Lions Club support environmental initiative

The Glenside Lions Club supports an environmental initiative of the City of Burnside to provide residents with two free rolls of compostable rubbish bags per year.

Approaching the City of Burnside in 2022, the Glenside Lions Club was eager to become involved in more community environmental initiatives.

Prior to the partnership, residents could only pick up their allocation of bags from the Burnside Civic Centre, however, the stock is now also available to pick up from the Bookmart on Kennaway Street, Tusmore.

Originally receiving over 100 rolls of bags back in November 2022, the Bookmart has distributed their entire allocation with incredibly positive public feedback.

President of the Glenside Lions Club, Leonie Varga said the initiative came back to servicing the community.

‘We are always welcoming of promoting programs like this through our channels,’ Ms Varga said.

Operating out of the Bookmart, with 27 local members, the Lions Club also provides community services including free vision and skin checkups with partnering charities, as well as donating Bookmart proceeds to local and international causes.
