New - Saver Plus Back to School
What is Saver Plus?
Saver Plus is a program for people on lower incomes. It’s about bolstering their financial skills, so they can develop (and keep) good savings habits.
To help families start the year off a little easier, we are runnning a Back to School campaign to support parents to access an extra $500.
If parents commit to saving up to $50 a month for 10 months, ANZ will match it with up to $500. Participants can put that money towards education costs for themselves or their children.
And here are some school lunch box ideas...

Mooroopna Lions Club
What does the Mooroopna Lions Club do?
We’re a group of like-minded people who jump in when issues arise, to serve the needs of our local community.
* We help when there’s a natural disaster like the recent floods
* We help out at major events, providing BBQ’s etc
* We help community members in need
We’re looking for Lions Club VOLUNTEERS!
We understand it’s not easy for people to commit to becoming service club members due to the challenges of busy lives, SO we’re looking for people who can simply volunteer with us when they have the time.
What does being a Lions Club VOLUNTEER involve?
You will be placed on a Volunteer Register, which means:
You can choose to help out on an ad hoc or semi-regular basis
* You’ll only be called in emergency situations or when we need extra help.
* If you’re unavailable to help when you’re called, that’s okay.
* You don’t need to become a Lions Club member or attend meetings.
