On Sunday, October 26th 2019, members of our Lions Club, and The Little Roarers Cubs Club, attended the 2019 Service Clubs Association of South Australia’s Community Service Awards at the Glenelg Golf Club.
This is a very special annual event, supported by the South Australian Premier’s Office.
We were very excited to have been a joint winner for the Community Activity Award for our Hear Me Roar! Project. We also won the Harry Tillyer School Community Service Award for our Little Roarers Cubs Club.
As you can see from the award winners, and runner ups, listed below, service clubs from across South Australia are doing an amazing job. These clubs, individuals and projects, are simply inspiring.
Thank you to the SCASA committee for all your hard work to make this year’s event happen, and to every service club, member and volunteer, thank you for everything you do in the community.
