At the end of October we assisted the Adelaide Hellenic Lions Club at their Glendi Festival held at Adelaide Showgrounds. Our duties were to clear tables spread around the whole area of the Festival, not difficult but very continuous from about 12.00 noon until 10.00pm. My sincere thanks to Lions Ray Dix, Graham Higgs, Bob Mountford and Michiji and LL Tomiko Yamanaka and, particularly my daughter Deborah, for helping me over the last six hours. We have not yet received payment for our efforts, but I am sure the Adelaide Hellenic L.C. will adequately compensate for our contribution. Another successful breakfast at the Hutt Street Centre on November 10th with over 60 deserving people served a filling breakfast of eggs and bacon, with ample toast, tea and coffee. Thanks to the Lions who get out of bed early to carry out this project. At the Club meeting on 17th November we welcomed our District Governor, Lynn Shoemark, and her husband, Lion Geoff. Our attendance numbers were below average, but I believe she enjoyed her visit and said it was a rare experience to attend a meeting that could conduct all relevant business in a little over one hour. On behalf of Lions Clubs International MD she presented the Club with a plaque to recognise our 50th birthday and also presented her District bannerette, her DG’s pin and the International President’s pin. On your behalf I made a presentation President Dean receiving the plaque recognising the Club’s of our Club bannerette, our 50th birthday special wine 50th Anniversary, from DG Lyn Shoemark; and above, handing glasses and some wine. over to Lion Graham at the Melbourne Cup luncheon.
