Lions supporting local community service organizations in Community 100 program Nationally, 100 projects were selected with a grant of $1,000 each. In the Manly Warringah area three projects were selected : Mr Graham Lugsdin Queenscliff Surf Lifesaving Club received air conditioner for first aid/patrol room (Balgowlah Lions), Ms Tanya Carmont. Water Skills for Life – teach swimming and water safety skills to the Tibetan Community of Dee Why (Frenchs Forest Lions) and Mr Jake Carmont Funding to support the Ripper Nippers program, a modified program for Special Needs Nippers.(Manly Lions) Tanya Carmont, President Water Skills for Life says “I have been a swim instructor for number of years and have volunteered to teach swimming at Narrabeen and Collaroy rockpools. I have a passion to empower people no matter what age or ability to be safe around the aquatic environment helping them to enjoy the water experience. I feel that giving back to my local community as well as helping developing countries in water safety techniques and swimming is an important role I have to play. After my first volunteer Vietnam experience, I had an urge to be able to help others and so Water Skills for Life began. I have a very dedicated Committee who share the same passion as I do.”Many Tibetan's new to our area are unfamiliar with our beaches and waterways, and have no 'water awareness'. Water Skills for Life are committed to educating this community, who may be at risk on our beaches without proper education and training. Water Skills for Life are working closely with the Tibetan Community of Australia to provide a program that will develop water awareness, swimming and water safety skills. Water Skills for Life volunteers operate a swim program at Dee Why rock pool commencing in December each summer season. “ Rob Oerlemans, Lions Australia Executive Officer said the Community 100 program has highlighted how many fantastic projects there are and how these grants can fund a much needed piece of equipment or keep a meal program running, for example. “These amazing projects can make a significant impact to their local communities, and what better way to celebrate 100 years of service than by doing what has made us great,.. helping others,” said Mr. Oerlemans. “For 100 years Lions have shared a core belief that the community is what we make it and Lions Australia’s Community 100 program celebrates this belief.” 100% of all fundraising goes back into the communities we serve.

Earlier this month, a 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia. While the quake lasted only 15 seconds, more than 100 buildings collapsed and more than 100 people have perished. Thousands of people were left homeless and rescuers used their bare hands to pull people from the rubble. Hospitals were overflowing and patients were being treated outside in tents. The situation is still dire. Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) responded immediately, issuing a US$100,000 Major Catastrophe grant to assist with both immediate and long-term needs. Local Lions sprang into action, offering food, blankets, medical supplies and clean water to the victims. Lions around the world have continually supported LCIF's disaster relief area of funding, which has allowed the foundation to respond with immediate financial support. Thank you for your dedication to helping those in need. Our thoughts go out to the victims of the Banda Aceh earthquake and to the Lions still working to help them. Please consider making a donation to the disaster relief fund so we can continue offering aid in times of catastrophe. Sincerely, Dr. Jitsuhiro Yamada Chairperson, Lions Clubs International Foundation
