Descriptive Data

Archives IdentifierFL001Date Range1958-Circa 2010DescriptionThis is a series of Wellington Host Lions Club records. The Wellington Host Lions Club is a part of Lions Clubs International, a network of volunteers. The Wellington Host Lions Club has been operating since 1958.

Here is a list of some of their community based activities:
- Hosting a Magic Show annually for over 30 years which gives a free show for underprivileged children and with corporate sponsorship provides other charities much needed funds.
- Cooking at Ronald McDonald House for out of town families who have children in hospital.
- Outward Bound sponsorship for youth.
- Collecting reading glasses as part of the nationwide Lions project which sends unused glass to the Pacific Islands.
- Sponsoring Camp Quality for children suffering from cancer.
- Running the miniature railway train at Wellington Zoo.

Series includes: publications, minutes and correspondence; records of the Zoo train, which was run by the Lions Club at the Wellington Zoo; there are also records of the club's involvement with the campaign for Lloyd Morgan to become president of Lions Club international in the 1970s - which was achieved in 1979.

Lloyd Morgan was born in Wellington and helped found the Lower Hutt Lions club. He was the only person from Australasia to hold the International president position.MediumLoose papersSystem of ArrangementThere was not a clear system of arrangement, so the order is based largely on a rough subject grouping, date ranges, or the order that it had been boxed. Many of the records themselves are not in date order either.Collection TypeCommunity archives
