This Saturday 13 June 2020, our Mascot will appear at the Powerhouse Market at New Farm to meeting everyone and look for a name (if weather permits)....

03.01.2022 The family is a nucleus around which most communities are built. The next generations ability to thrive is closely tied to the supports of the local community. Lions and Leos have seen and felt the effects of cancer on children and their families, and continue to bring hope through tangible service and support.

03.01.2022 For the month of July, our club members recorded the number of kilometres that they walked, jogged or cycled for Lions Australia's "Lap the Map for Diabetes" project.

Our club's total distance exercised for July was 2,180 kms! That's (approximately) equivalent to the distance from... Brisbane to Coen in Far North Queensland! Great work everyone!
