Coming together at a joint meeting of Deloraine and Westbury Lions Clubs last month were Deloraine Lions Club President Terry Pickett, Westbury Lions Club President Phil Steers, Tania Rattray MLA, joined by the Tasmanian coordinator of the Australian Lions Children’s Mobility Foundation George Bugeja and his wife Therese from Ulverston Lions Club.
George Bugeja reported to the members on the successes of the Foundation in assisting families who had children with mobility issues.
George, stepping down from the role of Tasmanian coordinator after 6 years, highlighted the difference mobility makes to children previously unable to enjoy independent movement.
Funds for the project are donated from Lions Clubs and from the collection of used postage stamps which are processed and sold in a dedicated stamp auction in Sydney.
