Our Club began working in the Rochedale Springwood area from the very early days of this emerging community settlement, being primarily responsible for the establishment of the Springwood Ambulance.   The 1st ambulance indeed, was provided from funds raised by the Rochedale Springwood Lions Club.

We constructed two Bus Shelters along the highway opposite the old McDonalds outlet towards the Hyperdome, with another at the Pacific Highwayÿend of Vanessa Boulevard, Two others, one on either side of the road in front of the Springwood Hotel (Rochedale Rd), and another where the Roundabout is now located at Dennis Road on the Pacific Highway.

The cost of the Bus Shelters, built at these strategic locations in the developing Springwood area, was funded by countless hours of volunteer Community Service by the Club members, raising money in so many imaginative ways for two purposes.

• Firstly, to provide a much needed service for the increasing number of people moving to live in this suburban area rapidly growing in popularity.
• Secondly, by means of selling the advertising space on these shelters, raise funds to enable our Club to continue to provide for our Community as the need arose in a variety of ways.

For Volunteers to raise such Funds from our Community for Community Service Work, takes a huge amount of effort and dedication on the part of members, each of whom also having their own responsibilities to families and work places.

As our Club is dedicated to helping those in need, there is an endless list of the ways in which we have aided and assisted the people of the Community in need of our service. We have worked very hard indeed to raise funds in a variety of ways to enable us to achieve our much publicized purpose of, "giving freely of our time labour and means", in the pursuit of giving help and comfort to those of the Community who need this solace so much, in order to sustain their very existence.
