Best wishes for 2022, as our Lions Club will still be there, thanks to the hard work and dedication of our members, and the support of the community1

In the last couple of months, our club has been busy!

• We helped Camcare in the collection of food and special items for those in need.
• We collected many books for "Read to Me 123"- to encourage reading for younger children who have little access to books
• We have collected many  reading glasses which are recycled for  those without means to buy glasses, here and overseas
• We helped sell Christmas trees and cakes to raise funds for community work
• We donated a Christmas tree and a little present for  those at Samarinda Aged care in Ashburton
• We smiled as we celebrated our 25th Anniversary this year!

We are the Lions

 

We serve the needs of our local communities, state, nation and the world.

Our 1.3 million men and women in 205 countries and geographic areas conduct vision and health screenings, build parks, support eye hospitals, award scholarships, assist youth, provide help in time of disaster and much more.

Join us in making our communities and the world better places to live.

Our Lions and LEO club members are people who care about people in their local community!

We do this in various ways: - community fundraising and giving grants of money to local community organisations and great causes!; donating our own time and skills; Community Engagement activities; LEO Club (Younger members)

The total of our efforts out-weighs that of the individual, and by doing things together, we share a common cause - that of a better and more tolerant and caring community.
