The Selwyn Lions Club is asking locals to help them so they can help St John fund a new ambulance for Rolleston.

Selwyn Lions Club first vice-president Alison Benefield said they are currently raising money for a new ambulance for the Rolleston St John.

“This is a Lions Clubs International Centennial Legacy Project being undertaken by the Zone 8 Lions Clubs of Selwyn, Ellesmere, Rolleston, Malvern, Christchurch Chinese and Halswell. 

“To assist with our fundraising, Selwyn Lions Club has been selected by Z Templeton to be one of the four groups being supported through Good in the Hood.

“That means Selwyn Lions Club will get a share of $4,000, but how much depends on how many votes we get.”

She said to vote for Selwyn Lions Club, all people need to do is buy something at Z Templeton during May and they will be given an orange token to put in the voting box at the service station.
