This October, we are proud to recognise five outstanding clubs in our District as they celebrate their Charter Anniversaries. From long-standing pillars of the community to our newer, specialised clubs, these organisations represent the heart and soul of Lions International’s mission.
Across these five clubs, we are celebrating a staggering 160 combined years of service to the community. This represents tens of thousands of volunteer hours, countless lives changed, and a relentless commitment to "We Serve."
Our Honoured Clubs
Lions Club of Nunawading – 67 Years A true cornerstone of our District, Nunawading has spent nearly seven decades fostering community spirit and providing vital support. Their longevity is a testament to the enduring power of Lionism in the eastern suburbs.
Melbourne Deaf and Hard of Hearing Lions Club – 48 Years Formerly known as the Chelsea Lions Club, this club has a rich history of nearly half a century. Now operating with a specialised focus, they continue to lead the way in inclusive service and advocacy for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.
Lions Club of Brighton Victoria – 27 Years For over a quarter of a century, Brighton has been a dedicated force for good. Their consistent presence and local projects have made a lasting mark on the bayside area.
Lions Club of Ashwood-Mount Waverley – 11 Years Now entering their second decade, Ashwood-Mt Waverley has quickly become an essential part of our District. Their energy and dedication to local causes showcase the impact a modern club can have.
Melbourne All-Abilities Lions Club – 7 Years The youngest of our October celebrants, this club has achieved incredible things in just seven years. As a leader in inclusive volunteering, they remind us that there are no barriers to making a difference.
A huge congratulations to the members, past and present, of these five clubs. Your dedication ensures that our District continues to thrive. Here’s to many more years of service!
