    Lions Charter Night

    The Lebanese German University – LGU, in collaboration with Universal Lions Club, Jbeil, organized its Charter Night on May 23, 2012, at LGU Campus in Sahel Alma.

    Unprecedented in Lebanon and the Middle East, the concept of a campus club has relied on the rewarding efforts of students, administration, and instructors, working in full harmony to lay the foundations of such a successful structure.

    Vice District Governor, Wajih Akkary, started up the ceremony welcoming new members and Lions figures and reminding the audience of the values of the Club in all the activities and events it undertakes. Past District Governor, Gaby Gebrayel, read out the Acceptance Speech that confirms the adherence of the new members. This was followed by the Presentation of the Charter and distribution of member pins by District Governor, Wafa Khoury, ending up in the traditional taking of candid photos of new members and Lions figures.

    A power point presentation reviewed the activities which the Campus Club has been involved in since the start of the academic year, such as the traditional Oktoberfest, campaigning for Jeita Grotto, the organization of Christmas event and the decoration of LGU campus, donating an LCD TV to LGU campus, the organization of Sunshine Day and a seminar on cervical cancer in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health and Notre Dame du Liban Hospital.

    The new president of LGU Lions Campus Club, Nicolas Chami, made a short speech expressing the total dedication of all new members to the cause of the Club and to social service. The ceremony ended with a cocktail. (photos attached)

Prior to receiving his doctoral degree, he held clinical and senior management positions within the private rehabilitation sector in Ontario (Canada), and within international humanitarian aid and development agencies. Dr. Landry is a health policy and services researcher, and his area of study is the policy implications of the gap between available supply (financial and human resources) and increasing demand for rehabilitation and health services across the continuum of care. He is a Past-President of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and a former Career Scientist at the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC). He lectures widely on policy and the political dynamics of rehabilitation, implications on people with disabilities, and is a provocative advocate for the moral, ethical, and economic necessity to ensure accessible and affordable rehabilitation services across the continuum of high, middle, and low-income countries.
