Ngala
We were very pleased to be to help out Ngala Rockingham with their new patio shade area. Their old patio was very small, offered little shade & leaked. There used to be a large tree on the neighboring property which shaded the play area nicely. Unfortunately it had to be removed & with the loss of the shade it provided it was too hot to allow the children to go out to play. With the help of LCIF we were able to provide a new much larger patio, giving ample play areas protected from the elements.

Helping the Community by Involving the Community
Set up and run by one of our Lions members, Rockingham Lions Charity Crafters is a new group of community minded people who knit, crochet and sew. They donate their time and resources to make items that can be donated to various groups/organisations throughout the community.
Their first donation, drainage bottle bags for breast surgery patients who have drains in place, was handed over last night, with more coming at a later date.
The group has also been working on baby items for the Maternity Ward of the Rockingham Hospital. There are some busy hands finishing off items to be donated at the end of this month.
Keep an eye out to see who they will be donating to next.

At the end of the month we attended a Veterans Health Expo, where a broad range of organisations displayed their services and products. There were representatives from St Johns, Pharmacy 777, Emprise Mobility, DVA, Open Arms, just to name a few.
While it was a very quiet day, we got to chat and network with the other stall holders and I think Ashlee-Rose tried to recruit everyone in the building. Good work Ashlee-Rose! We'll have to make you our Official Recruitment Officer.
Thank you to the Rockingham RSL for putting on lunch, the home-made scones, jam and cream were divine! Also thank you for hosting the event.

Story Dogs
Jenny Davey is a passionate Story Dog volunteer and we are delighted to be able to sponsor one of her lovely Story Dogs, Gracie to help children at Settlers Hill Primary School.
Story Dogs provide a non-judgemental listening ear to young children as they read out loud.
“When children read to a dog, the outcomes are amazing!
It is a non-judgemental setting, the children’s focus improves, their literacy skills increase and their confidence soars.” www.storydogs.org.au
“Animals are ideal reading companions because they promote relaxation and lower blood pressure, do not judge, laugh or criticise and allow children to proceed at their own pace.” www.storydogs.org.au

Meet Clarrie, our latest recruit!
Clarrie the Lion is the latest addition to the resources available for clubs. He has already appeared at a few Lions events since arriving in WA recently, and is shared by W1 and W2 clubs.
Clarrie appeared at the Baldivis Bunnings community event on Saturday 28 July 2018 and was a great drawcard for young and old alike. His next outing will be at the Serpentine-Jarrahdale Fair on Saturday 11 August so if you are in the area, drop by and say hi to him. And all the other Lions who will be there.
If your club would like to borrow Clarrie (and/or the resource trailer that is now very well stocked), you can contact the District Marketing Coordinator. His details are in your Lions 2018-2019 Planning Diary as well as the Multiple District Directory. You can check out the contents of the trailer and how to go about booking it and/or Clarrie by logging in to the Member section of this website and clicking on the Member Resources tab.

East Fremantle Lions Markets
East Fremantle Club has obtained approval from the Town of East Fremantle to conduct a market on the 3rd Sunday of each month.
The location is a park on the southern shore of the Swan River, at Norm McKenzie Reserve, 85 Riverside Rd, East Fremantle and it will be open 9:30 to 2:00pm.
Details (and Application Form) can be found on their website http://eastfremantle.wa.lions.org.au or downloaded from the link below.
The markets are being supported by Booragoon and Fremantle Clubs, but any other LIONS who are interested (and enjoy) markets are welcome to enquire, and earn $ revenue for their own club through their participation.
Please check with East Fremantle LIONS for details and how it works …. Someone who can help with bookings etc will be especially welcome to enquire, and they of course will be a shoe-in for participation on the day of the events as well.
The picture shows an aerial view of the location.
Stall-holder enquiries are welcome, and not for profit organisations will be welcome with special consideration; for example, our friends at Rotary will have a spot promoting their “Shelterbox” programme for disaster relief.
We seek LIONS support in attendance, and even just helping hands (and minds) to make this new market a success for many years to come.
