Gunns Mitre 10 Hardware? Nope, no longer. The new image launch for BECKS HARDWARE is 10 December, and the City of Devonport Lions will be there to do the BBQ.
The over 90s birthday celebration was a great success again. The senior citizens choir performed as per usual, but this time it was followed by a youthful performance of the Slipstream Circus. The circus acts performed by young people from the local area was much appreciated by the 70+ people over 90. Eleven drivers were busy helping ferry the elderly to and from their abodes, many drivers making multiple trips. Ten points to Cathy Clayton, Ree Loane and Jim Pearson for organising it this year.
Next Wednesday, 30 November, is the official opening of the new Child and Family Centre in East Devonport. The opening is held at the East Devonport Primary school and is followed by a Lions Club BBQ at 1045am. Jenny Rimmer negotiated a $50 voucher from Woolworths for the BBQ food!
Magic Show coming closer now! Tuesday 6 December at 11am and 1pm at the DEC! Lions members were keen to volunteer to be ushers for these performances.
The Devonport Apex Christmas Parade is on again on Friday 2 December 2011! Meet at Lion Deanne’s place to get the float ready for lift-off at 4pm, or meet at the old Motors Site in Devonport at 630pm to support fellow Lions.
Also on 2 December we are selling Lions Christmas Cakes in the Rooke Street Mall. Starting at Noon. Be there to buy or to sell, eating is later.
Finally we have the annual Soroptomists’ Carols by Candlelight which this year is back at the Sound Shell at the Bluff; Sunday 11 December starting at 7pm City of Devonport Lions will be there to set up 9-11am and from 530pm onwards. More volunteers always appreciated, this is a big event for us, all hands on deck please!
The skate-park planned for East Devonport had a small hiccup! The council approved plans had to be changed because of copyright technicalities, and Lion Grant had to source another design which was simple enough except that it now has to go through the Devonport City Council approval process again. Fortunately it will be bigger and better. The Lions Club is supporting the project with up to $20K and funds have been approved from the Council, the Premiers Fund and the Tasmanian Community Fund, plus Cement Australia, Quickmix and Darren Smith from Fairbrother’s amongst many other supporters and sponsors have been right behind the entire project. Construction will now commence shortly after Christmas.
