Sharon Blunt of the Soldiers Point Lions told News Of The Area, “Our club is always looking for more people who can join our friendly team.

Lions Club members are proud to be lions as every dollar of fundraising goes directly back in to our community.

The clubs major source of funds is through our barbeques held at the Legacy Markets at Fly Point.

This year one of our goals will be to fundraise for local schools in a range of projects that can assist students.

“Being a Lion is rewarding as we can see how our contribution can assist those in our community.

“A sausage sandwich provides more than just a tasty bite it helps us to provide assistance to so many.

“Where there is a NEED LIONS are there to help,” she said.
