Lara Lions Club 'We Serve'
St Laurence Park
10 Years On!!!
It's been ten years since the Lions
Club of Lara donated sufficient funding to enable St Laurence Park to
purchase a Scooter for patient assessment and for loan to people
when required.
The Scooter has travelled many, many
kilometres and has assisted a huge number of people and is still going
strong.

Parnerships
The Lions Club of Lara works in partnerships with other community groups, one being St Laurence Park. The Club has assisted the St Laurence Residents Association with many projects over the years and always assists with the Annual Fair Programme with running the BBQ. Some of the projects undertaken include (click on images for a larger version):
