of the community and we are sincerely thankful to the Lions Club of Richmond for the many amazing projects they have been involved with throughout the Hawkesbury community .”

“ Lions clubs throughout Australia have celebrated the 75th Anniversary of service in Australia with commemorative gardens big and small . Our garden has been made even so much more special with the amount of support we received from the community ,” Scott commented .
“ We have planted a seed with this garden and it will be so enjoyable to watch the plants and community grow and enjoy the area together . I can ’ t thank Hawkesbury City Council enough for allowing us to have the garden in such an amazing location .”
Since the first club was formed in Lismore in 1947 , Lions Australia has grown to be Australia ’ s largest service club organisation with a strong history in community service and commitment to improving the lives of others .
