The Lions Club of Berowra Inc - " We Serve "
Lions have been a part of the Australian community since 1947 (and part of the Berowra community since 1973). Helping to serve the people without promise or want of reward. The silent workers, working for the greater good. Lions are people just like you!To join a Lions Club is by invitation, but applications are encouraged from all members of the community. Membership is open to men and women over the age of 18 years and of good moral character and reputation.
Although we are based in Berowra, we support and service the communities of Mt. Colah, Mt. Kuring-gai, Cowan, Brooklyn, Mooney Mooney, Cheero Point and the various Hawkesbury River settlements.
Come along to one of our Dinner Meetings as our guest, hear one of our Guest Speakers and meet the members of your community who are already in The Lions Club of Berowra.

You can drop off your old or unused mobile phones, batteries and accessories at the Op Shop for recycling. The Lions Club of Berowra Op Shop is an authorised Mobile Muster collection point.
Proceeds from shop sales are used to support numerous organisations contributing to the welfare of the Berowra District. We also support other charities and organisations that support the wider community.
The shop is staffed entirely by volunteers.
The Berowra District Hall (opened 1898) is a restored heritage hall available for concerts, parties, meetings, classes, etc.
The hall was restored and subsequently is managed and maintained by the Lions Club of Berowra on behalf of Hornsby Shire Council and the community.
For bookings, contact Richard Dutton Real Estate on 9456 1499 during business hours.
