East Hamilton Lions Club

Priscilla Thatcher —

Our motto is “We Serve” Lions are ordinary men, women and young people from all walks of life. We are united in our desire to make a difference by contributing our personal time and talents to help other people. In New Zealand 9,500 members belong to 350 clubs.

We are community volunteers who roll up our sleeves to help in all kinds of ways. In terms of our contribution on projects, it is estimated Lions Clubs contribute more than $100 million each year for charitable organisations here and in the Pacific Islands. 

We are proud that every dollar raised from the public goes to the cause. We do not take a percentage of the money for our own purposes. This makes us distinctly different from other charities and fund raisers and entirely NFP. East Hamilton Lions Club has an annual book fair which raises money that goes back directly into our local community. If you are interested in helping us fulfil our pledge to serve the community in various ways, please give us a call. We are a small and friendly club who would like to have new members join us. It is not a lot of work when shared. We meet for a dinner meeting on the second Monday of the month and a business meeting on the fourth Monday.

If you are interested in joining us or require more information, please phone one of the contacts below. Also, feel free to come to a dinner meeting to meet with us. Glenys Morrow 021 141 5066 Maurice Roper 021 051 7412 Cheryl Blackburn 021 549 674
