The Lions Club of Taupō Pakeke might have an average age of 81, but the 31 community-minded men and women of this organisation are dedicated to the amazing efforts they carry out in the interests of the Taupō community.
Over recent months Pakeke Lions have not only provided funds for the visually impaired, fund relief disaster for neighbours Hawke’s Bay, but also for local youth, organisations with health needs, emergency services, and supported collections for major bodies.
A group has also worked regularly on a conservation project in conjunction with Waipahihi Primary School.
Members have worked hard and energetically to raise funds for the club to be able to assist the community of Taupō and for supporting the efforts of those following any national disaster.
Funding has been generated largely from a major raffle, and through assisting the Lakeland Lions Club with the operation of the Lakeland Lions train on the Tongariro South Domain.
