Club members have worked tirelessly and are always delighted at the opportunity to give back to the local community.
Donations were given for a range of different reasons will all recipients grateful for the generosity of the club.
Recipients included:
* Lauren Core, whose son Paxton was diagnosed with MPS II at the beginning of 2014.
Paxton travels constantly to undergo treatment for this rare and progressive genetic disease.
* Alice Kingston plays representative goal ball and will be attending elite events throughout 2015, including an event in China in July.
Goalball is a sport exclusively for athletes who have a visual impairment, and Alice was part of the NSW runners up team at the Goalball Australia National Championships 2014.
* Noel Yeo is the recipient of a mobility scooter purchased from Lithgow Mobility Aids by the Lithgow Lions Club.
* The Lions Club will also be donating a wheelchair to Elly Morris, which has been organised with help from the Australian Mobility Centre.
Fresh from all their fantastic fundraising work, the Lions were also privileged to welcome Ian Warren, the Lions Club District Governor as well as John (Roley) McAtee to help open a new Lions club for Wallerawang and Portland.
For those interested in helping the Lion’s continue their great work out at Wallerawang and Portland, call Lithgow president Alex Roberts on 0409 423 173 or 6351 4586.
