The Mackay North Lions Club, which was chartered on 30 June 1980, has been very active over the years. As a result of its community service work, the club has received numerous district and international awards including Best Bulletin and Sight Awards and has regularly been in the top ten clubs in the district.
In 2005 the club celebrated 25 years of service to the Mackay community.
As well as initiating a district project, Global Walk for Breast Cancer, the club has been active in five major areas including health, youth, community service, environment and fundraising.
The club is part of one of the twenty districts which form the Lions Australia Multiple District 201. This huge district encompasses all of Australia as well as Papua-New Guinea, East Timor and Norfolk Island.
