25.01.2022 Lions meeting tonight and Cecily mentioned gooday from past President Alison Jones

25.01.2022 RIP Jack Byron It is with much sadness and heavy heart that I have to report that our good mate and fellow volunteer Jack Byron passed away yesterday as a recen...t resident of Bindaree Lodge at the age of 95 years. I feel honored to have known Jack enjoyed his company whether it be volunteering at Friends of Bindaree Garage sales, attending the #BoyneTannumMensShed, sharing a drink and chat at the #BoyneTannumRSL or volunteering at Meals on Wheels. Jack continued to support our local organisations as a volunteer right up to his recent fall and hospitalisation despite his 95 years, he will be sadly missed by so many who's hearts he touched. On behalf of those organisations and myself personally, I would like to take this opportunity to offer our heart felt condolences to Jack's surviving family members and know that we are here if you need any assistance.

24.01.2022 Finally found a spare moment to join Lions for our monthly dinner meeting at the Mens Shed with special guests, Boyne Smelters GM Leigh Staines and 2nd VDG Tim Fraser and 28 Lions & Partners attending. As always the #boynetannumcwa treated us to a very tasty & healthy meal.

23.01.2022 A rather nostalgic moment for us tonight as we were welcomed back into the newly refurbishex QCWA hall for our monthly dinner meeting. Nice to be back in familiar friendly environment is what is our 40th anniversary year as a club. Thank you ladies for yet another lovely healthy home cooked meal

20.01.2022 Boyne Island Lions today hosted our Lions YOTY Regional final at the TSSHS with 3 very worthy contestants. They were Jaime Moretti from Biloela State High & sponsored by the Theodore Lions, Shakira Simpkins from Biloela State High School & sponsored by the Callide Valley Lions and Natania D'Sa from Tannum Sands State High School & sponsored by our very own Boyne Island Lions. All three contestants provided us with an excellent and enlightening public speaking display and once... again it was the unenviable task of our three judges to select a winner. The winner on the day was a very popular Natania D'Sa who will now proceed to the next round of Lions YOTY, which will be the District Final to be hosted by the Callide Valley Lions in Biloela on Sat 4th April and we wish Natania all the very best. Congratulations to all 3 contestants on their individual performances and I am sure we will here more of them in the future. See more

13.01.2022 A chance to get out in the community yesterday with a sausage sizzle with ice creams down at the Discovery Caravan Park for a residents happy hour.

13.01.2022 Today both myself and Ron Doherty had the pleasure of presenting cheques for a total of $8,000 to two very worthy Gladstone charities, $4,000 each to Peter Dougherty of St Vincent De Paul Society and Chris Ford of the Salvation Army. These donations are all part of our annual disbursements as a result of our fund raising efforts, 100% of which goes back into the community. Both Peter and Chris said that these funds would be used locally to support families in need due to hardships experienced during current Covid restrictions

10.01.2022 After my daughter made me aware of a gesture by Logan Village Lions, I decided what a great idea. In recognition of the essential community work staff of our two pharmacies are performing in such difficult times our Lions Club decided to donate a box of Lions Mini Cakes to each of them. Hope the staff of #discountdrugstores Boyne Island and #tannumsandsparmacy stay safe and enjoy our tasty Lions cakes.

07.01.2022 What aninspiration last night at our annual #lionsyouthoftheyear Club final public speaking. 7 contestants from our local region treated members and guests to a diverse range of passionate topics. Unfortunately there can only be one winner and this was the unenviable task of our three judges, Maxine, Russell and Toni. The public speaking award went to Charlie Cherie from TSSHS Overall winner went to Natania D'Sa also from TSSHS. Congratulations to you both and indeed to all the contestants. Natania will now proceed to the next round in our Lions YOTY next Saturday and and we wish all the very best

07.01.2022 After a night of awards to members for their respective contributions to Lions, two very special and prestigious awards were made. The first was by special invited guest Tim Fraser 1st District Governor Elect for District 201 Q4 presenting a Melvin Jones Fellow Award to Jim Smith. Jim was elected Charter President for the Boyne Island Lions Club way back on 7 October 1980 and has remained a loyal hard working member ever since despite him being the oldest and longest serving Lion member. Jim will clock up 50 years of service next year, 40 of those with Boyne Island. The second was a total surprise by Cecily Burkett who has a bit of a reputation for this type of behavior presenting it to another charter member and current President Rich Bichsel. A huge congratulations to both Jim and Rick

06.01.2022 The Discovery Caravan Park Tannum Sands have asked our Lions to provide a happy hour sausage sizzle for the residents of the caravan park to socialise and raise funds for our community.

The first of these events will take place Tue afternoon 22nd Dec 4pm and if successful will become a recurring event. We invite our members to participate and help promote our area and club.

06.01.2022 Fantastic outcome with Palmer a lions hearing dog being provided for Evelyn of Boyne Island with the help of our Lions Club.

Members will be in contact for several weeks as Palmer settles into a new home.
