2016 - A Big Year for Lions!
This year, the International organisation of Lions Clubs is celebrating its 100th anniversary. It has over 1.4 million members worldwide and local clubs can be found in over 200 countries in all the continents of the world. Lions Clubs are a charity which exists to ‘serve others’, whether through water projects in Africa, disaster relief in Nepal or supporting local groups and individuals. It is one of the few charities that does not spend a penny on administration - all the money collected goes straight to those in need.
During 2016, The Corby and District Lions Club is planning fund-raising events; amongst others, a race night, a Funday at East Carlton Park, collecting at local supermarkets and taking part in Corby Carnival. The monies raised will mostly go to local groups, such as helping with funding for children’s care at Christmas and a pensioners’ spring tea party.
Socially, the group is planning, again amongst other events, to enjoy a canal trip, a visit to Peterborough Dog Racing, a bar skittles night and a visit to an outdoor theatre. Corby and District Lions Club is a small group of only eleven at present and they are looking for new members to join them. The Club is open to anyone over 21, male or female, with the willingness to help those in need - but most importantly, to have fun and friendship whilst doing so.
