SIX COOLUM Lions were presented with a ‘Lions Clubs International Service Award’ on April 2, with Division 8 Councillor Taylor Bunnag making the presentations at the Lions Community Centre in Coolum.
The award recipients were Stuart Sharp – 50 years charter member, Bruce Parkes – 30 years, Jeff Williams – 30 years, Ralph Clark – 30 years, Daniel Homewood – 15 Years and Mark Newlan – 10 years.
Stuart Sharp is a Coolum living legend, having served Lions with distinction for over 50 years. Also, he was the first Coolum Ambulance Officer appointed on Aug 28, 1978, and for the first three years, he was the only Ambulance Officer. After 36-plus years in the QLD Ambulance service, Stuart retired, but he continues to volunteer with Coolum Lions.
Also, Coolum Lions greatly appreciate the many years of dedicated service to Lions and our community by Bruce, Jeff, Ralph, Daniel, and Mark.
