The Lions Club of Warrandyte was Chartered in October 1972 and maintains membership between 25 and 35 men and women of good
standing in the community. The club owns and operates the Lions Opportunity Shop located in the Warrandyte Community Centre where the
business had earlier been conducted from the old derelict site known as Getson Motors. Funds raised by the Opportunity Shop allow the
club to support many charitable causes, sponsor local community groups and national and international ventures.
