Anglesea Lions put safety first

THE Lions Club of Anglesea has been spreading kindness by helping stop the spread of the virus.

Earlier in the month, the club partnered with Anglesea District and Community Bank to set up a stall at Anglesea’s shopping precinct where they handed out masks to passerby’s who needed one.

Club member Adrian Hunter said the Anglesea Lions were eager to ensure the town was well protected from transmission.

“We organised this before we even knew there would be regulations about facemasks. We really wanted to promote people wearing a mask.”

The club has decided to extend to their generosity further after the regulations prohibiting people to be in public without a mask came into effect.

They put together care packages for their older members to support them during lockdown

Mr Hunter said these packages will help their recipients through difficult times.

“We’re going to call it a ‘survivor pack’. They will be for elderly people, with little things to keep them occupied and a mask.”

These packages, which the club are currently handing out, not only include masks but crossword books, writing pads and more.

Anglesea District and Community Bank once again support them by donating $500 to help the Lions Club of Anglesea fill the packages.
