WE ARE THE PROUD LIONS OF CUFFE PARADE
Our Club has completed 50 glorious years, having been started in the year 1974. The sponsoring Clubs were Lions Club of Chembur and Lions Club of Kalina through Lion Dr. D. B. Joshi and Lion Sohanlal Pandit.
For the last 50 years, our Club has been doing charitable and philanthropic projects in all social spheres and has provided benefits to a large section of society. All the Past Presidents were dedicated, devoted and sincere, and kept up the tradition of our Club, of inviting famous and important dignitaries to our club meetings, to give interesting speeches; and arranged for two interesting club meetings every month for the more than 42 members in our club. In addition the Board of Director's and Trustee’s meetings are held regularly. We also have projects conducted almost every month and our Club has achieved a premier position in District 3231-A1.
We have undertaken permanent, legacy projects too.
We also sponsored 2 new clubs and received several recognition awards. We have given our district 3231-A1 three District Governors.

Now something about Lions Clubs International
Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core belief - to serve their community.
Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.
Lions have a dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects - including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled, and focused programs for Youth development.
Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through our international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness.
Lions serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally, we offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest.
Our Leo Program provides the youth of the world with an opportunity for personal development through volunteering. There are approximately 144,000 Leos and 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries worldwide.
Lions serve Environment. And around the world, Lions demonstrate our commitment to the environment through Lions Green Team projects that protect the planet by cleaning the environment, planting trees, recycling and educating others.
Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than US$700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world. LCIF was also ranked the number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007 study by The Financial Times.
Lions help during disasters. Together, our Foundation and Lions are helping communities following natural disasters by providing for immediate needs such as food, water, clothing and medical supplies – and aiding in long-term reconstruction.
Lions are active. Our motto is "We Serve." Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities.
