TATURA LIONS CLUB

PDG Bruce McLeod from the Tatura Lions Club was honoured recently with receiving Life Membership into the Past District Governors Association.

Bruce has served his club and district for over 45 years. Well done, Bruce! The Lions Club have also been cooking up a storm at recent events. They cooked up an enormous sausage sizzle at the recent Environment Council Day in Shepparton.

The day was free for all the kids where they learnt how to manage recycling and good waste management. They also supplied a BBQ at the recent Race Meeting held at the Tatura Race Club on Friday 16th June.

Tatura Rotary Club

Bega Cheese Community Contribution

Tatura residents should have noticed there is a major fundraiser underway to install outdoor exercise equipment in our town. The Rotary Club and many other community groups and businesses have made a big effort to raise funds for the project and we have well over $20,000. The Bega Cheese company has a special relationship with Tatura and was the first to get on board with a promise of $5,000. The Executive Chairman of Bega, Barry Irvin was in our town on June 28 and took the opportunity to present the funds to Rotary Club members Tom Perry and Richard Graves.

We now aim to use those funds to add weight and lever further funding from other sources that support rural and regional development. Shepparton Council has supported the project by promising to insure and maintain the asset once it is installed.
