What is World Service Day?

Annually, Lions Club International celebrates World Service Day. Worldwide Lions Clubs celebrated World Service Day by conducting a variety of activities. October 8th is the official date set aside for World Service Day, when community work is done by club members in the various districts.

This year our club was no exception. On Sunday 21st October Lions members helped organize a World Service Day activity at the Gibson Park Centre for members from the Grandparents Rearing Grandchildren and a local refuge.

It was a welcome day’s outing for members of these two groups. Children were entertained with lots of fun activities and a sausage sizzle in the park, whilst their parents enjoyed some valuable time out and relaxed over a well prepared lunch service by our Lions members, with a little help from family and friends!

A classic local world service day activity! A BIG thank you to all lions members who helped make this a very well organised event and most importantly a very special and enjoyable one for all the participants. A great team effort!

Thank you note from the “Grandparents”

On behalf of Grandparents Rearing Grandchildren WA (Inc) can I please thank all your Lions Members for the wonderful day last Sunday.

The children really enjoyed themselves and were so well watched, that we could all relax inside and enjoy the very tasty meal provided. Every one of our members commented on the fact that it was not only lovely being waited on, but without having little people interrupting us constantly, we could really relax.

Please pass on our grateful thanks to your terrific helpers, and especially to you for all your hard work.

Kaye Bendle,
President,
