December 2011 Kangaroo Valley Voice www.kangaroovalley.nsw.au Page 10 2011 has indeed been an interesting year for your local Lions and the organisation as a whole. We started the year with many disasters and people requiring support of differing kinds in their hard times. Lions can hold their head high that they were involved in the high profile disasters but also more importantly in the local ones where we our neighbours, friends and family needed that little extra. Kangaroo Valley Post Office Stationery Ink cartidges Planet Ark recycling Think globally Transact locally Bendigo Bank CBA NAB St George IMB Illawarra C.U. Teachers C.U. Police C.U. Visa Cr Mastercard Cr + 70 more financial institutions The swimming pool opened at the start of November and many of you realised the value of the season pass and this year we sold more than we usually do. They are still on sale and offer great value and for a modest low fee you then have access to the pool for the whole season. To those who have purchased these already, thank you. They make the life of the guards easier and it also helps us maintain the continuation of the pool for you. Plans are being made for the Learn to Swim classes that we normally have run in the pool in the school holidays. This will be subject to the availability of a suitable teacher so watch out for the notices. This year we have sent many pairs of old prescription glasses off to those less fortunate. So rather than leave those old glasses in the drawer, please consider donating them to the glasses campaign that lions has been running for a number of years. They can be left in a box at the Chemist in town. At the hotel on Christmas Eve, Lions will again be out selling their tickets in the hamper. This is a great hamper and your support would be appreciated. Lions are also running a first aid course for some of their members and if you would like to update your qualifications please contact Jason Horton on 4465 2222 who can provide you details about when this is being run. The course will also be suitable to first timers. The primary school scholarships continue and again this year we will be rewarding two local children with $500 towards their first year at high school. While talking of young people the Annual Youth of the Year campaign will be run on the 10 th December 2011 at the Osborne Park Hall. There are three great young local contestants and this is shaping up to be a great contest. If you are interested in a good night out and want to see our young people doing their best call our Lion Tamer, Carolyn Green on 4465 1384, who will only be too happy to give you the details and take your booking. The Lions Christmas cakes and puddings are available, as always at the usual venues. They make great presents and are yummy as well. On behalf of the Kangaroo Valley Lions family may your Christmas and New Year be safe and filled with family and friends. After Christmas Eve Lions take a break when they too can spend time with their families and recharge their batteries. There is of course always one guarantee and that is that they will be back in 2012, rested. Jason Horton Last call for Art and Soul participation The preparation for the publication of the book designed to showcase many special features of Kangaroo Valley is well underway, with new surprises appearing each week. The editorial and photographic team are in action virtually every day and are discovering even more depth and interesting subjects in the agricultural, horticultural and artistic culture of the productive and innovative citizens of this valley. The deadline is fast approaching (like December 7) for finalising the content of “Art and soul of the Valley”, so any growers, sowers, breeders, painters, sculptors, photographers, music makers, instrument makers, jewellers and the like who would like to be featured in the book, please contact us without delay.

As Angus Kennedy sagely remarked, ‘It’s the best dressed day in the Valley’. George Howe and Isobel Butler enjoying the day The Committee wishes to thank Nikki and Gerald for the excellent luncheon and the Club Manager, Stuart Christison for his unfailing support. A big thank you to Jo Wilmott who lent her beautiful Miscellaneum jewellery for the fashion parade. Through the generosity of many donors, there was a variety of interesting prizes for the Raffle and the Hat Parade drew record competitors; making the judges’ task extremely difficult. The Committee wishes to thank the eighty people who made the effort to ‘dress up’ for the occasion and offer monetary support for CMRI. There were also several generous donations from members of the community and this contributed to the total of $2500 raised on the day. Thank you to all. This year we were Three well dressed ladies on show fortunate to have special help with the decorations from the talented Quietta and the resulting colour and innovations certainly gave the WOW factor to the venue. Another Cup and another winner for the record books. See you all next November. Joan Bray Left to right: Mary McIntyre, Jenelle Brangwin and Alan Gilden dressed in their finest.
