Going strong

The Lions Club of Naracoorte unveiled its contribution to the celebration of Lions International’s 75 years of service to the Australian community through a very unique garden of metal sunflowers at the Lions Pioneer Park.

The brainchild of Lions Shelley Koch, Andrew Hutchison and Graeme Wight, a field of 300 metal flowers were cut to a template by Haynes Engineering, then finished off with the assistance of the Mens Shed, Naracoorte High School students and a team of painters from within the Lions Club.

You can view the Sunflower Garden for the rest of this month at its location in front of the train in the park.

Clubs throughout Australia have committed to establishing some form of commemorative garden and it is generally agreed that Naracoorte has produced something unique.

Now in its 58th year of service to this community, the Lions Club of Naracoorte is always on the lookout for new members to join its team of more than 40 men and women.
