President of Mallacoota Lions Club Max Donovan handed over a cheque for a further $1000 to go towards construction of stage 2 of the facility adjacent to the South East Regional Hospital at Bega.

Mr Donovan said it was a pleasure to be supporting such a facility as there have been several residents from his home town who have had to utilise some of the units in recent times.

This donation comes on top of over $90,000 that Lions Clubs have committed to the facility in addition to the $124,000 that was raised from Lions Clubs International Foundation.

Stage 2 is well on its way to completion in August with the kitchen to go in later this year.
