Bluffton Lions Club appoints Bourassa as president

At the Bluffton Lions Club meeting on June 18, a new president and officers were installed and three new members were admitted.

In the monthly Lions newsletter, Bourassa shared this message:

“I am looking forward to a new year of service with the Bluffton Lions Club and am very grateful for all that the Bluffton Lions do for our community. After my swearing-in as club president on June 18, I presented a list of our club committees that are the heart of our club and help us accomplish so much. Members present at the meeting responded with areas of interest. Look for an email from me and please respond with your areas of interest. We ask that each Lion serve on at least two committees. Your officers will be meeting soon to help plan our new year and we will use this information to build our committees.
