Lions News Roundup - August 2009
- Members and partners enjoyed a special dinner at the Winchelsea Tearooms, in honour of Japanese youth exchange student Yuriko. Yuriko was staying with Gary and Debbie Drayton for three weeks. The dinner had an "Australian" theme with everyone asked to wear something Australian, and with an Australian trivia quiz. Yuriko was undertaking an intensive tour of southwest Victoria including visits to the zoo, Melbourne CBD, the Great Ocean Road, and many other of the sights and experiences on offer. Several Lions members assisted in this regard. Yuriko also paid a visit to Winchelsea Primary School and enjoyed a couple of footy games Winchelsea's Eastern Reserve grounds.
- About $1,200 and a further $1,100 have been raised from the sale of sheep manure and the Lions chuck wagon recently.
Paper recycling continues to produce excellent levels of income. Apparently, the sorting and bundling of the paper (mainly by Lion Hugh McCallum) is what has led to such excellent prices for the recycled paper.
Planning continues for this year's Walk To Wurdale fund-raiser.
