SUCCESSFUL GOLF DAY AT KINGSTON HEATH

Pictured above: The large morning field of golfers prior to 'hit off ' onMoorabbin Lions first 'Charity Golf Day' held on the Kingston Heath course.

Gary McInnes (Chair of Moorabbin Lions Golf Committee) says currentindications are that the Lions Club of Moorabbin will benefit greatly in financialterms from the day enabling us to support local charities, local hospitals andother Lions projects.

“The Lions Club of Moorabbin would like to thank all of the players whosupported our golf day and their contribution to the raffle, hole in one andauctions on the day – thanks again for your support and we look forward toseeing you again next year.”

In a break with tradition, and recognizing the changing nature of sportingevents, Moorabbin Lions were assisted in the management of this year’s eventby GOLFSelect. Key aspects of GOLFSelect’s involvement was the setting upof a specific website to handle player registrations and payments, and theprovision of a mobile scoring system on the day showing a live leaderboard aftereach player completed each hole.

“Funds raised at this year’s charity golf day will go toward specific Lion’sProject throughout 2018. Lions Moorabbin is proud to say that every single centraised from our charity golf day goes back to the community. We would like toadd that this is a very special event for our Club, as it occurs in the CentenaryYear of Lions International serving the community in Australia” Cont.. Page 2

Parkrun - Karkarook

Parkrun Karkarook had its 1st birthday on 18th of November, and theend of the Lions sponsorship, but not the end of the friendship! We stillhave an interest in common - Karkarook Park, and there will be plenty ofworking bees in the future!

For those unfamiliar with the area, Karkarook Park is a recreational andenvironmental oasis, revegetated with indigenous plants. The 15 hectarelake is a good spot for canoeing, kayaking or sailing. You can explorethe park on foot or bike on 6km of trails. Take the dog for a walk. Or tryyour luck fishing for Rainbow Trout or Red Fin.

Here's What 586,860 Aluminium

Ring-Pulls Looks Like! 132Kg of ring-pulls have been collectedby Lions and friends of recent years -now it's time to recycle them. at $1 kgthat's $132 going to the Lions CordBlood Foundation. The project worksby multitudes of people saving their ringpulls (Aluminium only - and that'simportant!) and passing them on in thecourse of their normal social interaction -so that they eventually accumulate at theLions Club with nil cost of transport.

The Lions Cord Blood Foundation Inc. was initiated in 1996 by LionLaurie Denton (deceased) a former member of the Lions Club ofWaverley Inc. Managed by the Lions Club of Waverley Inc.V5. ADistrict Project of 201V5 and since the Multiple District Convention inQueensland in 2006 the Foundation continues as a Category B Projectuntil June 2020.
