Welcome to our Website
Waitangirua is a suburb of Porirua, a bustling cosmopolitan city of 50,000 people situated 15 kms north of New Zealand's capital city of Wellington.
The Waitangirua Lions Club is part of the Lions New Zealand (Multiple District 202N) which is a proud member of Lions International founded in the US in 1917.
At our new website you can find out what we do, in the "about us" section, along with who we are. You are also most welcome to contact or join us to become involved in activities. We also update our current projects and events so you can get an idea of what we are involved in.
Our motto is simple -
We Serve.
Our emphasis is on community service in all forms. Lions programmes serve the young and the aged, the disabled and the disadvantaged - anybody who has a need. Programmes are conducted locally, nationally and internationally.
They include sight conservation and work with the blind, citizenship services, hearing and speech action, programmes with the deaf, drug education, environmental, recreational, health and social services.
We look forward to hearing from you and you joining us in the wide range of activities that
Lions New Zealand, and our Lions club here in Waitangirua, is involved in.
