Peterborough Lions had the pleasure of inducting the Mayor of Peterborough, Councillor Paula Thacker as an honorary Lion during her term of office (Paula’s term runs from mid May 2011 through to Mid May 2012). Prior to her induction as a club member, the Mayor had been welcomed as a guest of honour to our “Lions Showtime” event, and we hope to see mayor frequently over the course of her year in office.
