Lions celebrates milestone

Lions Club of Ocean Grove Barwon Heads celebrated its Retired Living project.

Lions Club of Ocean Grove Barwon Heads celebrated a milestone with its Retired Living project, with the completion of construction of two houses in the Kingston estate.

The project commenced 10 years ago with the objective of helping those in need of housing support in the local area, particularly the elderly.

Once the two houses, which are located at 34 Silverwood Parade, Ocean Grove, are sold, over $500,000 will have been raised for this worthy cause.

Last Saturday Lions Club members, and local business supporters of the project got together to toast the success, which started with the donation of a block of land by a local developer (Kingston Estate).

There is a growing need for housing support in the community and as a result of the successful fundraising the Lions Club will be able to help people down on their luck for many years to come.
