The Lions Club of Nannup roared into life in November 1982, and received its official Charter several months later. Its first President was Bill Dean, and the club began life with 34 members.
Two of those foundation members, - Jim Green and Jim Craigie - are still members of Nannup Lions and have remained the backbone of the club over the last 35 years. During this time the two Jims and their wives Isabelle and Di (both long time Lions)have been heavily involved in hundreds of community projects.
These have raised many thousands of dollars which have benefitted both the Nannup community and others affected by natural disasters such as bushfires.
For many years Nannup Lions have lead community fund raising for - and organisation of - health, sporting, cultural, and welfare support in Nannup and beyond. We remain devoted to Lions Objectives and Ethics, and urge any newcomers to our wonderful town to get involved as either Members or volunteers.
Kim Roycroft at Nannup Real Estate (0429 703521) is the Lions Membership Officer, and will invite you to attend one of our monthly dinners on a ‘no obligation, no charge’ basis. We just want to meet people looking for a fun way of meeting and helping the Nannup Community.
