The City of Devonport Lions were out and about in the Rooke Street Mall again this year for 65 Roses Day. Over $500 was collected in the 3 hours of rain, not a bad effort for Devonport!
In other news... June 23rd is the Soroptomist 60th Anniversary dinner to which we are invited, and it is also the Lions Club of Ulverstone's change-over night - where we are also welcome to attend! Our own change-over dinner is the week after, on June 30th.
The Devonport (horse) Racing Club is scheduling 19 meetings for next year which will keep us on our toes. The income our club receives for attending the gates is significant. Next year we will finetune the member rostering procedures so we get a bit of a say in when we are rostered on and this should help in keeping us happy. The Lions have been on the race-gates for over 40 years now - since January 1966.
Lion Hoss was awarded with a fine poster for the shed to recognise his major part in making the shed a reality. We hope Lion Hoss hangs the poster in the shed, and not in his bedroom at home.
We need to arrange a busy bee for our Lions Caravan as it is in need of some TLC. Our June 14th meeting has a guest speaker scheduled make sure you make it, the Magic Show is locked in for December 3rd this year,... If anyone has any notes on the Work for the Dole guest speaker we had earlier please email/see Lion Walter!
