In 1953… The first section of Honolulu’s seven-mile H-1 freeway opens, Hawaii’s 11th Territorial Governor was Samuel Wilder King, and on April 14, 1953, the Palolo Lions Club was organized with 32 members.
Our sponsor club was the Kaimuki Lions, with membership increasing and limited meeting space available it was decided to sponsor a new club to solve the space capacity problem.
Lion Clifford Nishina was our founding Club President and received our club’s charter from District Governor Masaru Kanemura at the District Convention in Wahiawa on June 20, 1953.
Can you imagine selling “Broomsticks”, “Newspaper Tubes”, We did! also known for selling Huli Huli Chicken and Sushi. The club also had a “Haunted House” up on Carlos Long Street during Halloween and a Carnival. Most recently the Palolo Lions sponsored a community event named “Palolo Pride”.
