Bantry Bay Lions

Mongu Institute, Zambia - Sewing Project.

Lions support a project in Zambia, and make a donation: We had a presentation meeting with Sister Sandra from Zambia receiving the donation and giving is an excellent talk.

To see the full story go here.

Lions Nora Lynch who was the moving force behind the Bantry Bay Lions Covid Remembrance Heart , has been busy decorating the Heart for Christmas.

Thank you, Nora, for your hard work looking after this for us.

This year, once again, we were collecting at Supervalu and Lidl over the weekend of 3rd to 5th December to enable us to donate Food Vouchers for St Vincent de Paul to distribute to needy families this Christmas.

Many thanks to the two supermarkets for their excellent support of this project.

Many thanks to those in Bantry who donated. As a result of this generosity we were able to give St Vincent de Paul 55 vouchers vouchers valued at €50 each.

In this photo we can see the vouchers being handed over to St Vincent de Paul.

Two Lions, Immediate Past President Nora Lynch and President Marion Rouse, were awarded a Melvin Jones Fellowship by the Club today.

A few members were able to meet on Bantry Square (Market Day) by the COVID Rememberance Heart we erected last year to support the Health Service Workers and those lost to COVID.

Bantry Bay Lions hooked up with Rural Animal Welfare Resources (RAWR) on 10th October in a joint Community Project.

This was reported very well in the Southern Star as follows:

The two Lions who went thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it is hoped that this will help forge a link between the Lions and RAWR for the future.
