Bob & Christine Teal Honoured by Lions

Mar 08, 2023

On Saturday night, District #4 Recreation Committee held a Chinese Dinner and Quarter Auction, the first since the COVID pandemic. The hall was packed, tickets sold out in record time, with people eager to participate in this fundraiser. Right after a delicious dinner, Lion Dave Hansen took the stage. In recognition of Dave’s 50 years of Lion Club Service an award was established in his honour in 2016, the Sharbot Lake and District Lions Club Community Service Award, to recognize volunteers for their dedication and commitment to the betterment of their community.

Much to their surprise, Dave presented the award to the 2023 recipients Christine and Bob Teal adding them to a prestigious group of people, including Jim MacPherson, Marcel Giroux, Bill Bowick, John and Irlene Lee. Christine and Bob are dedicated long-standing members of District #4 Recreation Committee, currently serving as Treasurer and President, as well as being actively involved in Central Frontenac Minor Softball and other various organizations throughout the years.

Christine, speaking for both volunteers, thanked Dave for the honour and stated they are proud to be part of an incredible group of people.“Giving back to the community in which we both grew up in and have raised our family is something we love to do.’’

Christine also mentioned the great role models they have and feel fortunate to work with a hardworking and committed group of volunteers in the Recreation Committee. Thank you Christine and Bob for all that you selflessly do for our community and as many have stated it is a very well deserved recognition.
