A big day yesterday (3 Oct 2026). The Rao family hosted a commemorative lunch after the passing of Gee Rao, the Founder of Monash Lions Club. It was lovely to see District Governor, Russell Edwards, and Past District Governors Keith Yates and Chandra Mangalore, at this lunch.

After which, two of our Club members set up a fundraising stall (to raise funds for the Nepal Disaster Appeal), that involved selling refreshments at the Music School student concert. Thank you very much to the lovely people at the music school for this opportunity.

Vale Dr. Guduru Narasimha Rao ('Gee').

It is with deep sadness that we announce that the founder of Monash Lions Club, Gee Rao, passed away on 21 September (aptly on the International Day of Peace). He was just shy of his 88th birthday.

Gee chartered Monash Lions Club on 22 December 2011. He was an active member in the Lions movement since the early 1970s, including serving as the President of the City of Melbourne Lions Club (our host club) in 1979.

Gee was a visionary, a go-getter with boundless energy and provided opportunities to countless number of people.

In the last few years of his life, he developed dementia. The family is therefore raising funds for Dementia Australia in his honour. https://fundraising.dementia.org.au/fundraisers/alokrao/in-memory-of-dr-guduru---gee---narasimha-rao

Sincere coldolonces to Gee's wife, Uma, (current member and ex-President of MLC) and his children - Anuja (Charter President), Alok (current Treasurer), Asok (current Secretary) and to the wider family members.

May Gee's legacy live on....

A big weekend for our Monash Lions Club.

We raised funds by offering refreshments at the Swara Sadhana school of carnatic music. Thank you to the school for having us there.

On Sunday morning, we got involved in the Lions Green Canopy Environment Project by planting native plants along Gardiner's Creek on National Tree Day. Thank you to Friends of Gardiner's Creek Valley for this opportunity.

Lions International Peace Poster Competition.

Monash Lions Club is supporting St Andrew's Primary School to enter into the international Lions Peace Poster competition.

It was just wonderful to speak with the Grade 5 and 6 students today about this activity. Many thanks to the school's art teacher and Principal for enthusiastically embracing this project.

Look out for further photos over the next few months with pictures of the students' artwork.

A couple of Monash Lions Club members marshalled at Run Melbourne today, braving the 6am freezing morning to be in our position in time before the runners started.

It was inspiring not only to see the fit runners on the track, but also those on manual wheelchairs and people with low vision participating as well as mums/dads running with their babies in prams. All aiming to raise funds for their favourite charities with intent and fun.

It was Melbourne showcasing positivity!
