25.01.2022 Many thanks to the wonderful people at the Glenorchy City Lions Club and Lions Club of Kingborough for their amazing donation of blankets which will go to Vinni...es Tasmania to support the vulnerable and homeless. Lions do some amazing things for many worthwhile causes in the community and I thank them very much for their support. Pictured from L-R from Lions is David Pearce, Jenny Pritchett, Hester Van Niekerk and John Tesoriero. #shgetsthingsdone

24.01.2022 A big thank you to Elise Archer for the donation of a SKATEBOARD for our Chocolate Wheel at the Royal Hobart Regatta. The support you have given to our Club is so very much appreciated as funds raised help so many people

24.01.2022 The Lions Club of Glenorchy City have been working with the wonderful staff at WOOLWORTHS MOONAH to provide donations to the various charities around Glenorchy. Without their kind donations the charities would be struggling in these unusual times to help those in need. They are working tirelessly to support the homeless and needy in the Glenorchy Community. Each month Woolworths organize the donations to the charity and we provide the transportation and delivery. Woolworths M...oonah have donated to City Mission and this month we were able to give a donation to the Salvation Army The goods provided range from essential food items such as pasta, long life milk, personal hygiene items, spa-ghetti, baked beans and they also give special items such as biscuits and chewing gums. Members of the Glenorchy Club have also been busy making bags, knitting beanies and scarves. Members have also been buying and collecting items such as deodorant, toothbrushes and other personal items for donation. Twiddle-muffs are sensory comforts for people with restless hands. They are essentially woolllen hand warmers with lots of bits and pieces attached for people to fiddle with. They are made in bright colours and decorated inside and out with lots of different shaped, sized and textured objects. The muffs a re good for fidgeting with and calming people in distress.

22.01.2022 Our organisation's motto is "We Serve" - in serving we sometimes conduct events to raise money for community causes. This year the profits from our efforts on the Chocolate Wheel at the Hobart Regatta are being donated to the Australian Lions Foundation National Appeal - Bushfires. The Lions Club of Glenorchy City is proud to announce we raised (with the help of all our generous fellow citizens) over the past 3 day weekend, the grand total of $5000 which will all be going to this National Appeal. Well done to the wider community of Hobart. You are making a difference in people's lives in supporting the Lions.

10.01.2022 Making a heap of tote bags. Hoping to use them this winter for members of our community who are doing it tough. I have a fellow Lion member making beanies and hoping to fill with toiletries and biscuits etc As a Lion there isn’t much I can do but this is my way of helping out

10.01.2022 Lions club members around Tasmania are encouraging community members to attach a Remembrance Poppy to their letter box this ANZAC Day. Based on an idea put forw...ard by Riverside Lions Club member, Mr Robert Mantach, this can be extended to include a dedication to any veteran from your family or others who have served. Due to the RSL having to reluctantly cancel all official cenotaph services and parades, In family remembrances at home can be a way to keep the remembrance flame burning. Lions Clubs International, like all other service organisations (including the RSL), are quietly working in the background to provide whatever help is needed or requested and already preparing for when social restrictions are lifted and life gets back to normal. Sample template and flower - you can laminate and write a commemorative message. Mr Byron Dilworth First Vice District Governor / District Governor Elect - Lions District MD201T1 (Tasmania)
