MORE than 130 residents in St Arnaud put their health first recently as they lined up to get their skin checked.
Over the weekend of October 18 and 19, the Lions V District Skin Check and Awareness Unit was flat out doing exactly that.
Organised by the Lions Club of St Arnaud, the van provided a free skin checking service to local people, operated by fully trained, certificated and professionally supervised volunteers.
The Lions Club St Arnaud found that over the two days, 133 people had checks done and 31 of those were referred on for more attention.
They said four people had been screened in the last six months, 17 in the last six to 12 months, 50 in over a year and 62 had never had checks done.
Members said this showcased the importance of having these services in the region regularly.
