Lions International Stamp Club

Members can participate in activities such as Stamp Exchange and Used Stamp Collection Programs for charitable and community service, New Issue Services or just the collection of Stamps and First day Covers which bear the Lions emblem.

The Australian Chapter of Lions International Stamp Club (LISC) issues a cachet at each Australian (MD201) convention, with stamps usually cancelled with an official Australia Post cancellation. The LISC was formed at the International Convention in Atlantic City in 1951 by dedicated Lions with a common bond of Lionism and Philately.

Some of the current service projects are Stamps for the Wounded Program (USA), Lions Childrens Mobility Foundation (Australia), Lions Schools Projects in South Africa, Australia, Canada and Netherlands, Eye Camp Sponsorship and Special Olympics Sponsorship( U.K.Lions) and Catholic Mission at Burkina Faso( Italy Lions).

Membership is open to any Lion in good standing ,with Associate membership for any immediate family member of a Lion, Leo or Lioness.

The Australian Chapter is always seeking new and used postage stamps, philatelic material AND unwanted collections which are sorted and sold at auction with all proceeds donated to the Australian Lions Childrens Mobility Foundation. Please clip around the used stamps, leaving no less than 1/8″ and no more than 1/4″ around the stamp and send them to:
