Hay - Hay - Hay

Lion Cheryl Fuller has been busy organising hay to go to the south of Tasmania for drought relief. She has manage to round up TWENTY TRUCKLOADS of hay!! Then Cheryl co-opted husband Andrew and the soldiers of the 44th Transport Squadron to move the hay to the Sorell area.
The hay will distributed by the Lions Club of Sorell through the CWA. Picture shows a small portion of the hay being collected b the Army vehicles from Lion Toby Crawford's property at Stowport a few days ago (Toby donated 11 bales). These large bales are valued at $70 or $80 each, so the total monetary value of the donation is considerable....

Our thanks to all involved, and well done Lion Cheryl!!!
