Who are
the Lions Club of Winslow?
The Lions Club of Winslow was founded in
1982. Our 'Mother Club' was Lions Club of Buckingham and was formed due to
the interest of Winslow residents wishing to start their own 'local' Lions
Club.
Since then the club has grown to become
one of the larger clubs in the Lion Region. Currently over 40 members we
'Pride' ourselves in having a good time raising funds or actually carrying
out charitable duties in the local area. In our 2006/7 Lionistic Year (July
to July) we raised over £ 15,000. We split the funds raised between -
International, National and local charities (or individuals).
Ironically the original Mother Club of
Buckingham has been incorporated into our own due to falling numbers.
What is the Lions Club
International organisation all about?
Lions are members of Lions Clubs
International, a community service organisation dedicated to the idea that
the local community are in the best position to know who needs help and
why. Local Clubs are part of the world's largest such organisation, with
1.4 million members serving in more than 193 countries and areas.
The association is both non-political
and non-sectarian.
