News From The Lions Club Of Young

The Lions Club of Young have had a very busy first half of the year, with guest speakers, conventions and supporting students.

The Club hosted Roma White and Sue Hewitt-Davis from Marymead Catholic Care to deliver an introduction on the topic of foster care.

Lions Club of Young Publicity Officer Heather Miller said, “Their presentation was not only informative but deeply moving, shedding light on the different types of foster care available, including emergency care, short-term care, long-term care, and respite care.”

“Their insights were both enlightening and inspiring, leaving attendees with a deeper understanding of the importance of fostering and the incredible work being done by Marymead Catholic Care.”

“The members of The Lions Club of Young greatly appreciated the informative and engaging delivery, which highlighted numerous ways to make a difference in a child’s life.”

The Club also hosted Keith Doldisson from the Conservatorium of Music.

“He teaches 198 students each week, a testament to his dedication and passion for music education.”

“Lions President David thanked Keith for his very informative address and presented him with a Certificate of Appreciation.”

“Keith’s journey and dedication to music education serve as an inspiration, demonstrating the profound impact that one individual can have on the cultural fabric of a community,” said Heather.

Members attended the annual convention in Traralgon, alongside members from all over Australia.

“Inspirational and informative speakers provide valuable knowledge and support, inspiring and empowering Lions Club members throughout Australia to continue their vital work within their communities.”

“Through their dedication and generosity, these individuals and foundations foster an environment of learning, growth, and community spirit, ensuring that the Lions Clubs can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless individuals across Australia and the world,” said Heather.

The Club financially supported high school student Anneliese Rothe to attend the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) Year 12 program held annually at the Australian National University (ANU). “Her highlights included staying on campus, attending workshops, and interacting with Antarctic scientists discussing global and microclimates, the oceans, and the poorly mapped Southern Ocean.”

“Anneleise Rothe strongly recommends Year 11 students interested in science or engineering to apply to the NYSF Year 12 program or STEM holiday hubs at nysf.
