Serving Lunch at Orana
As the weather beats rain against our windows, Lions-club volunteers are serving lunch at the Orana Respite Centre. We do this twice a year to make a difference. The elderly folk really appreciate this social event and make a big effort to attend. Now that the food is supplied to us this event certainly rates as one of the most pleasant volunteering events on our calendar.
Old Time Music Hall 2009
It is Old Time Music Hall time in Sheffield, the Kentish Lions Club's main annual fundraiser. The City of Devonport Lions Club is of course keen to come and watch one of the packed shows, and will do so on Friday 28 August. The show consists of hilarious jokes, singing and dancing, and even an American sketch about a well hidden Indian Reservation in Kentish County complete with sheriffs, grey mares and maidens in distress.
The food was your typical country fair, complete with beef roast, baked and mashed potatoes, boiled vegies and a choice of ice-cream with tinned fruit or sticky date pudding with custard and cream for desert. All swallowed down with nice wine and beer, complimentary coffee and plenty of entertainment! All in all a highly recommended local experience!
New members!
Another new member! Dale Hawkens sponsored Barrie Cooper into the club, and he was invocated tonight by President Jim.

Training Day Sunday 6 September
Subject matter: The roles of the Membership Chairman and Committee with in the club structure.
It has come to my notice that few clubs have an appreciation of what is expected of the committee and how it works and as a result our Region is leading by example by instigating a Training session.
A reply and numbers would be appreciated. If the numbers are more than the centre can accommodate then we will arrange for a larger venue like the penguin High School.
Kind regards,
John C Medwin "The Old Goat."

Lions Update
Did you know that 1015 new CLUBS were formed around the world in just the past 12 months? Surprised? Well we also added 42000 new members! Closer to home we have Noel Viney OAM (yes, yet another Lions member honoured with an OAM!) who was admitted into the Australian Lions Foundation Hall of Fame in recognition of his exceptional dedicated service to The Lions Clubs of Australia and Lions Clubs International. His comment: 'I was a little overwhelmed.'
Also, as a note of interest, the Lions Club of King Island is celebrating its 40th Charter Anniversary this month! They are celebrating this 1st of August at their Changeover Dinner at the Rocky Glen Retreat on King Island. Congratulations from the City of Devonport!
