25.01.2022 Oatley Lions Club are here to serve the Community. Our events and activities have been curtailed but we will continue to do what we can under the circumstances. As an example, we recently loaned a Marquee to a local Doctors Surgery at short notice, so they can offer an Influenza Vaccination Clinic which is separated from the Surgery to better protect Patients and Staff. The Doctor has supported our Club over many years. Please contact our Club if you have ideas of how we can Serve Our Community (subject to Department of Health regulations on limiting personal contacts). Our contacts are here: https://www.oatleylions.org.au/about/contact-us

23.01.2022 Oatley Lions members are so appreciative of the support received by our local community including Oatley Oatley West Public Schools, Lugarno, Cronulla & Kogarah Lions clubs, Hurstville Rotarians, Sutherland Lionesses & individuals for their generous support for the families in western NSW. You need to know that your generosity has helped provide hope for so many farmers families who are struggling due the ongoing drought. Many were brought to tears because of your kindness.... As importantly they received a message that people in the city are thinking of them, understand their current plight and the importance of food production to the country. Oatley Lions members took the lead on a project to provide a Christmas BBQ for farmer families in western NSW to send a strong message of support & kindness on one of their Hay Days. 15 Oatley, Lugarno and Cronulla Lions drove to Gallon NSW to deliver the Christmas Bush Bash Event, held on Saturday 14th December. It was an amazingly successful and rewarding event with positive feedback, smiles and tears of appreciation for the efforts of our Lions Clubs, local schools and our local community Over 75 farmer families totalling more than 400 attended the BBQ They received over $30,000 of donations including: BBQ delights from Oatley Lions $11,000 of food & fuel vouchers $5,000 of water 100s of Christmas gifts that were donated by the children of Oatley West & Oatley Public Schools. These gifts were given to the children by Santa which brought squeals of delight, tears of joy and appreciation and helped take families minds off the severe drought that is challenging everyone. Clothing for families, books Food & toiletry hampers Congratulations to Lynda Robinson who took the lead on this rewarding, humbling and successful project.

22.01.2022 Media Release 2020/00103 15th July 2020 OATLEY LIONS VILLAGE FESTIVAL for 2020 IS CANCELLED The Oatley Lions Village Festival has been held annually over the last 40 years, helping to bring all the local communities together and raise valuable funds to assist people in need, locally, nationally & internationally.... It is with regret that we advise that this years Festival has been cancelled due to COVID 19 health risks. Our decision is based on keeping the community safe during these disruptive times. Many of the popular Festival activities are simply not feasible under current COVID-19 restrictions for mass gatherings. Risks assessed include: - Social distancing - Inability to obtain identification of all attendees - Planning complexities during ongoing COVID 19 changing regulations. Our thanks to our major sponsors, Georges River Council and Oatley Hotel. Our appreciation is also extended to Mark Coure MP MP Member for Oatley and David Coleman MP Federal Member for Banks, our local businesses, and our Community for your understanding and your continued support for this very important and recognized annual event. Our members are disappointed, however, the risks are simply too significant to proceed with the festival this year. Be assured however, the planning is well underway for next years Festival on Saturday 16th October 2021. Our next years festival will be bigger and better as we seek new attractions to bring our community together once again. We look forward to seeing you there and once again, thank you from all Oatley Lions members for your support and understanding, Richard Sheahan, Oatley Lions Village Festival Coordinator John Morgan, President, Oatley Lions Club www.oatleylions.org.au Please distribute this Media Release to others who may wish to know about it: Oatley Parents, Oatley Parents Work & Business.
