Working Together

The Penguin LEO Club an Ulverstone youth group Enormity worked together in cleaning up Fairway Park in Ulverstone on Clean Up Australia Day last week. This was the first time both groups have worked together on a community project. Penguin Lions also helped out their LEO Club by picking up rubbish and cooking the sausages for their BBQ lunch which followed the clean up. The LEO's and Enormity enjoyed working together and hope this will be the start of many more joint ventures.

Keeping busy

Over the past weekend, Lion Stewart McNeair was extremely busy with the Arts on Fire expo at the Penguin Community Centre, Penguin. With over 30 exhibitors to help organise and coordinate also being part of the entertainment certainly proved that you dont have to be youngster to get things done. Stewart also maned a stall at the Community Services Expo held at the same venue the previous weekend.

Lions District Promotional Van at Expo

On Saturday 10th October members of our club participated in the Penguin Primary School Community Expo. The expo allowed the community to see what services were available in the Penguin Community, eg Lions, various church groups, fire brigade and many other paid and volunteer services. Daniel Eiszele, Wendy Brad, Noeleen Stringer, Megan Mundy and Kara Barker were photographed checking out the information on display at the Lions District promotional van.

National Tree Day at Lions Park
On Sunday, 1st August we planted fifteen (15) small trees suitable for the seaside environment. The trees were donated by Forestry Tasmania.
Following the planting there was a short working-bee for general maintenance and the removal of the ivy from Rock #2. Our clean, but no longer green, rock can be seen behind Lion Nanette in the photograph.
A BBQ and fellowship, aided by great weather, was then enjoyed by those present, a pleasing turnout of Lions and the entire Stringer family.
Contact has been made with a council representative and three dead trees have already been removed. Another working-bee will be needed in September to prepare the park for the Public BBQ in National Seniors Week.
