PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2017/18
WOW! what a wonderful year it has turned out to be for me personally, right from the start we hit the ground running in so
many ways. It has been an absolute honour to have served my time as President of this wonderful club and most of all served
along side all of you as a fellow Lion.
Report Card - Self Assessment…
From the outset of the pre-board meeting held in June last year I asked the board for support on changing a few things but
nothing too major… with focus to be on:
• Discounting Membership fees, with couples saving even more - by raising funds for our Club Admin (Successfully Completed)
• NOT to call our “Club Meetings” (meetings are boring), but to say “Club Dinners”! (Successfully Completed)
• Job/Duties delegation every 3 months - Anyone can get a role/project, even new induced members without having to wait
for next Lions year to start, plus the roles are only for a short period of time. Members delegated to roles can then takes
ownership of that role/project, and/if required form a committee of helpers. (Successfully Completed)
• Increase Fellowship & Fun with more socials. (Just a Pass - was unable to delegate this duty during the year, it was
very disappointing - BUT we all still had lots of fellowship, massive
room for improvement)
• Increase Public Awareness about projects. (Successfully Completed - I like to think there were some great
Newspaper articles - plus with Kaylene’s help on Facebook we did AOK)
• Increase membership - including inviting partners. (Successfully Completed, but was very disappointing to lose a few,
but we are still in good shape)
• Changing Divvy up - disburse funds as we go… By having members nominate local charities for the Community Raffle fund
to be dedicated towards. (Just a Pass - this didn’t really workout, we only had two nominations, [Diabites
Awareness & Be an Elf] I see this being something we could still improve on)
• Dinner Agendas - with a Members Brag or Spruik (FAIL! I recall Len was the only one to spruce, so we soon put a stopped
this) - Mix up the way the order and the way we would do the Invocation, Welcome Song, Farewell Song / Advance Australia
Fair, and yet still retain our traditions for mixed or formal dinners. (Successfully Completed, some people may have
liked but I didn’t have any feedback if they didn’t!)
• Hold more Social nights away from the our regular dinner venue, with chill out nights that we would cater for ourselves
(Due to Wet/Cold weather and wrong time of the year – but the nights we had were wonderful!
Room for improvement but Successfully Completed all the same for the 2 nights we had)
• Change the day & times of Board meetings (FAILED, for a number of different reasons - was worth a try just the same)
• Create a past members / care officer (Successfully Completed in part but yet a FAIL, still room for improvement)
Only the members will be the judge in the end, somethings may stay and others will go but it is always worth trying new ideas.
These goals were just the items to focused on at that first pre-board meeting, let alone the things I had going on in my head
for the so called first offical Board meeting to take place in July…
Things don’t always turn out to plan! In the end and as stated in the Handover
Ceremony of the Board & President, it states
“Your record of achievement will then be history” and history it now is…
The theme for the year was “Service through fellowship” - While LCI was “We
Serve” with 5 key service areas: Diabetes, Environment, Hunger Relief, Pediatric
Cancer & Vision. Our club continued to cover these areas with flying colours, from
our successful donation of $1000 to Diabetes awareness from our community raffle,
to the completion of the Avenue of trees for the environmental project, our
continued work with Meals on Wheel and providing food for the op-shop, raising and
donating funds to cancer & medical research programs and collection of used
reading glasses throughout the district for recycling - we covered all 5 areas for
Lions International.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2017/18 CONT.
The main goal for the theme, Service through fellowship, was that when people
have fun together, it forms better working relationships, it inspires new ideas and
thoughts, then before you know it - you are happy just to do things because they
become fun to do because of the fellowship shared.
Thursday night fellowship has continued during the year at the RSL thanks to
Ron, Merryl, Graeme, Anna, Pat & Judy - the stable crew... with as many as
20 people attending on occasions, remember everyone is welcome, 6pm Thursdays,
It’s a great night out!
NOW Double WOW! where could one start to thank members - well no further then Kaylene -
that’s for sure, without her I wouldn’t be here today, now at the end of a memorable & great year…
Kaylene always wished to join Lions just didn’t want to join so soon, but I’m so grateful she did and
not just for the amount of work she has done for the club, but because of what she has done for me
personally… what she does allows me the time to dedicate to Lions, not only on a Club level but that
of District level as well. I promise I’ll get those jobs done around the house now!
I’d also like to acknowledge my dear and
wonderful parents, Kerry & Graham Perrett who
instilled into me the importance of hard work and
community and I am forever grateful that they
encouraged me to join Rotaract at the tender age of 16, (34 years ago) in
which I held pretty much every club position possible plus those on District
including District Representative which I know enabled me to handle all
situations that were presented this year. Thanks Mum & Dad, love you dearly.
FINALLY Each and every member of the club, past and present, old & new, should be extremely proud of the achievements
of this club over the past 57 years of service to the community, and this year is no exception… We have a dedicated group of
members who do what they can, when they can, and you just can’t ask of anymore then that. A massive THANK YOU!
A special thanks to all those members who stepped up when asked to do so, either by volunteering your time or having
your arm twisted to perform at a Rotary debate. I won’t go in to naming individual members for each and every project or
roles, otherwise it will be a list of the each and every member, and then some! Please be assured that your efforts have not
gone un-noticed and is much appreciated. As president you get to see a little more of what really goes on within a club then
sometimes you would like, but I would not change a thing during the whole year, well maybe one thing - I’d set wine limits on
a Thursday night at the RSL, lol.
I sincerely wish Lion David & Lions Lady Sarah and the new board all the very best for the coming year, the club and
members will support you all the way, I know that for a fact - sit back and enjoy the ride, it’ll be a great moment in your life!

TREASURER’S REPORT
Firstly, what an effort! The Club should be proud of what it’s achieved throughout the year, and the difference we have
been able to make our community.
It was privilege to play a small roll in the clubs contributions to the community this past year. I would like to thank Lion
Dina Tait for her wonderful support with the implementation of the EFT payment system, and to Lion Kurt for his guidance
when I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. The EFT payment system has helped reduced the workload on the Treasurer
position, and more importantly it allows prompt payment of invoices & community raffle reimbursements to local businesses.
Putting the treasurer hat on for a moment, it’s worth a small reminder that if you RSVP for a dinner meeting, we still get
charged if you are unable to make it, with funds coming out of our Admin Account. $20 here and there isn’t much I know, but
it does add up.
Now the fun bit………although there are still some funds to be disbursed from Divvy Up night, just waiting for details
from recipients, we were able to distribute the following funds:

FIRST VICE PRESIDENT’S REPORT
I'd firstly like to take this opportunity to thank the Lions Club members of
Stanthorpe for helping to make the move from 2nd VP to 1st VP a smooth and
seamless transition.
While I still enjoyed my involvement in the Community Raffle, the shift in focus
towards Meals on Wheels gave me an opportunity to connect with a different
demographic within the Stanthorpe community.
Thanks must go to all members who lent their valuable time to deliver and
help keep this essential service going. Special thanks also to Liz Duell, who as the
Meals on Wheels co-ordinator, helps everything to run
smoothly and efficiently. All the best to Wayne Tait who
will relinquish his role as Catering Chairman to take on
the responsibilities of M.O.W.
And lastly to both Stuart and Kaylene Perrett who have implemented a wealth of positive
changes within the club whilst strengthening its fellowship and spirit. I look forward to continuing
with new projects and a host of regular club projects that the Lions Club of Stanthorpe continue to
patronise in order to serve our community.
Lion David Hume, First Vice President 2017/18
SECOND VICE PRESIDENT’S REPORT
The community raffle has continued to be an important
avenue of raising funds, we generally had very good support
throughout the year with people volunteering their time
each fortnight. This year we introduced a new method on
announcing the winners, firstly we stamped each and every
ticket with the web address and also promoting that in the
monthly presidents news paper article along with post them
on Facebook. Plus we had the previous winners shown on
the IGA table & Barrow at the following raffle. This along
saved us well over a $1000 during the year.
We also introduced selling tickets in the industrial area

Lions Mints
Sales of mints increased this year due to some new drop-off points, which have proved to be very
profitable for the club.
There has been an increase in costs for these products, therefore there was a need to increase the sale
price to 60c per roll, to improve our profit margin.
The Lions Club of Stanthorpe wishes to thank all the outlets for their support.
Lion Ron Sonego
Lions Recycle for Sight Australia Inc
The Lions Recycle for Sight Program in Stanthorpe has collected approximately 1800 pairs of used
glasses and 8 sets of hearing aids from the following collection centres, Villa Carramar, Granite Belt
Medical Services, Soul Pattinson Chemist, St Vincent de Paul, Salvation Army Family Store, Blue Care, The
Physiotherapy Centre, The Courtyard Mathew St.
These form part of the 10,000 pairs collected per week and sent to either Clontarf or Caboolture depots.
The two centres operate 3 full days or 5 mornings a week. The workforce includes 30 persons on the
Commonwealth Work for the Dole program, 4-10 persons on community correction orders and many
volunteers. They expect to achieve a throughput of close to one million pair of refurbished spectacles by 2021.
450,000 adults or children in the third world unable to see receive this gift free every year.

Santa Sack
I consider it a privilege to organise the Santa Sack
on behalf of our members. It would not have been
possible without the great help of my mate Lion Pat,
together with President Stuart and Kaylene and Lion
Mark McCosker, in particular.
For our Club the Santa Sack is possibly the biggest
fund-raiser in non Apple & Grape Festival years.
This year it produced great results, with all tickets
being sold. The final tickets being sold only minutes
before the draw.
For the period of the Santa Sack we banked over $8,000 and sold almost $1,400 of Lions Christmas
Cakes and Puddings.
I think the location of the Sack outside, and stored overnight at Rob Catterin's Barber shop is excellent
and the co-operation from Rob & Gabriel is much appreciated - and we presented them with a Certificate
of thanks.
Next time we must make an effort to negotiate with Council to obtain a permit for the period of 6
weeks, instead of actually only receiving permits for 2 weeks at a time.
Something else to consider for next year is to encourage members to take, sell and return raffle books
to the table. If you can’t sell them - treat it as a donation to the cause, as a lot of us do. When rostered-
on it is not appropriate to sell your own books.
Thanks to all Lion members for your help and assistance, as this has been a great result for the Club.
All the winners were locals and very excited to pick up their prizes on the day.
The draw was a little different this year - thanks to President Stuart and his ping-pong balls! It really
worked extremely well, and got the crowd involved picking the numbers.
We have also written a document this year - giving a set of guidelines, of how the Santa sack has
been run over the many years it has been in operation.
So if anyone else feels like having a go it will help you - but may we suggest 2 people, as it takes a
lot of the pressure off by having a partner.

Be an Elf
When I suggested to the Board that I felt the "Be an Elf' program would be a good fit for our Club, I
had no idea what we were in for.
I was aware the program was run in South Eastern suburbs in Brisbane following my daughter
volunteering in the past, and believed it would work well with our Community Service Lions Club.
We are the first to run the "Be an Elf' outside the Brisbane area and
joined forces with Deb de Hamer from the Stanthorpe Community Op
Shop, as I believed they had expertise that we didn't have - and we had
expertise in areas they didn't.
We formed a small working Sub-Committee with Pat, Wayne, Deb
and myself to get the project started.
Initially we anticipated approximately 40 - 50 recipients, but we
finished up with 120 which presented funding and distribution
nightmares - all of which have been met.
The program plan was to provide Christmas presents to
underprivileged children in the area to the value of approx $25.00. We
raised almost $3000. It came from 2 Raffles in October, funding from
Bendigo Bank, Stanthorpe RSL and $650.00 from some of our most
generous members.
The request letters were distributed to Primary Schools in the area
and also collected by Deb from the Op Shop - that's when the work
started.
Compiling shopping lists for all of the 120 recipients, and making
sure the correct gift went into the correct bag. This was done
magnificently by Anna. It was a real labour of love.
Judy, Pat, Dina, Wayne, Anna & I spent some time shopping in
Toowoomba after exhausting local Retail Supplies.
It was an interesting day, but we enjoyed ourselves on completion.
Monday December 18th was 'Wrapping Day' at the Op Shop, and
special thanks goes to the volunteers who assisted. Distribution was
split into Southern, Central and Northern areas and was completed by
Friday December 22nd
A very special thanks to Mark Mccosker who donated and printed up
“
100 special drink bottles branded 'Be an Elf' and 'Lions of
Stanthorpe' which were put into the bags.

involved and we can see the 'Be an Elf' program expanded in the area Anonymous
to both Tenterfield as well as Warwick.

Catering
Catering this year was a challenge, starting with Snowflakes. Positioning of the stall plus the number
of food stalls decreased our opportunity for a successful event. • Light the Night went very well – all
enjoyed the night. • Carols in the Park ended very good after a slow start – sold out. • That Dam Ride
was a good day out, thanks to Dan. • We suggest supporting Youth Week sausage sizzle again. There
was some great young talent on show. • Apple & Grape again showed how our club comes together
when needed with 45 members and Lions Ladies working over the 2 days, again it was a difficult catering
job owing to the number of food stalls. • Charity Ball breakfast went well.
Many thanks to my committee over the past 4 years for all of their support.
Donations of excess food this last year went to: International Club value $50.00, Salvation Army value
$80.00, CDS value $60.00 & Op Shop value $500.00

Outback Tour – 2017
As Lions members & tag alongs set off last August on the Captain Thunderbolt Tour were they have
raised over $6000 for charities such as the Royal Flighting Doctor and LifeFlight.
While visiting many towns they have also injected funds directly in to those communities – these
include, Ashford (Pindari Dam), Uralla, Wollomombi Falls, Dorrigo, Nymboida, Mininie Water, Bonalbo,
Queen Mary Falls & Killarney.
On the final night the Lions Club of Killarney put on a dinner fest and the group held an fun Auction
with items gathered along their journey, adding to the total funds.
The committee is now in planning mode to travel to Far North Queensland (Tablelands) later this year,
so if you are interested in tagging along, please contact Wayne Tait.

Wallangarra Park BBQ removal & Tractor Repaint
Early in the year I spent some time going around to our parks to see what things could be easly done
to create little projects for members to be a part of. Two of these project just happen to be at the one
park, the first was the removal of old brick BBQ’s, well as soon as it was mentioned like magic they were
gone, thanks to a few members, I know they had trouble trying to dump the rubbish out at the tip, but
they got the job done. Thanks to all who were involved.

We welcomed some new members including Kaylene Perrett, Katy McKenzie, Cynan Lewis, Kym Dachs

Thanks to the tamers & the twisters who prepared our meetings for us, and entertained us while
skilfully extracting money from us at the same time. President Stuart’s idea to share the workload in
turns throughout the year was a good one and allowed members to help out for a limited period,
not for a whole year.
