In the year 2022, the Lions Club opened its doors to female members as well.
New Woman President of Lions Club Willich Aims to Make a Difference
Berenike Lüder, the newly elected president of the Lions Club Willich, is making history as the first woman to hold the position in the club's 33-year history. Her motivation for taking on this role is to promote the Lions Club Willich and bring about change within the community.
Established in 1989 by a group of Willich men, the Lions Club Willich currently has 27 members, including four women. Lüder emphasizes the importance of club-internal exchange and aims to make the Lions Club Willich more present and to bring about change.
One of her most important tasks as president is to make a difference in Willich. To achieve this, she has set three tasks for herself: setting accents, maintaining contact with other volunteers, and winning new members. Lüder also aims to promote exchange and attract new members to the Lions Club Willich.
The admission of women to the Lions Club Willich in 2022 is likely to have broadened its membership demographics, making the club more representative of the local population. It has also enriched discussions and decision-making processes through varied viewpoints. The club has expanded its volunteer initiatives and outreach programs due to diverse interests and talents, and has strengthened community relations and inclusivity by reflecting the community's gender diversity.
The Lions Club Willich organizes various events, such as a golf tournament, a Lions Advent calendar, "One-Part-More" action, and "Four Chefs for Willich". The proceeds from these events are primarily donated to local associations or institutions in Willich.
Lüder welcomes anyone who wants to be active in volunteering at the Lions Club Willich. Information about joining the club can be found on their website www.lions-willich.de, and direct contact with the club is possible via email at [email protected]. Lüder's credo is that the more people stand up for a cause, the more they can make a difference, which she aims to achieve in Willich. Lüder has been the president of the Lions Club Willich for a year.
The Lions Club Willich, under the leadership of its president Berenike Lüder, plans to extend its influence beyond traditional club activities, focusing on sports, outdoor-living, lifestyle, and home-and-garden initiatives to attract a broader demographic and foster a more inclusive community. Lüder strives to make Willich a place where these interests intertwine and enrich each other, promoting a holistic approach to community development and volunteer work.
