Fundraising
We
would like to appeal to the members of the public and their companies
to support the Lions Club of Fish Hoek in our fund-raisers.
Every cent that is collected from the fund-raisers is used to assist in the many projects that the Lions club of Fish Hoek and Lions International are actively involved with in the Fish Hoek and surrounding community.
Our projects cover a variety of community needs, and it is only with your assistance that we can truly excel at our fund-raising and be able to grow existing projects and establish new ones to serve the community better.
If you would prefer to make a donation directly to the club, please email our club treasurer at treasurer@fishhoeklionsclub.org.za to arrange it.
The Lions Club of Fish Hoek will be hosting a Morning Market sale of useful second-hand items in good condition at the Fish Hoek Civic Centre on the 29th of August 2009 between 8:30am and 1pm.
The funds raised will be used to assist us to recover some of the expenses that are entailed from running an eye clinic for the needy, assisting with elder care in Fish Hoek, or assisting the community in the many other projects the Lions Club of Fish Hoek are involved in.
Why not come along on the day and browse the variety of bric-a-brac, potted plants, used clothing, children's' toys puzzles and books. There are even a few CD's for sale too. Buy the items you are interested or keep a note for further deliberation.
If
you chose to make a note then perhaps you can visit our tea-room to
assist you in making your purchase decision by having a cup of
tea/coffee and sandwiches or some cake at a very reasonable cost.
Why not bring some friends to assist you, or meet them there, and enjoy your refreshment together.
Don't be too long with the tea as someone else might snap up your bargain.
If
you would like to donate items for the Fish Hoek Lion Club Morning
Market, or have any queries, please contact the the convenor below:
Janice Salthouse at Tel: 021-782-3265 or by email : fundraising@fishhoeklionsclub.org.za
Maynardville Community Chest Carnival
The Community Chest Carnival began as a Theatrical Garden Party in 1951
and has grown to become the biggest Public Relations event on our
events calendar. Many volunteers(over 8500) donate their time, skills
and expertise in order to create a carnival that brings the community
together for four fun filled evenings. The Lions Club of Fish Hoek is
proud to be associated with Community chest on this event
Each year the Maynardville Community Carnival takes place and the Lions
Club of Fish Hoek, as well as many other clubs, get involved by
donating our time, skills and expertise in order to create a fun filled
and profitable Community Carnival.
2009 is the 58th annual carnival and it promises plenty of family
entertainment, live music and themed jazz evenings. The carnival will
be run from the 25th of February to the 28th of February at
Maynardville near Wynberg in Cape Town.
An array of 80 stalls is normally on display that sell everything from
funky clothes to candyfloss and tasty cuisine from as far as Austria,
India, Holland and Italy. There are also fun stalls along the way for
the kids.
All fundraising monies earnt by the Lions Club of Fish Hoek on the
carnival days goes to the Community Chest and the Lions end up working
hard, enjoying the atmosphere and doing it all to raise funds for the
community.
Come and visit us at The Prawn Palace and see some of
our
members in action

Blikkies
This is one of the tins with a Lions
label
wrapped
around it that you see next to some shop-owners tills. These tins allow
a
shopper to post a few cents into this tin and contribute to the ongoing
fund-raising Lions Club of Fish Hoek are involved in.
The Lions Club of Fish Hoek uses every cent it collects for the
improvement of
its community. Blikkies provide a handy way for all members of the
public to
assist our club in the many projects we are involved in. Should you
wish to
either have a free collection tin donated to you, or a full one
collected,
please contact the convenor at blikkies@fishhoeklionsclub.org.za

Booksales
The
Lions Club of Fish Hoek
previously held a second-hand book sale at Longbeach Mall.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of new book stock being donated and the
quality of the existing book stock as well as the extra-ordinary amount
of time required to sort the book stock, this fund-raiser has been
abandoned.

Christmas
Cakes
Annually the Lions Club of Fish Hoek sells Christmas fruit cakes to aid
their fund-raising efforts. The 1 kilogram cakes are expertly
manufactured by Albany Bakery and can make an excellent fruity base for
your Christmas cake or can be enjoyed on their own. They are normally
available from around October and they normally sell out just before
Christmas each year.
The cakes are proving very popular and cost effective as our sales
topped 800 cakes in 2008. This shows a 15% increase in cake sales from
2007! Keep an eye out for their arrival in your area and pick yours up
as soon as possible. The cakes have an excellent shelf life and if they
are not made up as a Christmas cake, are wonderful for afternoon tea,
or as a daytime snack.
The Slangkop Biker's Rally
 |
When
the Lions Club of Fish Hoek Simonsbay approached Ulysses to join with
them in organising and hosting a motorcycle rally in Cape Town they
jumped at the opportunity as the funds raised could be of assistance in each club's community projects, whilst also allowing them to do what they loved to do most – ride motorcycles and have fun with people who enjoy doing the same thing. |
| The involvement of members of both clubs, who start a full year in advance for planning the rally, has laid the foundation for a very successful fund-raising event that started in 2005. The rally that brings with it plenty of fun, good music, a chance to meet old friends and have a few dops, as well as providing the necessary funds both clubs need to further assist the needy intheir respective community projects. The rally is open to all bikers to enjoy the camaraderie of an expanding biker fraternity. NO car entrants will be allowed. |
|
| When
the rally participants start arriving one of their first thoughts is
about visiting the bar for a cold one and then pitching their tent. For
the next two days its all hands on deck as members from both clubs work
flat out to register rally participants, keep the liquid refreshments
flowing, the music playing and also provide rally clothing or extra
badges. An enormous marquee houses the pub, the band and some tables and chairs. The surrounds house the “tent village”, the bikes, and various food and biker apparel stalls. |
 |
| During the course of the rally there is non-stop drinking, eating and partying with live music playing and the usual entertainment. The music is provided in the evenings and will cover bothFriday and Saturday nights. More details about the activities as they become available. In 2010 the full rally fee of R170 needs to either be pre-paid, as in the case of pre-entries,
or paid on arrival at the rally gate. The rally entrance fee includes a rally badge as well as a rally wristband.
Entries received before the rally entry form cut-off date(pre-entries) in early April will receive a quicker entrance into the rally as no forms will need to be filled in. Just bring yourself along to the gate, identify yourself and receive your badge and wristband and you are on your way to enjoying the first cold one from the cash bar, and of course getting a better tent site. Rally shirts will be on sale in the main tent at R90 (S/M/L) and R110 for larger sizes. Extra badges will probably also be on sale. All 2010 rally entries will qualify for entry into a lucky cash prize draw. Pre-entries received
before the entry form cut-off date will qualify for a BONUS entry into the lucky draw. The winner of each prize must be present at the draw and claim his/her prize. |
|
The cash prizes are:
There are also full time medical treatment facilities available at the rally.
|
|
|
Come along with your biking friends whether you ride a motorcycle or a scooter, mix with
fellow biker guys and gals and enjoy the rally. Only after the rally is there time for the event organisers and helpers to rest their sore bones and tired muscles and of course catch-up with family and pets, before starting the plans for the next Slangkop Bikers' Rally. We are anticipating over 1000 bikers in 2010 so come along for a jol and have a dop with a few of your mates over the weekend. |
