24.01.2022 Today we were able to visit the amazing Nadia from Kennett Home to deliver Fathers Day gives for the residents.

TA big thank you to the children at Kids Korner for the wonderful cards

20.01.2022 Cake Stall this Saturday 29th Feb We are partnering up with the wonderful ladies of Stanwell Park CWA to offer delicious cakes and raise funds for our Bush Fire Appeal. If you need some morning or afternoon tea, you can have this all organised for you outside of Coles from 10am til 2pm.... Between us both, we serve, we bake and we are there for our community

20.01.2022 This is how our donated storage shed (thanks Helensburgh Business Park) looks after our trip down the South Coast on Sunday, cleared out and with a few items for our 2508 crews on hand. With the pending conditions this Fri-Sun it is a strong reminder to get your Fire Plans sorted and also you will continue to see the Lions Club members in town so please every dollar counts. We are back at the pub on Fridays for our meat raffles and this Thursday at Bunnings Bellambi for a ta...sty sausage sizzle. If you are wanting to help and not sure how, please PM our page and we will be happy to chat with you

20.01.2022 Are you ready? How quick does the time come around for the fire season, and if last year has taught us anything it is that we need to be prepared. Our local stations are opening up their doors and offering their expertise to help protect you, you family and friends and your homes. ... We can all use a refresher even if you have a plan from last year. Our members will be getting our plans up to date again, what are you doing next weekend? HLC

19.01.2022 Fridays well spent!

19.01.2022 An amazing achieve to by a young Helensburgh woman with a big heart. Maeve is travelling back to Arusha at the end of this month to spend six months as a volunteer making a difference. We will be supporting her. Will you?

18.01.2022 Who would have thought we would be pulling out the umbrellas, gumboots and raincoats in early Feb! As great as it is for our lawns and tank waters, the fire season is still alive and well for another 3+ months so you will not see us slowing down on the support of our crews just yet. At Coles you will now find two black tubs at in replacement of the one previously arranged.... As of tomorrow there will be signs up on them (see picture) with donations requested to collect and arrange distribution to the crews. We appreciate the amazing support from our community

17.01.2022 It looks sweet, but these are the items (potato chips, lollies, soft drink, Powerade/Gatorade) our RFS crews have requested. Our supplies are almost exhausted so if you are able to support them, please put your donation in the big tub in Coles, Helensburgh - and thank you.

14.01.2022 Our newest member, Mel, handing over sunscreen supplied to the Moruya brigades.

13.01.2022 Helensburgh Lions Club proudly supports Cheti Schools and sayari nyuki, and were loving this idea of a gift-giving Mothers day Breakfast in Bed for those in the Engadine to Bulli NSW postcode area!

13.01.2022 Congratulations go out to our very own Bede Parkes!! What a wonderful recognition for a selfless lady who volunteers helping others time and time again. She is a credit to our town and from all of us, Bede we are very happy to see your name up in lights

13.01.2022 Everything we are able to do through our volunteers and with the support of our community is amazing! With the recent fires, Drew and Emily at Exeter Primary School were able to start the school year with bags packed with everything they need and a special thanks to Dymocks Childrens Charities for their generous donation of books. We received this wonderful email from Andrew the principal and a few pictures.... "Our whole school community was touched by the wonderful gestures organised by the Lions Club. I have attached some photos of Drew and Emily as they received their backpacks and books. Please pass on these photos and our thanks to the staff at your organisation and also Dymocks books" Thank you to everyone that helped in every way and we will continue to be a part of sharing love and support where ever we can.

12.01.2022 Unfortunately, due to a poor weather forecast, our Lions Awareness Day has been postponed. You can still find out about the Lions at Holy Cross Fete where we will have an information table, or come along to the Easter Scramble. There are lots of ways to be involved with Lions in our community!

11.01.2022 Theres great coverage this morning on Radio National of the south coast fires and relief efforts. Please dont forget that we are at the start of the fire season. Make sure you have your fire plan in place and your family knows what to do! The Lions are still collecting donations for our RFS crews. We are in urgent need of spray sunscreen (not lotion) - preferably Nivea or Le Tan, eye drops and lip balm. ... If you work for a company or organisation that could help us source these in bulk or is prepared to donate funds so we can purchase in bulk, please contact us via our Facebook page. The 130+ units we delivered to Moruya on Sunday have already been used Thank you for your continued support

11.01.2022 Become a lion... Many changes have happened this year and for many of us it has been a year of being forced to slow down, to revaluate where we give our energy and our time. It has been a challenging year for our Club who thoroughly enjoy being out in the community and we are learning how we can support our town, local families as well as charities in a different way. ... New members to our Club are welcomed openly, this year we have been fortunate to add three new members. This brings along with new ideas and invigorates our spirits. I mean the old saying goes "many hands make light work" If you are curious about who we are, or what we do and would like to come along to a meeting (once a month) then message us on our page or email us [email protected]. We would love to here from you!

11.01.2022 In the October edition of our 2508 magazine, we shared the news of the beloved Dennis Weatherall. Dennis lived the Lion's Club motto "we serve" to the full, with his family, this community and his country. He believed that no Lions project was too big or too small, and if there was a will it could be done. Dennis was not afraid to put the community plans in front of the right people, if it needed to be discussed with the decision maker - no matter their position, from the Pr...emier to the local man at the pub. His efforts live on within the Club, the Stanwell Tops Memorial Park and in Charles Harper Park with the roof over the bandstand and the miner skips. Dennis was a devoted family man to his wife Di, sons Darryn and Jarrod, their partners and adorable grandchildren. RIP our fellow Lion, we will miss you and your fellowship

10.01.2022 Did you know? https://www.facebook.com/173349336032985/posts/3687389224628961/

10.01.2022 If you are wondering how you can support your RFS brigades and the south coast fire-affected communities throughout the fire season, keep an eye out for our donation buckets You can find them at the Sri Venkateswara Temple, Symbio, Sunrise Nursery, Stanwell Park Cafe, Flying High Cafe at Bald Hill, Helensburgh Premium Liquor and Christians Meats. Your spare coins and notes will be spent on items requested by the RFS crews working in our Lions District - water, spray sunscreen, snacks, eye drops, hand sanitiser, poppers and wipes. You can also donate these items directly by putting them in the large bin in Coles. Thank you to these businesses for their support and cooperation, and to you for continually showing us what a generous and thoughtful community we live in

09.01.2022 Once again, the Lions Club's Wishing Tree is being hosted by Helensburgh Tradies in their foyer. It's been a dreadful year for many, and your thoughtfulness at this time will help make Christmas bearable - hopefully wonderful! - for many who do not have the comfort and security of a home and loving family. Please leave your unwrapped gift or non-perishable food under the Wishing Tree and bring joy to others this festive season. Thank you - your Lions Club

09.01.2022 2020 Helensburgh Lions Club County Fair *** UPDATE*** We have been taking the time to understand the new changes as required by the NSW Government Health Authority, we as a Lions Club would have many health regulation requirements at this years Country Fair to comply with the COVID Safe Plan.... Sadly, based on these compliances we have regrettably made the difficult decision not to go ahead with this years Fair. All of the wonderful stall holders that have shown interest so far have been contacted. It is in the forefront of our minds to be planning for next years Fair with a date yet to be decided. We look forward to being able to enjoy our much loved event with the wonderful 2508 locals, so we will keep you posted. Stay safe and we will continue to plan how we can best serve the community.
