She said: “As we gather to deliberate on issues, share ideas and chart new paths, let us bear in mind that every act of kindness we extend is a beacon of hope to that one person in need.
“As Lions, we are all about service and unity. We need each other’s strength to make the real impact. At all times, regardless of whatever situation, we need to serve together.”
