Lions International is the largest service organisation in the world - represented by over 1.4 million Lions from 185 Countries.  The organisation exists to serve the community and the world - and we  have fun in doing it.

Tokoroa is the main town of the South Waikato, near the centre of the North Island of New Zealand in the Lions District 202L and has 4 Lions Clubs.  This site is run by the City Lions and is about City Lions activities, but also contains contains details for the other 3 clubs in the town.

The City Lions is known for its involvement with Candy floss at local gala days and with firewood in various guises.  We collect, cut, split and deliver food to the elderly and infirm with the help of the Justice Department and wood suppliers such as CHH and the Council.

We also run a group within the club who make and design banners for other Lions Clubs trading as Lions Graphics. We are in fact the only organisation in NZ who are licenced to apply the Lions logo to items such as this.

Lions everywhere run two types of accounts.  One account is for administration (to run the club, pay international affiliation fees etc) and this is funded entirely from within the club membership.  A second account accepts money from the public and all of that is paid back to the public in the form of grants we may make or to fund any projects undertaken for public good.  Your contributions to our activities do not fund any part of our administration.  The public account is registered with the charities commission under the number CC 28627 and our accounts are visible there for you to check.
