Each Lions Club is responsible for it's own affairs and the projects it participates in, decided upon by the members know as Lions eg, Lion Bill.

Why am I a Lion
Recently, as a Lion and partner of the DGE 201Q3, I went to a Youth Insearch Camp at Lions Camp Duckadang
There I saw some wonderful counsellors trying to assist some very troubled young people.
They were backed up by some very dedicated Lions and volunteers providing the food and accommodation for these beautiful kids.
These kids have problems that we would not be able to survive, but they do – they are incredible as are their helpers.
I was so proud to be a Lion, and to stand behind our motto of ‘We Serve’,
Queensland Lions Clubs says thanks for donations
LAST week Nowra Lions Club held a short and sharp clothing drive to help flood victims in Queensland.

“We will never be able to fully express our thanks for what the Nowra Lions Club has done,” she said.
“What a wonderful effort – I was absolutely amazed.”
When Nowra Lions Club president Bob Wright first contacted Mrs Bates, he thought the club could send 100 cartons of clothes within a few days.
“Then when 280 cartons arrived I couldn’t believe it” Mrs Bates said.
