Dungog Lions welcomed the new District Governor to the town last Thursday.
Lion Marilyn Kinealy and her husband George are no strangers to town as they lived here for about three and a half years when George managed the RSL Club and they have maintained contacts here since then.
A highlight of the evening was the awarding of life membership of Dungog Lions to Lion Ossie Hicks.
Ossie joined Lions in March 1975 and has made a significant contribution to the club and the town through his continuous input over the 34 years.
