This Member’s Statement was presented by Roland Butler in the House of Assembly on November 26, 2008
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Port de Grave
MR. BUTLER: Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, November 8, the Bay Roberts Lions Club celebrated their forty-fourth charter anniversary.

The event was held at the Lions Club building with District Governor Kevin Noseworthy being guest speaker. Mr. Noseworthy commended the club for the work they perform not only in the community but in the Province, nationally and internationally. It is truly a club that promotes lionism and takes part in many charities that help those who are less fortunate.

Lions Club members were graced with the presence of four of the founding members: Mr. Fraser Morgan, Mr. Boyd Morgan, Mr. Edgar Russell and Mr. Walter Baggs.

It is interesting to note, Mr. Speaker, that Mr. Walter Baggs is the only member to have forty-four years of continuous service and is a life member of the club.

I ask all hon. members to join me in congratulating not only Mr. Walter Baggs but the Bay Roberts Lions Club on forty-four years of dedicated and unselfish service.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
