Lions Australia 75th anniversary


Lions Australia 75th anniversary

Mr ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (12:56): I congratulate Lions Australia on its 75th anniversary in Australia. In Victoria there are more than 6000 Lions—and I am proud to be one of them—across 323 clubs. In the last financial year alone Lions in Victoria have contributed 261 649 volunteer hours and have raised more than $3.6 million. Since the first Lions club was formed in Lismore, New South Wales, in September 1947, Lions Australia has grown to be Australia’s largest service club organisation. For 75 years Lions Australia has served with uncommon kindness, putting the needs of our neighbours, our communities and our country first. Congratulations.
