Bonville Sawtell Lions celebrate year-end with student presentations

BONVILLE Sawtell Lions Club members marked a successful first half-year at their Christmas meeting, which included giving cash to local schools for end-of-year student awards.

“We thank the City of Coffs Harbour Council for a Community Grant of $1650 which helped finance the presentations,” club spokesperson Ida Scolari told News Of The Area.

“The eight primary schools in our area received $300 each and the Neville Brown Memorial Scholarship of $2000 goes to Toormina High School to assist Senior Students during their final two years.”

This scholarship is awarded to deserving students, often recognising academic achievement or career aspirations.
