Posted on 25th November 2016 by lionsheraldic78

2016 Banques Alimentaires saw LCYH collaborating their efforts with LC Poissy Doyen, LC Maule, and LC Poissy Blanche de Castille.

There was much activity with the community very generous in their shopping gifts. One particularly generous citizen gave a whole shopping trolley full of goods for us to sort and pack.

LCYH collaborating with LC le Pecq for Des tulipes contre le cancer

Posted on 20th April 201526th October 2015 by lionsheraldic78

“Amid the rows of eccentric colours, three Heraldic Lions prowled under an unrelenting sun, gathering arm-loads of long, elegant tulips, yet the job was not yet done. Deci-bloom bunching sorted, bound, clipped and each slipped into its celluloid funnel for its final journey to market. Multi-colours, converted into cash that will in turn fund research into the fight against cancer in children. A modest gesture on our part leading to a collective avalanche that can change lives.”

We assisted LC le Pecq in gathering tulips for sale in the project to support “Des tulipes contre le cancer”

Plouf 2014 Draws to a fantastic conclusion for Autisme en Yvelines

Posted on 12th March 201526th October 2015 by lionsheraldic78

In a simple ceremony, a cheque for the balance of the 14.000€ raised by LCYH as a result of Plouf’14, was handed over by Daniel Blondel , on behalf of the Club, to Marie-Thérèse Coutrot, Directress of the IME at Carrière s/s Poissy this afternoon.

A short meeting ensued when Ay confirmed their desire and excitement to be the majority partner in Plouf’15 but purely a figurehead in the drive for charity funds for autism during Défi78. A schedule of fund-raising visits to companies in Les Yvelines will be arranged in which Sophie Castro, the English-speaking Chef de Service of Ay, will participate.

The Plouf 2014 project came to its official end on 15th December when we were able to congratulate the winners and confirm to the charity Autisme en Yvelines that we beat all our targets and raised over €12,000 in donations.Plouf 2014 has indeed been a great success in 2014, with 32 teams of local people giving an hour of their time to swim as many lengths as possible to raise funds for charity.

250 participants between the ages of 7 and 77 raised donations from friends and family and then swam as far and fast as they could to help Autism en Yvelines.

There were teams of students from the Lycée International, parents groups, swimming clubs and families where three generations swam together to help the cause of Autism.

At the closing ceremony Monsieur PLOUVIER the deputy Mayor and responsible for Young and sports made a short speech and handed out trophies to the winners.

The Plouf 2014 event was only made possible with the support of many individuals that gave up their time and energy to coordinate and orgaise the event. A special thanks to Patrick Bigant, Pool Manager for opening the pool on a public holiday and being with us through out the day to help with every need.

A trophy for the most money raised by a team went to Alain Cavadini who’s team “St Germain” raised €1264.

Pauline Grieb received the trophy prize for Claude’s swimmers who swam the most lengths (196 in 55 minutes).

Jean Marc Monguillet the President of AY and Michel Cirasse the Treasurer attended the ceremony and made a moving speech about the positive impact that this funding will have on the Autistic children and support.

Congratulations to Roli Oserbaje 7 the youngest swimmer who shared her enthusiasm for swimming and received a teddy bear and trophy.

Also, the special Lions award to Dilys Barré a grandmother, retired teacher and active musician who threw off her years to swim in Plouf.

Please put the date in your diary now and join us on November 11th 2105 for the Plouf 2015 event.
