Gerringong Lions' youngest member, Lexi Hehir, organised Xmas in July for the club at Gerringong Rugby League Club.

It was a fun night with food catered for by The Blue Goose. The catering was very generous and there was food leftover that Ron Brett and Steve Pottie delivered to Care South CEO Tony Briggs, in Nowra the following day.

Following discussions with Matt Burke, manager of Kahn’s IGA in Gerringong, it was decided that The Lions would continue to cook the BBQ of sausage sandwiches that the IGA supplies free of charge for their customers and passers by, on the last Friday of each month.
