CELEBRATING 22 years of dedicated service, the Georgetown Stabroek Lions Club hosted a dinner to reflect on its journey, recent achievements, and future goals.

Club President, Latoya Pereira, shared with the Guyana Chronicle that the evening was designed as a meaningful gathering for members to connect, review past accomplishments, and solidify their commitment to future projects.

The Georgetown Stabroek Lions Club, which began in 2002 with the sponsorship of the South Georgetown Lions Club, has since grown into a 31-member team dedicated to upholding the Lions’ motto, “We Serve.”
Under Pereira’s leadership, the club has tackled key areas such as environmental protection, hunger relief, and disaster response in Georgetown. She introduced the year’s theme, “Lions Unleashed: Roaring for Change,” emphasising the importance of bringing strength, energy, and focused action to community service.

“This theme embodies strength, energy, and a powerful call to action for positive transformation within our community,” Pereira said. Her background with the Civil Defence Commission and the Caribbean Youth Environmental Network in Guyana, she added, shaped her passion for service and her commitment to helping others.

Looking to the future, Pereira outlined ambitious goals for the club. “Our aim is to double our community projects over the next two years and increase our membership by at least 50 percent. We want to bring in individuals who are ready to give back, who are true transformers in society. Together, we will create the positive change that every community deserves.”

As the club celebrated this milestone, Pereira also invited others in the Georgetown community to join the Lions’ mission. She noted that the dinner underscored not only the club’s achievements but also its continued pledge to humanitarian work, strengthening its vision to serve Georgetown with greater impact.

The event was both a celebration and a moment to re-energise, as the Georgetown Stabroek Lions Club looks ahead to creating even more lasting change in the years to come.
