24.01.2022 Creswick Lions Club Two Bob Auction is only 2 weeks away. To ensure your seat, tickets must be pre-booked because of catering requirements. Contact details below. If you are wondering how the night works; Participants buy sheets of tickets that bear the same unique number and come with a stub that is retained for the door prize. The participant ‘bids’ for desired items by placing as many tickets as they want in a box numbered to correspond with the prize. The more tickets ...entered, the higher the chance of winning. A ticket is drawn from the box like a raffle determining the winner. There are over 100 prizes, and all are new no 2nd hand items. The Two Bob auction is fun for all ages and the Creswick Lions Club have done a tremendous job in getting together over 100 prizes. Creswick Lions would like to thank the local businesses in Creswick and District and Ballarat for their generosity by way of donation of prizes, which will help to make this a wonderful event. There will be a variety of prizes to suit different tastes which include: Family pass to Sovereign Hill valued at $144 Chocolate, stationery and gourmet food gift hampers Gift vouchers to local cafes and pubs in Creswick Two junior golf club sets Framed artwork from local artists Green Cross Vets gift vouchers Hair straightener Lamley’s Nursery voucher valued at $100 Kids toys Meat vouchers from Ballarat Meat Co Engine oil Beer and wine hampers and glassware Assorted homewares The evening will start with a complimentary drink and nibbles on arrival and a two-course meal for $25 per head cooked by Creswick Roasts.

23.01.2022 Carolyn Gargiulo from the Creswick Lions Club presents George Davidson Snr with a cheque for $600 at Saturday's Creswick Markets. Creswick's Baby George Davidson is battling Neuroblasoma which is a childhood cancer found almost exclusively in children under five. He is currently in hospital. This donation was thanks to kind support, donations and sausages sold at last month's markets.

17.01.2022 CDN article Creswick Lions Club In November, we inducted a new member to our club, as well as celebrating two extra special milestone birthdays with members Max Ainley and Ken Fitzsimons. We have been busy helping to man the show gates at the Ballarat show and serving up sausages and egg and bacon sandwiches at the monthly Creswick market. Look out for Lions members undertaking front of house duties at the Creswick Theatre Company’s Christmas production Miracle on 34th S...treet, A live Musical Radio Play’. We have started to distribute our yummy Lions Christmas cakes to businesses around the district. Our Christmas Cakes are available at the following outlets around Creswick and District: Bendigo Bank, Australia Post, Greenvale meats, Flemo’s, John Curtin Aged Care, Smeaton Pub, Clunes Medical Centre and Clunes Newsagency. And of course, you can always pick one up from our stall at the market. Further ahead, we have been allocated two fundraising BBQs at Bunnings, Creswick Road, Ballarat on Monday 23rd December and Sunday 5th January. These are always busy days but a great fundraising opportunity, so if you need to grab something at Bunnings, tie it in on one of these two days and grab a snag (onions underneath) on your way out. If any of this sounds like something you’d like to be involved in, come up and say hi at the Creswick Market and come along to a meeting or two to see if Lions is something you’d really like to join.

Hurry as seats will fill fast.

15.01.2022 CDN article Creswick Lions Club January provided Lions members with a bit of down time, but a couple of activities still kept them busy.

13.01.2022 CDN article Creswick Lions Club It’s been a bit quiet on the Lions scene, with many of our members taking well deserved extended holidays over the colder months. We have still had the resources though to run our monthly BBQ at the Creswick market. Thanks to our members who braved the cold each month. I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of past and present members to extend a very big thank you to Lorraine Ainley who has been a member of the Creswick Lions Club... for over 36 years. Lorraine has recently resigned from Lions and her dedication to Lions will be genuinely missed. Lorraine was heavily involved over the years taking on several office bearer and leadership roles. She worked tremendously hard to help run the successful Monster Garage Sales each year. Well done Lorraine and all the very best for the future! We have recently had discussions with Hepburn Shire Council regarding improvements to Lions Park on Bridge Road. We received a grant from Leisure and Parks Victoria, and with an equal contribution from the Club, we hope to install some safety fencing, paint the toilet block and improve accessibility to and from Daylesford Road. If you think this project is something you’d like to be involved in, along with our numerous fundraising activities, please contact our President Peter Cowie on 0419 899 910 or Membership Chairperson Bernardette Tacey on 0419 326 052. Carolyn Gargiulo, Secretary Creswick Lions Club (0417 349 049).
