‘Thank You’ Message
Contributed by Gympie South Lions (January 2020)
We all know some places are worse off than others due to the long dry of 2019. Early in January
2020 a local family contacted Gympie South Lions to see if anyone could come along and help pick a
sizeable mango crop ready for transport to a drought stricken property a few hours away from Gympie.
The mangos would be feed to the cattle to help them survive.
A team of merry Gympie South Lions banded together and were able to help. They worked hard
to help the family, who were already receiving some support from other family members and friends.
But mangos all ripen at once……so many hands make light work.

FEBRUARY 2020 Lionhunter 17LOST AND FOUND
THE STORY OF THE LOST J.D.RICHARDSON PIN
Barry Green from Cowra Lions Club in NSW lost his James D. Richardson
Award pin when he was attending the 75th celebration of the Breakout at the
POW Camp in Cowra. He searched and searched for this pin for weeks, even
with a metal detector....but alas no joy!
I am a Member from Tewantin Noosa Lions Club in Queensland and I received
a phone call from a very kind lady who had taken the time to ring and tell
me that whilst she was holidaying in Cowra, she found a Lions pin which she described. Because it was a
J.D.Richardson pin, I immediately went to her home and retrieved the pin in order to send it to the rightful
owner. I thanked her on behalf of Lions and the owner of the pin (whoever it was).
I contacted the Cowra Lions Club by email and received a very prompt reply from their Secretary (Sue Thomas)
advising me that a long standing Member (Barry Green) had lost his pin. When I rang Barry Green, he
explained that he had lost this pin in on 29th July at an event that he attended in Cowra. Barry was very happy
to know that his pin was found.
This lady (Beverley Evans) found the pin on 21st October when she stepped out of her car to admire the
Memorial in the park and found the pin at her feet. Unfortunately, she was on a tight schedule and didn’t have
time to investigate the pin in Cowra so she kept it safe until she arrived home.
That’s when Beverley rang me to see if we could find out who it belonged to. So after an email and a phone call
the pin had found its owner. Needless to say Barry Green was elated and very grateful.
By the way Beverley Evans lives in Doonan Queensland which is 1,168 km from Cowra. By the way, after lying
on the ground for two months, the pin still looked brand new - no scratches or damage.
There are some wonderful people in our community. Thank you Beverley Evans.

NEW STAMP CLUB ADDRESS
The Australian Chapter of the Lions Stamp Club are still
looking for stamps, philatelic products and unwanted
collections to include in their project. Every stamp
received is sold and every cent coming from the sales
is passed on to the Australian Lions Childrens Mobility
Foundation. At the Geelong Convention last May the
donation was a record $48,000.
The Stamp Club secretary, Lion Ross Paine (Q4) said
that they have noticed a drop off in donations this year
and he is urging clubs to keep pushing the project in
their areas so they can hopefully match last years total.
Ross has recently changed his address and the new address for clubs in the Q Districts
to send their stamps is, Lion Ross Paine, PO Box 9399, Pacific Paradise. 4564
