The group gathered at the Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Club to reflect on their annual accomplishments with special guest, and host, award-winning entertainer Rodney Vincent.

The Katamatite Lions Club donated a substantial amount of funds to Muckatah Landcare Group, Katamatite Cricket and Football Clubs, Katamatite Kindergarten, Katamatite Primary School, Katamatite Historical Society and Museum and Katamatite Cemetery Trust.

Past District Governor Neil Stuart inducted three new members into the club and announced the new office bearers for the next 12 months.
