The Donnybrook Lions Club was honoured to once again support the annual ANZAC Day Gunfire Breakfast—an important event that brings our community together in remembrance and respect for those who served.
Our team was on site early, firing up the BBQ before dawn. We commenced serving hearty bacon and egg breakfasts at 6:00am, and by 6:45am, we had provided 200 hot meals to veterans, families, and members of the public. It was a fantastic turnout and a tremendous effort by everyone involved.
Representing the Lions Club on the day were Bruce Hearman and Steve Garton, along with our guests for the morning—Tamara, who kindly captured the event photos, and Greg and Sam, who generously gave their time to assist. The community’s spirit of giving was on full display, with our donations box receiving over $500. This generous contribution from those attending will be donated in full to the RSL to support their continued work with veterans and their families.
Events like the Gunfire Breakfast are a reminder of how strong and connected our Donnybrook community is. The Lions Club is proud to play a role in supporting both the Shire and our local organisations through service and fundraising.
We’re also pleased to share some great news from the clubhouse. With help from the Shire, we’ve replaced our clubhouse gas hot water system and stove with new electric units—bringing much-needed upgrades to our kitchen. The Lions Club purchased the $900 replacement stove as part of the improvements. We will soon be back to enjoying hot dinners at meetings and events, and ready to keep serving the community with warm meals and warm hearts.
Thank you to everyone who supported ANZAC Day and continues to support the work we do.
