Lyndhurst Lions Grocery Drive
COVID Lockdowns are tough on everyone in our community. There is a part of our community which is suffering more than most. We want to give something to them as a way of saying we are here to help. The Lions motto is 'We Serve' and is the primary purpose of our clubs. The Lions Club of Lyndhurst & District is requesting donations which will go towards purchasing groceries for distribution to our community St Vincent De Paul Cranbourne will help identify families and individuals worthy of our collection.
Edmund Rice Day
On Edmund Rice Day this year, Friday 12 May, we are celebrating our identity theme to, ‘Open our hearts and minds to build a better world for all,’ by committing to help those less fortunate. Encourage your son’s involvement on the day and support the fundraising effort. We are asking that each student contribute $30 or families with more than one student contribute $50. When making your donation please write your son's name in the details box on the payment page. Supporting those most in need is part of our history, our culture and our obligation. As Abraham Lincoln so succinctly reminds us – “When I do good. I feel good”. I thank you and your family in anticipation of your generous support of Edmund Rice Day.
Christmas Gift Giving
For over 20 years Soroptimist International Beenleigh have been providing food hampers at Christmas time to families, single persons, single parents with families. These food hampers are valued and provide necessary food items at a time when budgets are stretched. The smiles on the people receiving these gifts show how much these are valued. As Soroptimist Beenleigh have been gifting food hampers over such a long time, many organisations and people know of this and this year the list of people requesting food hampers due to the rising cost of living has increased beyond what we as a organisation can provide via the funds we have raised during the year. If you can spare $20.00 it would mean feeding a family for several days.

Brisbane Tango Orchestra Support Fund
Music is a public good. It is essential for the well-being of our communities. The BTO originally formed to fill the gap in the local music scene as there are no large tango orchestras based in Brisbane or Queensland, despite having a large and dedicated tango dance community. Unlike the many smaller tango ensembles that exist, the BTO is not commercially viable on its own. Just like symphony orchestras, museums and libraries, we need funding beyond ticket sales to be sustainable and to ensure artists are fully remunerated. We rely on the generous philanthropical support from music lovers like you to be able to bring this unique project to as many people as possible. To show our gratitude, donations will be acknowledged on our website. If you would like to discuss a partnership, please contact us at brisbanetangoorchestra@gmail.com.
Time Will Tell - Studio Season
Austinmer Dance Theatre [ADT] invites you into our rehearsal space for an informal showing, where you will have the opportunity to witness and enquire about the process behind getting an Austi production stage ready! As is the case with the majority of the world-wide Arts industry, all our 2020 productions were put on hold at the outset of COVID-19 and we've had to adapt and change to be able to continue working. So, in order to give our team a small but valuable performance platform and to help financially support our company, we have collectively made the decision to hold an Informal Showing/Open Rehearsal in our Bulli space over two weekends in November. To assist in making this a COVID safe event, audience members are encouraged to provide their own seating. So if you can make it, please bring along your funkiest (or your most comfortable) chairs, rugs, cushions or bean bags you have!
Medical evacuation robots for Ukraine
The “Maul” Ground Robotic Complex is the first Ukrainian robot made specifically for medical evacuation. It was designed by the medics, who know exactly what is needed. Maul is fast, resilient, and built from 3.5 years of real ground experience. With speeds of up to 70 km/h, it can quickly reach an injured and bring them to safety even under constant threats. It is an all-terrain robot, which can evacuate the wounded even in places unreachable by other vehicles. The Maul is fitted with an armored capsule to protect the injured person inside. In situations when the rescue mission is too dangerous for the medics, they must face the impossible choice of either risking their own lives or giving up on rescuing the wounded. They don’t have to be put in this situation with Maul. Mauls are fully autonomous and don’t require a human driver inside, which means they protects the medics just as much as they protect those they rescue.

All donations will go towards Rabbi Without Borders Operations. Your generosity allows us to continue the work that we do in bringing a diverse group of people together in an all-inclusive, non-denominational environemnt, infused with spiritual Jewish practice.
QSAR Fundraiser for 3 Puppies
QSAR recently rescued a family of dogs who had been surrendered to a vet. Unfortunately, three of those puppies need extensive specialist vetwork. One puppy is currently in ICU with a suspected fractured pelvis. He has already cost us several thousand in imaging and in ICU vet costs, and we are awaiting the likelihood he will require two surgeries. Another puppy has such a badly snapped humerus in her front leg she will require a front leg amputation and months of rehabilitation and support. A third puppy has a fracture in her back leg and she will likely need surgery and she will require months of rehabilitation. All up, we are looking at vet bills totalling around $20,000 in order to support and treat these three beautiful puppies to enable them to live wonderful lives. They will be in care long term with us, and we are committed to their best care. Help Us Mend Their Broken Beginnings - thank you for your enduring support.
