Club News...................                  Bunnings 2008/09.

 

 

BBQ‘s are being conducted at Bunnings on the 1st Wednesday of the month and provide a great opportunity to show Lions at work in the community. The feed back is always very positive and of course the sausages are very delicious. 

Members of Edwardstown provide the Devonshire Teas on the 3rd Saturday of each month at the Glandore Community Centre, Craft & Produce Market. Along with the scones, the menu now includes carrot cake and soups, all made homemade. We have built a good rapport with stallholders and regular customers join us each month for “the best scones in Adelaide”. 

The “Spring Racing Cabaret” will be held on Saturday 30th October. 7.30pm at the Colonel Light Gardens RSL Hall. Music will be by the band “Bits’n’Pieces” lead by our own Lion Mick. Some more adventurous of us will dress in the “Spring Horse Racing” Theme, hopefully not as a horse.

The Christmas Stocking Raffle is underway. Lions Kevin & Maurie have the tickets printed and in the next few weeks will scour the shops for the goods & toys for the Stocking. Local schools, kindergartens and community groups are able to receive much needed funds through the sale of the tickets and then receiving a donation from Edwardstown Club. 

5 local schools have again been asked to nominate a student/s to receive a David Martin Memorial Leadership Encouragement Award. 

To give examples of the allocation of funds raised, in 2009 we sponsored the purchase of a specially designed wheelchair for use by disabled students attending the Phlato Disability Unit of Hamilton College. We also gave a donation to the Julian Burton Burns Research Fund, to several other Research Foundations and supported the Lions Cord Blood and Childhood Cancer Appeal.

In the 2010/11 Lions year along with our regular recipient organisations, we are sponsoring child mobility walkers to two disabled young brothers and a Lions Hearing Dog for a local resident. Food hampers will be provided at Christmas time and donated goods and clothing will be distributed to several charities.

 

A steady stream of hungry shoppers kept our team busy
