March 2011
This year has certainly started badly with the floods, cyclones and now the earthquakes.
Lions of course will come to the party in New Zealand and make an initial donation which will be followed up by donations that are made by members of the community to their local Lions Club.
With so many disasters this year already I can understand that many of you are probably “appealed out”.
No matter how small every little bit helps, remember that 100% of all donations are paid directly to the people in need and not consumed by administration costs. If you feel a need to donate, it would be appreciated and receipts can be provided as per usual arrangements.
On a happier note you will have read that the KV Lions Youth of the Year contestant has won the next level of competition and now moves into the next heats.
This is the best that one of our contestants has performed so far. Refer to separate story.
At the most recent meeting of the club it was agreed to endorse the commendable actions of the Tourist Association in their endeavour to make the bridge renovation experience one that the community can benefit from.
For the Pool Cover we have been looking at alternative sources of funding and negotiations are underway. It is hoped that we can report something to you soon. The club again catered for the Show and while it was busy previous years have been more successful.
The Community Centre continues to be in demand.
Dr Keir has moved in and all reports so far are that she is very thorough.
We have also found a new Massage Therapist to work at the community centre.
Her advertisement is in the trade section of this issue of the Valley Voice.
Margherita is planning to spend Tuesdays and Fridays in the valley and has asked that if you would like to avail yourself of her services, please call her and make an appointment.
With all this activity the meeting rooms in the community centre will become a little harder to book.
We have made some changes to the rooms and hope that you understand the need to attract these professionals does place some pressure on the rooms.
Until next time.
