Great gift for ice hockey club "Alūksne" (July, 2013)

Early spring of 2013 our long term partners and sponsors LC Sundbyberg came up with news having amount of 30 000 SEK to be landed as donations to the ones in need in Aluksne municipality.

We should admit over years we have been mosly involved in supporting social and health care institutions in our municipality. Also this time part of Sundbyberg's donation has been used to purchase beds for house of elderly (http://www.lionsclubs.lv/?s=1207746957&fu=read&id=248&start=1&ln=en).

However after intensive brainstorming we proposed our friends in Sundbyberg to participate also in activities targeted to young people thus helping to keep them further away of sporadic street activities finally turning out into criminal trends. Thus idea to gift LEGO robotics sets to Aluksne centre of children and youth (http://www.lionsclubs.lv/?s=1207746957&fu=read&id=266&start=1&ln=en) as well as goalkeepers gear to ice hockey club "Alūksne" has been proposed to LC Sundbyberg and finally accepted as well. We should say we were very pleased with their decision and eager to proof it has been the right and smart one!

We are deeply convinced any activitiy that can keep our kids and teenagers busy is a great investment into better future. Our co-operation with ice hockey club "Alūksne" has been discused in our club several times and finally common conclusion was if we like to help somehow and could it has to be help to obtain goalkeepers gear as gear of regular players is more or less affordable by the players itself but due to much larger expenses their own goalkeepers gear has been a dream for club since a long time.

Now by help of LC Sundbyberg and LC Alūksne this dream has become true! Many thanks for LC Sundbyberg and Imants Eiche in particular!
