The AGM Meeting of the Macarthur Advancement & Development Association Inc.

Next Meeting AGM on September 13th at the Macarthur Hotel, 6.30pm for dinner

A ‘drone’ photographer operating at this year’s

‘Orford Rally’ was asked if he would be prepared to

visit Macarthur Cemetery and take a series of pics

for us. We explained that our purpose was to enable

new, up-to-date images to be made from above each

Cemetery Section (Methodist, CE, Presbyterian, RC

& Lawn). This has now been done and new maps

produced, complete with the grave identification

number for each.

Other planned uses for the photos include draft-

ing of a new MCT letterhead, an updated Cemetery

Walk map and guide and mapping & interment rec-

ord materials for a Macarthur Cemetery Trust web-

site, which will be of significant value to visitors,

family history researchers and many others seeking

information about interments here.

For now, though, the attached photo, taken from

the eastern boundary and looking westwards, will

give Macarthur & District folk a new and interesting

perspective on our lovely little cemetery, previously

unseen from this new viewpoint. Readers should

also watch for other images from the series in future

editions of “Mac News”.

Macarthur Lions Club – September

Well winter is nearly over and spring is on the

way. Time to get into our gardens, so if you are

looking for a rose to plant, contact Treloar Roses in

Portland who have a “Lions Rose” for sale of which

$1.00 per rose goes to Lions Childhood Cancer

Research.

Our members are catering for Jack and Glenys

Sharrock’s clearing sale on Sunday 17th September,

come down to Bessiebelle, get yourself a bargain and

have a cuppa and something to eat.

Sunday 24th September from 9am-1pm is our

annual Market Day held in the hall and surrounds,

looking forward to seeing lots of people helping sup-

port your local Lions Club. Sites at $10.00 per table

are still available, contact 0427101559 to book in.

Our BBQ at this year’s market is supporting Lions

Childhood Cancer Research Biggest BBQ which is

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month Globally.

80,000 children have their lives cut short held every

year and the hope is to raise over $500,000.00.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness

Month

Globally, 80,000 children have their lives cut

short by cancer each year and more research is need-

ed to reduce this statistic. Cancer is the single great-

est cause of death from disease in Australian chil-

dren, with 1 in every 500 kids developing some type

of cancer before the age of 15. These frightening sta-

tistics are what motivate groups such as ALCCRF to

redouble their efforts every year to raise money to

support these children and their families through vital

research into cures for childhood cancers.

How did Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

start?

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month was first

declared by former US President Barack Obama in

2010. Since then, cancer organisations all around the

world have used this awareness month to put the

spotlight on children's cancer and highlight the need

for improved diagnosis, treatment and outcomes.

Every year in September, charities around the globe

honour Childhood Cancer Awareness Month to raise

awareness and critical funds for childhood cancer. In

the US, these groups include the American Child-

hood Cancer Organisation and the American Chil-

dren’s Cancer Foundation, while here in Australia

participants include ALCCRF and many other

Organisations including The Zero Childhood Cancer

Program an initiative of Sydney Children’s Hospital,

Kids Cancer Centre and the Children’s Cancer Insti-

tute of Australia

What is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month?

The objective of Childhood Cancer Awareness

Month is to raise awareness of the types of cancers

that primarily affect children, as well as to help raise

funds for research and family support. The Gold Rib-

bon is the international awareness symbol of child-

hood cancer and merchandise created for the event

typically includes the colour gold. Events and activi-

ties held during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

vary widely between countries and organisations, but

whether it’s a high-profile lecture tour or a backyard

barbecue for a gold coin donation, all have the

common goal of raising awareness and funds.

How can you get involved?

The best way you can contribute on a local level

during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is to

make some kind of a donation. This could include: •

a cash donation to Australian Lions Childhood

Cancer Research Foundation • A donation of your

time to raise funds - You could rattle a tin, help at an

event, hold an event of your own.
