The Minnamurra Lions Club has donated $10,000 towards the recovery of South Coast communities ravaged by bushfires.

President Ken Horspool said the money represented the largest single donation in the club’s 20-year history.

“The money will be dispersed directly to those most in need through the Lions District Disaster Fund,” he said.

Lions Distict 201 stretches from Kiama to the Victorian border and west to Canberra and covers almost all the areas severely impacted by the fires.
