Lions Brick Fair back in April at Tradies

Happy New Year for 2021! We’re looking forward to fulfilling our commitments to the community by way of fundraising – for those in need and also for enjoyment in our everyday lives.

Community members supporting Lions fundraisers often ask where the money is going. We are very proud to have donated $26,000 to the following over the past two years:

Lions Foundations – $2900

Local Events Activities – $7890
(Easter Scramble, Annual Country Fair,
Wishing Tree, Local Organisations)

Local Schools – $7750

Natural Disaster Relief – $6520
(drought, flood and bushfire relief)

International Project – $1300 (Cheti7 School)

Great news: the SYDLug Brick Fair will be on 17 and 18 April at Helensburgh Tradies. We will keep you updated (about ticket prices, session times and Covid Safe visitor numbers) on our Helensburgh Lions Facebook page.

Lions Clubs made a commitment to serving community environmental-related projects in 1972 and more than 3000 environmental projects are carried out by Lions each year. These projects aim to improve the quality of air, water and land, as well as protect and preserve local flora and fauna.

The Lions Club collects stamps from snail mail letters, which are then sold to collectors. The funds are used to aid the Lions Mobility Foundation, which empowers children who can’t walk unassisted. You can help us by saving your stamps and dropping them into the Tru Blu Variety Shop.
