After a quick dinner (thank you Corinne) all Club members were able to lend a hand in a production line completing Santa sacks. These Santa sacks will be used by Backpacks 4 VIC Kids when they distribute Christmas gifts to children in out-of-home care. Last year they required 4000 Santa sacks, so it is a great idea to be working on this early in the year. It was wonderful to be joined by DG Alma too..

End Trachoma - Thanks to the power of Zoom, our speaker this week gave a very eye-opening presentation while sitting in her home in Darwin. This was also the chance to try a hybrid meeting, with several Club members joining by zoom as well.Trachoma is due to repeated bacterial infections which causes scarring, eye lashes turning in and a painful pathway to complete, irreversible loss of vision..

We were joined by the members of the Wantirna Lions Club, who
shared with us some of their projects, both local and overseas.
These included:
• Supporting needy school students in Sri Lanka
by providing wheel-chairs and used laptops. This is in conjunction
with a local Lions Club in the area.
• Providing scholarships for
12 years of schooling for children who be-came orphans after the
tsunami. It was heartwarming that many of these students kept in
touch even when they got to University
• Refurbishing the
playground at Dominion House, which is a safe house for women and
children who are escaping abusive relation-ships
• Taking part in
the ‘1,2,3 read to me’ program by sorting 60,000 books that were
donated by a publisher to go into underprivileged schools.
•
Participating in the ‘Share the Joy’ project by providing hampers
for the needy
• Donating hams to the Salvation Army for their
Christmas hampers.
We are a vibrant community based volunteer service club and welcome visitors at our weekly club meetings. If you'd like to come and join us for dinner one evening please feel most welcome!
