CHARITY BOOK COLLECTION AND SALE
The Bell Block & Districts Lions Club are planning a Charity Book sale on the 22nd of June 2019 at the Fred Tucker Memorial Community Centre, Bell Block.
The big blue container shown below is situated in the parking area outside the centre off Parklands Avenue is the collection point for those of you who wish to donate you excess books. There is a slot in the door for you to insert these. If you have a large quantity of books to donate, please feel free to call Stan on 758 7352 or Barrie on 757 8890 to arrange a pick up or delivery time.
Proceeds from the sale of these books will go towards supporting Community projects in your area. Keep the 22nd of June free to come and buy your next lot of reading material at very reasonable prices.
There’s still time to clean out those excess books from your cupboards and shelves and to donate to this worthy cause.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
