Other News:

Lion Dale and Lion Jenny attended the Thank You dinner at Orana. Orana is always looking for volunteers to drive elderly clients to and from Orana in East Devonport, they are looking for people with new activities or initiatives for the elderly, but also need friendly people to just visit and socialise with clients.

Jenny Smith from the Sheffield Lions Club has become our new Zone Chairperson!

Lion Rob and Lady Lion Michelle attended the Kentish Changeover dinner where they were impressed that our very own Lion Bill was the Installation Officer who breather the Lion light into the Kentish Lions Club back in 1987.

We still have small and large Christmas Cakes available for anyone who cares to have a nice fruitcake for any reason.

Great Job!

The City of Devonport Lions club regularly donates to good causes in the town that we live in as well as to state, national and international causes. Every week we receive requests for help and donation and we have to make tough decisions.Of course we love to help all of you, and we encourage everyone who has a good cause to request help from the Lions Clubs. We participate in community events and help support many social community activities.

Just in the past 12 months we have made cash donations to St Vincent de Paul Society, the Salvation Army, Disaster Relief, the New Guinea Youth Camp, the Tasmanian Lions Foundation, Menzies Research, the Lions Biggest BBQ, the Soroptomists, Baptcare, Queensland Floods, the Mater Hospital, and numerous other organisations.

We also receive some nice thank you letters which we like to see. Here are just a few -CLICK HERE-.

Because we donate we also need donations, donations from the public. By donating to the Lions Club you are sure that your money goes to a great organisation that helps our community! We are always looking for new volunteers, members, and causes. Contact info@devonportlions.info for more details.
