About Us
Lions Clubs are part of community life, in the cities and in the country.
Clubs are easily identified by their distinctive Logo, the trademark of our International Association, and the 'We Serve'; motto.
Lions Australia is part of an international association, filled with people who are joined by the common desire to make their communities better,
by using their creativity, enthusiasm and energy.
Membership is open to all people of the community, over the age of 18 years, and in good standing.
Sandringham Lions Club is a very active club that has 14 active members. You can also be a Friend of Sandy Lions and help out occasionally.
For information about joining Sandringham Lions or becoming a Volunteer Friend of Sandy Lions call President Lee Murray on 0407 388 055 or email sandylionsclub@gmail.com

AUSTRALIAN LIONS HEARING DOGS have produced a lovely 2021 calendar with a different dog for each month. It would have been hard to choose only 12 dogs from the number ALHD have trained and delivered in the past year. Just $10 each, all proceeds support the training and delivery of each Hearing Assistance Dog. If you would like to purchase, please contact sandylionsclub@gmail.com or go to: https://lionshearingdogs.com.au/shop/2020-calendar

Sandringham Lions Club has been successful in receiving a grant from Bayside Council to launch a positive ageing digital storytelling project (PADSIP) at a local school in 2019. This program involves the making of a life story through the collaboration between older adults and younger students and is based on existing successful programs being run at other schools including Auburn and Camberwell ...High.
If you know an older adult who would be interested in participating in the program and sharing their life story or if you want to volunteer to help coordinate the program (transporting participants to the school, organising the presentation night etc) then please email: sandylionsclub@gmail.com

This is going to be an amazing community program and we can’t wait to get started!
