after their induction into the Lions Club of Jomtien-Pattaya.
Proceeds from this event will aid a local health clinic,
Nong Phang Kae, Jomtien. This is a medical facility that delivers primary
care to some 9,000 residents, treating on average 600 patients per month.
Patients are in the low income category and can not therefore afford
treatment at hospitals of international standard. The clinic’s objective
is to upgrade the facility and improve the building.

Private Client Banking Division, officially handed over a donation of
100,000 baht to Paul Davies, who received it on behalf of the Lions Club of
