At the 2021 Toy Handover to local charities, the Rye Lions stepped up & donated $250 to Greg Millar, the club Secretary. With Covid limiting the amount of work that both Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula & the Rye Lions could do Greg expressed his sincere thanks for the donation.
The money will go towards the 2022 toy making program.
The Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula have worked all year to make toys for charities to distribute to children for Christmas. The charities present for the toy hand over were the Salvation Army & Food for All.

It is with much sadness that I am advising everyone of the passing of Dennis Capper last Monday.
Until sickness slowed him down, Dennis was a very active member of our club. He was an extremely talented singer & would often sing at a variety of functions on the Mornington Peninsula.
His passing has not been long after his wife Veronica died.
The club wishes to pass on its sympathies to his son Adam who is also an active member of our club.
