobolaji Bank Anthony, Lagos on Sunday, Bolarinwa said in a bid to actualize such goals, the club has secured a parcel of land from the Lagos State government on which to erect a multipurpose building.
He said the building will be designed as a Primary Health and Youth Empowerment Center as well as permanent district secretariat from where direct management and supervision of the center will be provided.
“The primary health center will cater for the underserved community while the youth empowerment center will impact positively on the lives of our young adults across district 404B through training and skills acquisition, he added.
''This year, we intend to impact on more lives than we have ever done before.
Both the district and the club will carry out other important activities and projects such as; preservation and restoration of sight, screening for diabetes, environmental improvement programmes, feeding the under privileged, training of potential Lion leaders, provision of potable and drinking water among others.
Bolarinwa urged members of Lions Club not forget the theme for the year : ‘Together We Raise The Bar'.
“To be proactive is to prognose into the future and strategically plan in both long-term and short-term, while raising the bar is not to settle for status-quo which is a quiet determination to make the world better than we met it.
