PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the hard work and number of hours spent volunteering over the last 12 months plus the support given to myself and the Board over the last 6 months. I know a few things have changed so I thank you for being accepting of these changes. We are in a very busy time of year which can be both demanding and frustrating trying to juggle both our Lions and family commitments but with all your help we will get through it. A special thought to any of our members who have health concerns at this time I would like to wish you all a Merry and Safe Christmas plus a fantastic New Year. Thanks Sheila

CAR PARKING

For those not at the last meeting, I have been asked to look after the car parking this year and just to recap the information I presented at the last meeting, car parking this year has been extended by the council over the Christmas/ New Year period, as we all know this is our main money raising event for the year and with the extension of days will prove a very profitable It varies greatly from previous years as we will be doing the weekends leading into the peak Christmas – New Year period as well as the post weekends. Shown below are the dates. Weekend of 15-16 December 2018 Weekend of 22-23 December 2018 26 December 2018 through to 13 January 2019 (every day) Weekend of 19-20 January 2019 Long weekend 26-27-28/1/2019 I have attached a roster for the first two weekends – we need assistance for these days and if you could pick a shift and let me know what you would like to do

Look in your E-Mail for the roster to car parking. Note – last shift only requires one person as no money is taken.

Ode to a Bunning’s onion

1* I am a Bunning’s onion 7* So please do not forget me

My life was once quite grand, Now that I’m out of the way

I’d get to look at everything And now and again lift up that snag

As you held me in your hand. And smile and say G’day

2* Looking out the driver’s window 8* I’II still be just as tasty

Or at the people you would greet, Cooked so caramel and rich

All these scenes unfolded I’m just not as important

Up upon my sausage seat. Since becoming Bunning’s B#tch

3* Sometimes I would be blinded

Smothered by that sauce so red,

Or a squeeze of yellow mustard

Soaked up by the fresh white bread.

4* But now my life’s just not as good

As it used to be,

For my view is now constricted

By the snag on top of me.

5* And why you ask have things so changed,

Why did my status drop?

It’s all because some Gympie bloke

Trod on me and went flop!

6* So I’II fade into obscurity

Underneath some dodgy meat,

Now that Bunning’s changed the way

We eat our weekend treat. Peter McFadyen
