Blacks Betta acknowledged
The Woodford Lions Club presented a certificate of appreciation to Blacks Betta Home Living on Wednesday last week, after the Woodford-based store donated an air-conditioner to the Woodford Lions den.
The only cost to the Woodford Lions Club was fees for installing and fitting the 9.1kW air-conditioner – valued at $2,500 – which has been in place since late December (2023).
Woodford Lions Club president David Kearns thanked Blacks Betta Home Living for its other services, including donating a 65-inch TV for the Christmas raffle.
Blacks Betta Home Living co-owner Jeff Black said the donation of the air-conditioner helped the Woodford Lions, especially in summer.
“It frees up funds for them to support the community,” he said.
With the Woodford Lions involved in activities such as Meals on Wheels, school bursaries, a mega raff le, community BBQs, a street carnival, and selling tickets at the Woodford Rodeo, Mr Black acknowledged the work of the Lions.
“They’re the glue that holds the community together, with the funds they raise and the activities they do,” he said.
Following the presentation of the certificate at the retail outlet, the attendees enjoyed a morning tea with each other.
