Car boot sale benefits charities

The Lions Club held its monthly car boot sale on Sunday, July 31, at Rogers Park, Woy Woy, benefiting local charities.

The car boot sale has been operating now for over 13 years.

The sale operated at Woy Woy Public School for about five years, but it was decided to move because numbers were dropping due to the location being hard to locate.

It was then moved to the old Youth Centre until council permitted it to operate at Rogers Park.

Over the years, the Lions Club has raised thousands of dollars for local charities.

Operator Mr Elmo Caust said that the club has given $2000 to the Rural Fire Brigade, and $500 to the melanoma clinic.

It had also given money to local families in need.

Some other charities the Lions Club helps include Woy Woy Hospital, Woy Woy Aged Care, local schools, nursing homes, St Vincent's, St Jude's Kitchen and the Salvation Army.

More than 20 members are involved in the local Lions Club, including members of the Lioness Club.

Weather permitting; the next car boot sale will be on August 28.
