Papamoa Lions has an ongoing fundraising project – The Lions Sunday Market on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. The market is held at Gordon Spratt domain and Lions support the stall holders who come with their products to sell. Papamoa Lions, supported by the Papamoa College Leo Club have a food caravan at each market and their speciality is sausages on a stick and bacon and egg sandwiches. These funds will be used to help and support others in the Papamoa Community and at times Lions International Global Causes through the Lions Clubs International Foundation.
Our other big project at the moment is Raising $60,000 for the Papamoa Fire Brigade to get a new ATV. Take part in The Flying Mullet Papamoa Hill Climb Challenge to help support this worthwhile clause
Heads Up for Kids is a unique collection which asks New Zealanders to dig out and donate old decimal and pre-decimal New Zealand currency, and all foreign money. The obsolete cash is then redeemed for New Zealand dollars and used to fund education programmes for young New Zealanders who would otherwise not get the opportunity. You can donate any coins at your local Resene's and Lions will collect it to send off to Heads for Kids. Can't get to Resene's contact us to arrange collection.
And of course, we sell the Lions Christmas Cakes every year!
Back in 1971, New Zealand Lions Christmas Cake was born. Now, more than half a century later, our Cake has become an annual nation-wide favourite. Moist, fruity, delicious. Enjoy it now, at Christmas, next year or the next. Our cake has a shelf life of no less than two years. Did we say it tastes delicious? Of course!
We will let you know when these are on sale, or email us to pre-order
We also support the Lions International Eye Health programme - Sight First. LCIF's SightFirst program has given the gift of sight to millions. SightFirst has prevented blindness and restored vision for people worldwide through cataract surgeries, the building of eye hospitals, training of medical personnel, delivery of medication and raising awareness of eye health.
If you have any old glasses lying around, please let us know as these are restored and given to those in need.
We are always looking for new projects to help the Community, if you have anything you think we can get involved with please reach out: papamoa@lionsclubs.org.nz
