PRESIDENTS REPORT
Well this month has flown past and we are as busy as ever.
I would like to thank those who have put their names on
rosters, they are important to the continuing success of the
Club.
I only wish we could have found people to do the marshalling
for the Tri – the $1000 would have been very handy.
The Cooroy Car Show was a great earner and they begged us to come back next year.
The Australia Day event is gathering momentum and this time it looks bigger than ever.
With United Synergies on board to help with marketing, their local youth homeless and
head space programs have been nominated for funding from this project.
The PayPal reader is almost set up, just a few minor adjustments. This will make it so much
easier to take fees at parking etc.
I have been looking forward to the Convention at Gympie, and hope it will be a great event
as most Conventions are. We are still looking at holding one.
The new kitchen looks great, and thanks again to John and Ian. John is looking at the roof
now.
Remember if a roster comes your way PLEASE put your name on it.

NEWS FROM THE BOARD – Secretary Paul Beeston
Who’s Who in the Zoo
With a club our size, it is often difficult to know who is doing what. This is a bit more confused
because of our club motto’ this year:
“Sharing the Load”
The President (Lion Chris P), Secretary (Lion Paul B) and Treasurer (Lion Mike O’B) do all the
traditional things eg. Presidential things, Secretarial things and money things. The Immediate Past
President (David Watts) looks after new and current members.
David is also the District Q4 Cabinet Secretary.
Lola McDonald is our Zone Chair.
The real work is done by the Vice Presidents and they need all the help they can get. The list below is
not exhaustive. Ask a VP what else they do in their ‘spare’ time.
VP1 Trevor Luff (Luffy)
Brekky Club
COC Carols
ANZAC Day

Point of Sale terminal. Tewantin Noosa enters the world of commerce. We now have a ‘cash
register’ that will make it easier for Lions serving and taking money. This means you can all
forget the mental arithmetic that you have all forgotten anyway. Just press a button and the
price of a hamburger will pop up.
Lions Clubs International are asking clubs for ‘legacy’ projects to commemorate the
centenary of Lions. If you have any ideas please let a Board member or Mike Roach know.
Watch this space.
Rosters. With the busy time of the year starting please remember why you are a Lion. This
time of the year we earn the funds that enable us to help our community and the wider
community. See “Future Dates” below.
Car Parking. You may have seen some news about the Council increasing the cost of parking
in the local press. While the Council is taking the lion’s share (no pun intended) we will not
miss out. Our ‘cut’ per car is slightly higher that under the previous arrangement.

What a great convention that

tears, exciting new ideas, thought provoking
forum and club challenges.
I know I had a great time and that Janelle
McDonald did as well. Maybe next year we can
get more to come to Coolum.
BBQ in aid of Katie Rose Cottage at their Garage Sale – Report by
Jay Roach
A hardy group of Lions’ members swapped cap & apron for snorkel and flippers to assist Katie Rose
Garage sale on Saturday 21st October by supplying sumptuous sausages.
Although crowds of people didn’t fight their way through the puddles & rain, there were plenty of
smiles & chatter & great people to chat to under the Porta shade.
The new CEO of Katie Rose, John was most appreciative of our bbq with beautiful smells wafting
inside to tempt those browsing.
Thanks again to the Lions who rallied to the cause and willingly gave their time.
Lions Den Kitchen
Work on installing the new
kitchen is virtually completed.
But due to continuing problems
with the leaking roof, the kitchen
needs protection. Note the
carefully placed bucket. We still
wait to see if we are getting a
grant for our roof replacement.
In the meantime John Pritchard’s
‘patching’ skills are keeping us
(fairly) dry.
Christmas Cake – distribution to outlets
Thanks to Carmen Hackshaw, our supply of cakes has arrived and our volunteers have commenced
distributing them to commercial outlets for sale.
Hummingbird House BBQ at Coles Peregian Springs – Sun. 15th Oct
The Club conducted a BBQ as a fundraiser for the Children’s Hospice, Hummingbird House.
