Queensland Lions Clubs says thanks for donations

LAST week Nowra Lions Club held a short and sharp clothing drive to help flood victims in Queensland.

As Lions district governor Beverley Bates comforted evacuees in a basketball stadium in the Lockyer Valley, she was clearly emotional.

“We will never be able to fully express our thanks for what the Nowra Lions Club has done,” she said.

“What a wonderful effort – I was absolutely amazed.”
