Lions still serving Charlestown community after 62 years

SHARE

After more than six decades serving the community, and following the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the Lions Club of Charlestown is in a partying mood.

And, the organisation, will do just that by hosting a Diabetes Fundraiser Concert at Club Charlestown, 5 Lincoln Street, on Sunday 15 August between 1pm and 5pm.

The show, featuring the likes of entertainers Genevieve, Chris Bond, Jumpin Jukebox and Novatones, doubles as an opportunity to amass financial assistance for the Lions Diabetes Foundation, which hopes to find a cure to the chronic condition.

A high tea is also included in the ticket price.

Charlestown Lions past president and global advisor Lydia Macokatic said the organisation was looking forward to presenting the event.

“The concert is a yearly fundraiser [by Charlestown Lions] for the Lions Diabetes Foundation,” she explained.

“But, unfortunately due to the COVID-19 situation, we had to cancel the show in 2020.

“So, we want to make this year bigger and better.

“Thankfully, Club Charlestown has kindly donated its Lincoln room for the event.

“We just need people to buy a ticket – and help us find a cure for Type 1 and 2 diabetes.

“Have a good time for a good cause.”

Ms Macokatic said Lions still played a vital role in this day and age.

“We’re there for communities locally, state-wide, nationally and internationally,” she told the Newcastle Weekly.

“We assist people in times of emergency and need.

“However, it’s not only during the bad times.

“Lions supports and encourages our local community during the good ones, too.”
