Oatley Lions Club

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (18:17:30):

On Tuesday 25 June I had the pleasure of attending the Oatley Lions Club changeover dinner, held at Olds Park Sports Club. On the night we were honoured with the presence of guest speaker Reverend Bill Crews, founder of the Exodus Foundation. Oatley Lions Club is one of the most important community groups in my electorate, and in the past year it has donated over $94,000 to many great causes including Childhood Cancer Research, feeding the hungry, and sponsoring St Jude's School in Tanzania. I congratulate John Morgan and John Perkins on their appointments as president and secretary respectively for 2019-20. I also congratulate Bryan Pirie, who is responsible for coordinating some of the amazing events in my electorate including the upcoming Oatley Fair. I trust that in the coming year the Lions Club of Oatley will continue to promote good citizenship, foster community spirit, provide forums for open discussion and encourage service-minded people. I thank Oatley Lions Club for its outstanding service to the community.
