A note from the President

This year I would like to focus on having a good time and gracious spirit while we serve the community. We are a club of excellence so we are going to keep a focused eye on the requirements of Lions International to earn that recognition. We all need to do our part to keep on growing our club through community activities and membership. I think that this year is going to be an amazing one for the Hanover Lions Club.  

President Becky Hanson
