At the June 18 meeting of the Bluffton Lions Club, a new president and officers were installed and three new members were inducted.

In the monthly Lions newsletter, Bourassa shared this message:

“I am looking forward to a new year of serving with the Bluffton Lions Club and am very thankful for all that the Bluffton Lions do to support our community. After being installed as club president on June 18th  I presented a list of our club committees that serve as the heart of our club and help us to accomplish so much. Those members present at the meeting responded with the areas of interest.  Be on the lookout for an email from me, and please respond with your areas of interest.  We ask each Lion to serve on at least two committees.  Your officers will be meeting soon to help plan for our new year, and we will use this information to help us build our committees.

“Our committees include: Fundraising Committees – Dare to Dream, 50/50 Charity Raffle, Festival of Wheels, and others.  Club Growth & Service Committees – Membership, Citizen of the Year, Scholarship, Peace Poster, Blaze of Lights, Eye Screening and others.  Project & Social – Recycling, Roadside Cleanup, Diabetes Awareness, Inclusive Playground, Leo Club and others.”
