Lions volunteers across Western Australia celebrated the 60th anniversary of Lions Clubs in the state with a special event held at Parliament House earlier this month.

Lions W2 District Governor Ted Watts says the event was a wonderful way to recognise the impact Lions have had and will continue to have in the community.

“Lions in Western Australia are commemorating two significant anniversaries this year. The 75 Year anniversary of Lions Australia and the 60th anniversary of Lions Clubs in Western Australia are both very exciting milestones for our organisation.”

“We were delighted to have the opportunity to celebrate at Parliament House. This was a wonderful opportunity to recognise the incredible impact our volunteers have made and will continue to make in the community.”

The City of Perth Lions Club also marked the anniversary by organising the Perth Council House to light up in Lions blue and gold colours.

It was quite a sight.

Congratulations to all Lions in Western Australia for 60 years of service!
