HoursServed launches automated service-hour tracking for Lions Clubs

By AI, Created 5:05 AM UTC, May 22, 2026, /AGP/ – Abacus Media has launched HoursServed.com, a cloud platform for Lions Clubs that automates attendance, RSVP collection, dues tracking and Lions Portal reporting. The Toronto-based service is aimed at cutting hours of manual work for club secretaries across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Australia and parts of Latin America.

Why it matters: - Lions Club secretaries often spend hours each month manually compiling attendance and service-hour records for MyLCI, the Lions Clubs International reporting system. - HoursServed.com is built to automate that reporting cycle and reduce administrative work for volunteer leaders. - The platform is designed to let club secretaries spend more time on service projects and less time reformatting spreadsheets.

What happened: - Abacus Media announced the public launch of HoursServed.com, a cloud-based administration platform built for Lions Clubs International clubs and districts. - The Toronto-based SaaS platform is available immediately in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. - Steve Wetmore, founder of HoursServed.com and a member of the Markham Lions Club in Ontario, said the platform is meant to replace three to four hours of monthly manual Portal preparation. - More information is available at the company’s announcement.

The details: - HoursServed automates member RSVP collection, meeting attendance tracking, service-hour logging, dues management and monthly Lions Portal CSV report generation. - The platform generates a submission-ready CSV from data collected throughout the month. - The RSVP workflow uses a single email with two response buttons, letting members confirm or decline attendance without creating an account or password. - Attendance is logged automatically and tied to the event record. - The platform also supports event creation, shift scheduling for fundraisers and service projects, dues requests, payment tracking, monthly report generation and Lions Portal CSV export. - District accounts include a dashboard showing reporting coverage, club setup status and officer work queues across all clubs in the district. - Club plans start at CAD $25 per month and include a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. - District plans supporting up to 35 clubs are available for as little as $6.60 per month per club, based on a 35-club annual plan. - A regional access program for Lions Clubs in Latin America offers the same core features at pricing designed for local budgets. - Regional pricing is available through dedicated Latin America pages in Spanish and English at hoursserved.com/es. - HoursServed is a product of Abacus Media, a Toronto, Ontario-based software company. - The platform is designed for Lions Clubs and other service organizations, including Rotary clubs, Kiwanis clubs, churches, community groups and parent councils. - HoursServed is not affiliated with or endorsed by Lions Clubs International.

Between the lines: - The launch targets a narrow operational pain point rather than a broad club-management market. - The no-login RSVP flow suggests the product is trying to reduce friction for volunteers, not just administrators. - District-level dashboards indicate the platform is built for both individual clubs and larger regional oversight.

What’s next: - HoursServed will likely expand by selling club and district subscriptions across supported regions. - Latin American clubs can request regional pricing through the platform’s localized pages. - The company is positioning the software for other membership-based service groups beyond Lions Clubs.

The bottom line: - HoursServed is pitching automation where Lions Clubs still rely on manual coordination, with reporting and attendance tools at the center of the offer.
