Dear Fellow Lions
I am honoured and privileged to serve as the 49th President of the Leicester Charnwood Lions Club. Being trusted to led our club once more is a great honour, Due to Covid 19, my first presidential year was extremely challenging but successful.
I was the youngest charter member of the Leicester Charnwood Lions Club. My involvement with Lionism started in Soroti, Uganda in 1967. I am not a stranger to Lionism. I shall do my best to maintain its standards, aims and objectives.
Due to my profession, I am known locally, nationally and internationally as Maz Mashru, the photographer and as a fellow of the American Photographers Association. The fellowship is conferred upon the best of the best in photography.
I am married to Rekha Mashru. We have two adult children who are both married. We are also blessed with three lovely grandchildren and live in a joint extended family.
Lions Clubs are here to help those in nee. Along with our founding principles, problems facing societies get smaller and manageable when members of various Lions clubs get together to serve humanity. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, it become challenging to serve. However I am confident that with the support of the members of the Charnwood Lions Club, we shall be successful. I feel that the challenges ahead will make us stronger, Alone we can do little, together we can do so much more.
I believe our club is one large family, and the strength lies in every member working together. When a team performs together, under the leadership of a captain, it reaches goals and becomes a champion.
My chosen charities for the year are the British Heart Foundation and MacMillan Cancer Support. As per the custom and tradition of the club we will also support various charitable institutions.
My aim for our club is to have fellowship, and fun with fundraising. Finally I have been deeply touched by the assurances, generosity, support and kindness of every member of our member.
Yours in Lionism,
Lion President Rajni Mashru
