PROJECTS

Our main ongoing projects, a number of which are directed towards fundraising, are outlined below.  As local, Australian and world scenes change from day to day, Lions keep abreast of emerging needs, and monies derived from these fundraisers are applied appropriately to meet them as able.

Lions Book Bargains

Our bookshed is on Byards Road, Reynella East, almost opposite the wetlands. Comprising two containers and a double garage structures, the boookshed  absolutely bristles with over 10 thousand of pre-loved books.  Metro Adelaide buses stop nearby. Novels, Sci-Fi, kids books, sports books, humour, biography, cookbooks and a host of others on almost every other topic may be found here.   Prices are only a fraction of those seen in many second-hand bookshops. Open every Saturday 8:30-am  'til 1-00pm.

All saleable book donations are welcomed.  Phone or email us if you need further information.

Christmas Cakes and Sleigh

During one of the major projects each year, our Christmas sleigh plies the streets of Aberfoyle and districts from mid November until almost Christmas.  Santa brings delight and a small gift to the many children along the route, with mums & dads able to purchase Lions cakes or puddings during the process.

Sausage Sizzles

We have an active and skilled team of club 'chefs' who venture out to shopping centres and various other public venues to BBQ quick snacks as a fundraiser for the club.  These members really enjoy the cooking scene and regularly crack a joke or two between themselves and have light hearted conversations with the many customers.Look out for us at the Happy Valley Reservoir the first Saturday of the month.

Road Clean-up

The club has adopted the stretch of Happy Valley Drive between Black Road and Chandlers Hill Road under the Road Watch programme.  The second Saturday of the month, a small group of members treks the length of the road to keep it an attractive and clean entrance to the area.  One more act by which we can 'put back' into the community. Look for our "WARNING: LIONS ON ROAD" sign.

Sandy Congdon Scholarship

This Scholarship commenced in 1991 in the memory of a former Lion who passed away in 1990.   It is for the sum of $2,250 per student  paid over a three year period.

Successful year 12/13 students resident in the Club's service area (see home page for locations) who have been accepted into tertiary education  are eligible to apply.    Contact should be made with the Club via phone or email promptly after a desire to apply has been formed.
