Large contingent of Australian Lions attending the International Convention
Nearly 1100 Australian Lions have now registered to attend our International Convention in Sydney…this is a great attendance and the number is still growing… What a spectacular sight it will be to see so many Australians marching down Macquarie Street in the International Parade.
It is not too late for any Australian Lions, Lionesses or Leos to join in and be a Volunteer. We want to make this a very special event for the Lions of the world and to share with them some true Australian Hospitality that our Lions family can give.
If you haven’t already become a Volunteer or are still thinking about it, click on the link below and go to the "Convention Volunteer’s Website" and register your interest.
Be part of the "biggest event" to be held in Sydney and enjoy meeting and helping other Lions to make this a truly memorable event...
See you in Sydney !!
