Mooloolaba Lions

We are a part of an international non political service organisation established just over 100 years ago. The first Australian club was chartered in 1947. The Lions Club of Mooloolaba was sponsored by the Lions Club of Buderim and chartered in 1975. Hence we share a significant portion of the history of this global group with a common focus on service to the community. Today our elected men and women leaders come from all over the world. There are currently 1.4 million Lions members in over 200 countries. The club’s inaugural president was Frank Brinkley. He served in the role for two terms. “Back in the day” Lions was an exclusive men’s group. From the outset the club attracted members keen to share in the variety of localised community projects. Records indicate that 40 plus members was the norm for decades. The Sunshine Coast was much more an insular tight knit parochial community during the early years of the club. Local festivals, social functions and events were common. The club played a lead role
