A cornerstone within the Burdekin community, the Home Hill – Ayr Lions Club’s extraordinary generosity, fundraising efforts and commitment to supporting the shire’s future generations underpins the success of many local organisations, individuals and events.
Over the past twelve months, the Home Hill – Ayr Lions Club made valued donations to the Home Hill State High School’s Optic Minds Competition, Zonta Club Burdekin Inc., Movember Australia, the Burdekin Shire Youth Council’s Fast Track Talent Showcase, and supported an entrant and float in both the Burdekin Water Festival and Home Hill Harvest Festival.
One of the Home Hill – Ayr Lions Club’s final efforts for 2024 was achieved in conjunction with the Rotary Club and the Home Hill Hospital Benefit Fund, whereby just over $6000 was donated to the Home Hill Hospital to improve facilities and the care provided to patients.
The Home Hill – Ayr Lions Club’s current executive consists of President Laurie Land, Secretary John Donald, and Treasurer Nyree Woods, who coordinate the efforts of 26 members in and around the Burdekin district.
Interested members of the community are more than welcome to become part of the fantastic Club through contacting John on 0447-561-790 or attending the Club’s regular meetings held on the second and fourth Monday of each month from 6:30pm at Home Hill’s Crown Hotel.
“We’re always looking for new members and membership is open from anyone aged 18 to 118,” shared John.
“We are chasing younger members to get young people’s ideas as many of us are starting to get a bit older, and you know what happens, you stay in your ways, so if we get younger people into the Club, they might give us a different direction.”
The Home Hill – Ayr Lions Club Annual Youth of the Year Quest will be held on Monday the 24th of February, whereby Burdekin students in Year 12 are encouraged to prepare a speech for judgement to eventually represent the district against neighbouring areas.
“The Youth of the Year Quest gives kids the chance to speak publicly in front of people they’ve never spoken to before, and meet the Lions Club members,” added John.
All meetings held by the Club are open to the public, and the Burdekin community is warmly invited to attend the first Home Hill – Ayr Lions Club meeting for 2025 on Monday the 10th of February from 6:30pm onwards at the Crown Hotel, as well as the Youth of the Year Quest on Monday the 24th of February at the same time and location.
