Hawkesbury City Council’s Mayoral Christmas Appeal Is Open

Hawkesbury City Council Mayor, Sarah McMahon had the honour of choosing the organisation that would partner with Council for this year’s Mayoral Christmas Appeal.

“I chose the Richmond Lions Club because they have really stepped up over the last couple of years,” Mayor McMahon said.

“They’ve been really active in the community.”

Mayor McMahon said that Richmond Lions Club had the network in place to know who would most benefit from the appeal.

“It’s exciting that Christmas is coming,” Mayor McMahon said.

“This is a time when we can bring joy to others, and with our local community having suffered so much during the multiple floods in the Hawkesbury, we have a lot of people who need our help.

“This is the first year that Richmond Lions has been the nominated charity for the Mayoral Christmas Appeal.

“I encourage you to donate an unwrapped gift to those less fortunate. “Richmond Lions has asked for gifts for men, women and children of alla ges.

“I hope the Mayoral Christmas Appeal brings plenty of Christmas joy to our community through giving and receiving.”

Richmond Lions President, Scott Hinks welcomed the club’s involvement in the 2022 Mayoral Appeal.

“Richmond Lions is pleased to continue to build its relationship with Counil, and we are honoured to be chosen by Mayor McMahon to assist those less fortunate than ourselves,” Mr Hinks said.
