WODEN COMMUNITY MARKET

The main fund-raising activity of the Woden Lions is the running of the Southside Markets each Sunday morning of the year except between Christmas and New Year and at Easter, or when the market is cancelled because of inclement weather.

 

The market is held in the public carpark between Corinna St and Hindmarsh Drive, Woden (opposite Magnet Mart).

 

Two club members (or partners or affiliates) are rostered each week from 7 am to 9.30 am to collect donations at the market entrances, and two are rostered from 9.30 am to 12 noon.  One other person is rostered to collect fees from the stall-holders.

 

Stall-holders pay (currently)  $7 for each parking bay used, or for the equivalent space where parking bays are not marked.  Market spaces are not pre-booked.  They are reserved by the stall-holders being in attendance and by merchandise for sale being laid out.  Many stall-holders arrive by 6 am or earlier, particularly in the lead-up to Christmas when spaces are in high demand.

SUPPORTING MALKARA SCHOOL

Malkara is a pre-school and primary school for students with moderate to severe disabilities. The students range in age from three to twelve years. A number of students also have varying degrees of physical disabilities. The school is administered by the ACT Department of Education and Training. Malkara's 2005 enrolment is 102 students

The major fundraiser for the school is the annual "Malkara Model Railway and Scale Model Exhibition." The exhibition is run on the first weekend in August each year. In 2005, Malkara hosted its 33rd exhibition with 29 exhibitors.

Lions Canberra Woden has supported Malkara School for over years. Our support has been in the form of:

    Membership on the Exhibition Committee
    Providing fifty person hours to administer the exhibition entry
    Maintaining the school's buses
    Funding the refurbishment of the school's kitchen
    Funding the development of playground equipment and
    Providing funding towards other minor projects.

Lions Canberra Woden will continue to support the Malkara School in its endeavour to "provide a positive student-centred learning environment that enables all students to develop towards their full potential and to be valued and contributing members of society."

ANU ORATORY 

Oratory is the art of making speeches, "art is art when it comes from the heart" and needless to say that oratory as a project became the heart of Canberra Woden Lions Club members.

In 1995 the club members Ron Reavley, Rex Ensbey, Rex Daley and Manikkam Reddy made the daunting effort to meet Vice-Chancellor Dean Tyrell and entered into an agreement to launch oratory as a project at the Australian National University (ANU) and at seven other colleges (private and public). After eleven years the oratory project has grown in strength. The Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) is now using oratory as a project.

  NATURALISATION CEREMONY

In the first half of each year the Woden Lions host a dinner at which there is a Naturalisation Ceremony for several persons becoming Australian citizens.  Those taking citizenship are guests of the club and do not do need to pay for the dinner.  They may bring family and friends who are required to pay the cost of the dinner.

TRUE BLUE AUSSIE

Lions Code of Ethics

  • To Show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.
  • To Seek success and to demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part.
  • To Remember that in building up my business it is not necessary to tear down another's; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to myself.
  • Whenever a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others, to resolve such doubts against myself.
  • To Hold friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.
  • Always to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, and my community, as to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act, and deed. To give them freely of my time, labour and means.
  • To Aid others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my substance to the needy.
  • To Be Careful with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not destroy
