MELAKA:The pioneer Lions Club in the state came forward to support individuals, non-governmental organisations and vernacular schools in the state through fundraising initiatives.
Lions Club of Ayer Keroh president P. Logenthiran joined forces with the club’s past president, Datuk Dr N. Gajendran to organise a fundraising dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Kota Laksamana on Friday (Dec 21).
The event saw the presence of club's members from Kuala Lumpur and Negri Sembilan including the club’s district governor, Cassie Lim.
In his speech, Logenthiran expressed his gratitude and reaffirmed the club’s commitment to kindness and generosity, principles that continue to be guided by Lim’s leadership.
“The club is committed to continuing its service to the community through various initiatives and outreach programmes,” he said.
Logenthiran said the fundraising dinner not only raised essential funds for various causes but also reinforced the Lions Club’s mission of service and humanitarian aid.
Dr Gajendran, who was also the organising chairman of the dinner, echoed Logenthiran's sentiment, highlighting the importance of ongoing support for the underprivileged and marginalised groups in the state.
“There is still much to be done to serve those in need.
"I also hope this event will create an everlasting impact on those present, inspiring them to contribute towards helping others,” he added.
The event was further graced by the presence of Datuk Dr K. Nagaratnam, a key figure in establishing the Lions Club in Melaka.
Dr Nagaratnam, a dedicated member of the Lions Club since 1978, has held numerous leadership roles in the club, both locally and internationally.
