25.01.2022 201Q2 Zone 10 meeting - socially distanced Lions at work with Zone Chair Josephine Barfield. Mackay Host, Mirani Sugar Valley, Blue River clubs in attendance.

25.01.2022 A HELP UP FOR A BABINDA SENIOR Finding a genuine local need and solving it is very satisfying in community service work. Annie Wonga, aboriginal elder of Babin...da, is one who steps up time and time again to recount the traditional stories and make everybody feel welcome at public events and occasions in the area. Rarely does the community get a chance to do something personal for her as age catches up with her physical capabilities. Last December the Babinda Lions Club members got down and dirty and constructed a concrete walk up ramp giving Annie direct access to her carport. It was highly successful and a welcome addition. Getting the team back together for a little dedication ceremony at the site has been almost impossible during the pandemic this year. It happened just last week making it a highlight in what is a very difficult year for genuine community service activities. Pictures: 1 The small project plaque. 2 The team on the site. Glen O’Malley, Ted Griffin, Frank Gatti, Annie Wonga, Stephen Gatti. Missing was Tony Lanzi. 3 Other pictures include construction on the ramp.

We had to drag some structural timb...ers for our Mothers Waiting House in our little red THOR dingy, and then it was all hands on deck once we got to land. Sr Kila is always showing our helpers in the village how it’s done!!! #thor #flyingdoctor #maternalhealth See more
