June 2021… The Elephant in the room
Ladies, we know that this has come as a shock to many of you but for
those who have been a Lioness since the early nineties, it is not such a
surprise. The closure of Lioness Clubs has been in the background for
many years, LCI have just formalised it with a closing date.
Our Australian Lions were not made aware of this decision by LCI and
Council Chairperson Kim Forrest only found out during the ANZI
Forum in Jakarta in September. I would like to thank CC Kim for her
support of our Lioness Clubs in as much as trying to find ways for us to
maintain our history by suggesting a ‘special Lioness District’.
We would like to thank all of the clubs that have forwarded their
responses to the questions we sent and for all of your thoughts. These
have been forwarded to CC Kim so that she can see how our Lioness
members have responded to the news. The Council of Governor’s have
a meeting in January and I am sure our current situation will be
discussed.
In the meantime, ladies, please keep doing what you are doing, caring
for our communities, caring for each other and enjoy being a LIONESS.

Outback bubs initiative helping Central West families…
A baby hamper initiative by Central West Hospital and Health Service is
proving a blessing for families experiencing personal crises across the
region.
Project coordinator and Social Worker Kathryn Willett has worked to
identify the best items and find local sources.
“Local families, individuals and businesses have jumped on board with
donations to fill the hampers which we are calling Outback Bub packs,
include clothes, baby care products, toys and essential household items to
a value of about $100.”
“We provide them to families and individuals who access our social
worker service for many reasons, whether that be domestic violence
situations, financial distress or medical complications both before and
after the birth of their child.”
Redcliffe Central Lioness Club…Q3
Lions Children of Courage Awards…
We hosted our 18th Annual Lions Children of Courage awards,
recognising 16 amazing young people for their bravery and courage. The
children are nominated by local schools in the categories of special needs;
courageous act or deed, outstanding sporting achievement or sibling
recognition.
Each child is presented with a certificate, a medallion, a teddy bear and an
NRL backpack with goodies, i.e a football and drink bottle.
The Redcliffe Leagues Club has been our major sponsor since 2002 and
the NRL since 2013. We thank both of these organisations for their
ongoing support.
Since 2002 our club has been privileged to recognise 256 children as
Lions Children of Courage.
This is one of our favourite events on the calendar and it is well supported
by our sponsoring Lions Club of Redcliffe Central Inc.

Blast from the Past…
Hugging
Feels good, Dispels loneliness,
Overcomes fears, Opens doors to feelings,
Builds self-esteem, Fosters altruism,
Slows down aging.
Huggers stay younger longer,
Helps curb appetite.
We eat less when we are nourished by hugs-
When our arms are being wrapped around others.
Victorian Lioness Breakaway March 1997
Love this one, it will help to keep us young, saves dieting and makes us feel
good…. what more could we ask for.
Merry Christmas to all
of our hard-working
Lionesses. May you all
have a well-deserved
rest once your
Christmas projects are
completed.
Best wishes from…
Wilma, Lenore, Jo,
Cynthia, Beccy and Liz

Muswellbrook Lioness Club Prettiest Garden Award
Thank you to Betty, Bev and Denise for the wonderful time
we had driving around Muswellbrook on Thursday 10th
October 2019. It was a beautiful afternoon and I think we
all realised really how the drought is affecting everyone.
This year we have went with a drought tolerant garden that
still shows its beauty with it holding its own. The Winners
Trevor and Pam Anspach were over the moon and were
totally surprised with being awarded the Prettiest Garden
Award from the Muswellbrook Lioness Club. Thank you to
everyone involved.
