LONG-TIME Lions member Jeff
Needam has become the first person
from Collie to be inducted into the
Lions Hall of Fame.
He was inducted with three other
Lions on November 6 at a dinner in
Perth.
Mr Needham, who has been part
of the club for 43 years, said he was
humbled by the award.
“I was surprised to be nominated,
let alone inducted,” he said.
“It’s nice to have you efforts
recognised, but we don’t do these
things for the accolades.”
The dinner and ceremony was
attended by 12 members of the
Collie Lions Club and also Mr
Needham’s family which reflected
how respected he is by the club and
Collie community.
“I was delighted with the support
from Collie people on the night,” he
said.
“It was like a family celebration.
“When you’ve been in Lions a
long time, you get to know a lot of
people.
“I would like to thank the club
and the people I have volunteered
with. All of our work is achieved
through teamwork.
“It doesn’t matter what level you
are working at, you’re all important.
“It has been a journey of great
enjoyment.”
Collie Lions Club president
Brian Harrison said the induction
was a reflection on Mr Needham’s
dedication and longevity.
“Jeff is a living library when it
comes to Lions history, constitution,
bylaws, general advice or anything
lions,” he said.
“He joined Lions in 1972 and has
been a stalwart of the Collie club, is

IN partnership with the Local Drug
Action Group (LDAG), Collie
PCYC recently held an afternoon
workshop for the original participants of the Project Bike Builders
program, which concluded earlier
this year.
The successful six week Project
Bike Builders program initiated by
Collie PCYC provided an opportunity for children to learn how to build
something from start to finish and
take responsibility for their projects.
Participants had their bikes safety
checked and could buy additional
parts if needed.
Several members of the Collie
Police also stopped by. The police
played a big part in obtaining bikes
It’s recommended that a child sees a fully qualified dentist in a
dental practice setting for regular dental check-ups just like adults
do. Not only do they need to have their teeth and gums checked,
but they also need their growth monitored in order to assess if
orthodontic treatment is required and intervene at the right time
to minimise long term damage.
A child should see a dentist, accompanied by a parent, by the time
they are 12 months old. This will make the experience fun and
instils lifelong good habits.
By the age of four, the child needs to see a dentist every six
months where the dentist will need to take regular x-rays in order
to check for cavities between the teeth. A dentist doing a check-up
without x-rays, is like a diver going under the sea blind.
After School, Saturdays or School Holidays are the perfect time to
book your child in to have their regular check-up.
Some Private Health Funds have a yearly amount that is gap free
which can be used towards your child’s treatment. This can also
be put towards things like mouth-guards and most other dental
treatment.
Under the Child Medicare Benefit Scheme, your child may be
eligible for up to $1000 worth of work that can be completed over
2 years. (Conditions apply)
Your child should get used to coming in for their six monthly visits
to the Dental Surgery. This will help them in the future, with any
other treatment that they may need.
Our Dentists enjoy having children as patients and endeavour
to make the experience pleasant, as well as teach the children
how to floss brush and have a good diet conducive to long term
wellbeing.
To make an appointment, call our friendly staff on 9731 1438.
Proud: Jeff Needham with the other inductees.
