The Club was incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 as a not-for-profit organisation. The ABN number is 56 954 664 829. The Club is part of Lions District 201Q4, Zone 1.The LIONS Club of Buderim is a modern and pro-active Club which is progressive in its attitude whilst adhering to LIONS International guidelines, values and ethics. The Club in Buderim has its own Business Plan which is regularly updated to reflect contemporary attitudes, needs, and concerns of both the Club and the Community.Our Mission as the local Lions Club is to support financially or otherwise the disadvantaged and under-privileged, and those children and youths with special needs within its community. This mission is accomplished by maintaining a Club that is a committed team of volunteers who achieve high quality results, and by recognizing we must establish and implement strategies and activities that reflect the values and expectations of the community that we serve.Like all service clubs, we face challenges with changing community values. Often the community need is increasing whilst the number of members and volunteers is decreasing. Happily we seem to be overcoming the latter in Buderim. Our net membership is now 34 with younger members joining us, to help those of the old guard. Our target is to exceed 40 members. We have also enjoyed the assistance of many non-member volunteers on special projects. We call these people “Friends of Lions“.We raise substantial funds by traditional methods of BBQ’s, and selling Lions Mints and Cakes. We do this because it works and it can also be a lot of fun and camaraderie for members. We even made things easier by purchasing a purpose built BBQ trailer to reduce the workload and increase our efficiency (not to mention our ease and comfort ). This purchase was funded via a Government grant.
