Visting Lions please call ahead and come to one of our two dinner meetings held each month in Nelson's most historic hotel. We always enjoy meeting with visiting Lions. A letter will be given to you confirming your visitation to take back to your club. Please come and plan your make up meeting with us and let us help you maintain your 100% attendance. Visiting Lions are always welcome to join in any of our activities. However, if you are not able to come to a dinner meeting the President of the club or delegate would love to meet with you.
Lions is recruiting new members. Remember applicants can be both women and men over 18 years of age. No experience is necessary, as we will teach skills in volunteering and leadership. We need younger members to learn from those with more experience to keep up with the needs of the community. Many hands make for light work.
Lions are an international network of 1.3 million men and women in 205 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world.
