Lion John gets life

John Brady OAM was awarded life-membership of the Ocean Grove Barwon Heads Lions Club at the recent changeover dinner.
John’s tireless work in helping others has embodied the Lions’ mantra of ‘we serve’ to a tee.
In his element at the helm of a good old-fashioned sausage sizzle, John was the driving force behind the Food Bank and the Community Dinners at Barwon Heads. But that is only a small part of what John has done for the local community.
At the changeover dinner, John was appointed vice-president of Ocean Grove Barwon Heads Lions Club, while Grant Hull will replace Lloyd Smith as president. Phillip Scambler will be secretary and Simon Stuart was elected treasurer.
Grant was born and raised near Belgrave in Melbourne’s east and was with Leopold Lions for 18 years. Grant has been with Ocean Grove Barwon Heads Lions for three years.
