This Saturday 21 April the Tawa Lions Market at Outlet City will be open from 9am to 2pm, featuring our regular Fruit and Vegetable vendor along with our own Lions stall with eggs and honey. There may well be other stalls on the day depending on the weather.

We will have honey stocks of Helen's creamed Clover, Bush and Manuka/Bush, along with liquid (runny) Meadow and Manuka/Bush. Our 600g pots of Manuka/Bush come in at $3.00 per 100g and our 900g pots (all other stock) come in at $1.76 per 100g - great value when compared to supermarket prices and such good quality that Helen puts her phone number on every label.

Tawa Lions gratefully acknowledges the support of Outlet City in providing the venue for our Market.

We are kind and generous people who want to help. That is why we work on projects to improve our communities and protect the environment. We get enormous satisfaction from the knowledge that what we do DOES make a difference. Moreover, we enjoy friendship and fun while doing so.

Whenever Lions club members get together, problems get smaller and communities get better because we help where help is needed – in our own communities and around the world – with unmatched integrity and energy.

The Lions Club of Tawa is part of a global organisation with 1.4 million members in 208 countries and geographic regions. With this much manpower, it is no wonder that Lions Club members can achieve extraordinary things, every day.

The Tawa Lions Club has a proud record of such service over the past 50 years. That is our history; we invite you to be part of its future.

You and your partner are cordially invited to join us for a complimentary “Information” evening at the Tawa Community Centre, 5 Cambridge Street at 7.15 for a 7.30pm start on 10th May 2018. This will be your opportunity to meet us and give you a chance to evaluate what membership of the Lions can do for you.

You might like to find out more about our club and what we do for the community before the 10th May, in which case can I invite you to come to our stall at the Tawa Saturday Market, Outlet City, Main Road, Tawa and talk to one of our members who will be staffing the stall. If you would like to attend the information evening, please contact Keith Kenderdine on (04) 234 8551.
