Dannevirke Lions find value in returning the community's generosity.

Elske members now have wheels thanks to Lions
Bush Telegraph Tararua Feb 2024 by Dave Murdoch

Happy passengers in the Dannevirke Host Lions bus at the start of the new Elske year on Monday, February 5.

After a considerable search of the community for a new van to take Elske Dannevirke members to their weekly get-together, Dannevirke Host Lions has agreed to make available its van loaned from Hato Hone St John.

Originally donated to St John by Gwen Fairbrother to be a health shuttle, it was retired from its fleet last year and a request from Lions to have the bus to help transport donations and deliveries from its Lion’s Den secondhand shop was accepted.

Now it has an extra use as the bus’ hydraulic lift is ideal for transporting elderly with mobility issues.

Lions say the bus has become an essential part of the den’s operations and if it was not for the generosity of the community donating goods and St John making the bus available it could not operate its shop. Similarly Elske, in its new venue at Knox Church, Dannevirke, could not operate its Monday session for its group of elderly, many of whom have been attending for over 20 years, without a bus when ACW withdrew its van after a loan of six months.

Lions president Barbara Ferguson says she went with driver Steve St Merat to pick up the Elske passengers in a trial run and realised how much they enjoyed getting out to meet once a week and how useful the bus is.

Steve, also Lions treasurer, says it is nice to return the generosity to the community and the bus is ideal. The club will also pay its running costs from the den’s profits.
