On Saturday 12th. December local Goulburn Charities received hampers to the val-
ue of $25,000. Each food Hamper valued at $360 included 2 freezer bags and a Li-

hampers, President Wendy Wise thanked the Lions Club and told me that because
of extra money handed out by the Government this year demand for their services
had diminished somewhat.

Major Phillip McCall from the Salvation Army and helpers received 20 hampers as did Tracey Wong and
her crew from Anglicare.

Paying a surprise visit to Bunnings BBQ last year District Governor
District Governor Maxine Helmling Maxine Helmling and Hubby PDG Paul dropped in for
a sausage sandwich. They stayed and chatted for a while
before heading off.
The day proved quite profitable adding $400 to our

8am. starting with Capt. and Covid Monitor Ron Furniss.
Ron was helped during the day by Lions Maureen
Strong, Peter and Glennis Bacon, Bill Starr. Murray Rob-
inson, Phill Clark, Prue Rickard, and Alex Harmer.
According to “Covid rules” only five people serving at a
time so we effectively had 2 crews.
Rosemary Chapman called in to see if we needed help.
The BBQ finished at 4.30pm.
I wish to thank all the members who gave their time for
the day. “Jolly good Job”
