Lions club entertains senior citizens and hands over cheque to MS Centre

The Berkhamsted Ukulele Band entertained guests at the Tring Lions event.

Club members, partners and friends collected people from their homes for this much anticipated event, held at the town’s Victoria Hall.

Guests were entertained by the Berkhamsted Ukulele Band, who played some old time classics and encouraged people to sing along.

Food and drinks were provided and served up by Tring Lions.

Tring Lions entertained almost 100 senior citizens.

During the evening Tring Lions president Mick Claxton presented a cheque for £5,500 to chief executive of the Chilterns MS Centre Robert Breakwell.

The donation was made on behalf of other local lions clubs, along with Tring other contributors were Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempstead and Watford clubs.

Mr Claxton also used the event as an opportunity to promote the Message in a Wallet scheme, which encourages people to record medication requirements, next of kin and other important details to keep in their wallet or purse, so that they can quickly receive the right treatment should they fall ill while out and about.

The initiative is being rolled out across the district by other participating lions clubs.
