The program got under way after the national anthem was sung and the invocation prayer was given by Lion Wil Alamilla. Lion Beto Marin, master of ceremonies, introduced the invited guests - Lion members from San Estevan and Belize City.

"I am happy to have served the Lions as president and I wish the new president, Ruben, the best in his presidency," said Fred Alamilla, Lion's President, in his welcome address.

In the annual report, the Lion's biggest projects throughout the past year were noted. One of the biggest projects was the building of the classrooms for the R.C. School. The Lion's Club was proud to inform that they helped thirty seven people, medically, with donations and assistance from the Lions Clinic. Lion membership has also increased from forty one members to forty eight since last year.

Lion Leo Cuellar, P.D.G., was the guest speaker for the event. He urged the San Pedro Lion's Club to work hard, especially through the hard times that they are going through.
