Rollingstone & District Lions Club Inc.

Hello Rollingstone, and pleased to bring you another report highlighting what our local Lions have been doing to support our Community. Our Lions.

Some of our Service Projects this month have included:

• A stall at the Balgal Beach Markets promoting “Who are the Lions and what do we do?”

• A Bunnings BBQ with proceeds going to support local Community Projects.

• Part of the local Community Groups who supported the Communities Morning Tea for new arrivals to our Community

• Supported our Leo Club with their Easter Bunny Project at the Townsville University Hospsital

• Supported the RSL ANZAC Day Commemorations

• Conducted our Monthly Sunday morning Brunch.

• And at the end of the month, two of our members represented our Club at the Lions National Convention on the Gold Coast, and will report back to Club Members on new initiatives and Projects being implemented to support those in need within our own country. And on Easter Monday, members took time out for a casual Social BBQ Lunch in the Garden at the Muller’s residence – Thank you Shirley & John. And wonderful to have Lion Tracey join us with her delightful Australian Lions Hearing Dog “Mawson” – he was the Star of the day and impressed us all with the way he could romp in the yard but still be ever alert to Tracey’s needs. And a great TV interview on Channel 7 on 19th April with Tracey and Mawson, with the interviewer lauding the Rollingstone Lions Clubs efforts in procuring Mawson and supporting Tracey through the process. A great example of a National Project of Lions supporting one of our own locals!

See you again next month, and if you are looking for an opportunity to volunteer a little of your time to “Make a Difference” in your community, please give me a call. We would love to talk with you!
