Lions On Safari: A Journey Of Service And Impact In Our Community

Lions across Australia are going on safari this March—but instead of spotting wildlife, they’ll be shining a spotlight on the incredible work volunteers are having in the community.

Lions on Safari Month is a celebration of community service, showcasing the vast and diverse ways Lions make a difference every day—from protecting the environment and providing disaster relief to funding medical research and championing a range of humanitarian causes.

Local Lions Club of Young Inc. is working at Bunnings, Farmers Market, Trotting & Lions Community Market BBQ during March to highlight the impact of Lions in the Young community.

Local Lions Club President David Tame says he is excited to celebrate Lions on Safari Month with the local Young community.

“Lions Club of Young is enthusiastic to be hosting these functions this month in celebration of Lions on Safari Month.”

“Lions has been operating in Young since 1959, having made a big difference to many lives over this time.”

“It’s been a big year for us at Lions, activities range from BBQ’s, Lions Children’s Eye Screening, Quilt Show, Childhood Cancer afternoon tea, Youth of the Year Public Speaking, Junior Public Speaking, Lions Lookout refurbishment, Peace Poster, Diabetes awareness and research, Link with A Lion project, Christmas Cakes, Mints and Mini Lotto.”

“This would not have been possible without the incredible hard work and dedication from Lions volunteers and support from the local community.”

“We thank everyone for their support and encourage residents to come along to our events,” said David.

Since the first club was formed in Australia over 75 years ago Lions has grown dramatically in size and impact with over 1300 clubs and 25,000 members now giving back through an array of communitybased programs and initiatives.
