Fundraising

There will be opportunities for ‘hard work’ as we, hopefully, will secure more dates for Bunnings BBQs and, of course, the focus will be on the Club’s long term project, the construction and the completion of a Disabled toilet and baby change facility in the Beecroft Village Arcade.

There are other fundraising and service projects which will quietly continue such as Lions Mints, collecting used eye spectacles for sending to underdeveloped countries overseas, collecting used postage stamps for Parkinson’s NSW to raise much needed funds and also our regular visits to Chesalon Nursing Home for their monthly BBQs, trivia quizzes and maybe another Christmas Carols concert.
