About our Club - Lions Club of SJ

Lionhearted Legacy

We’re is a family of big-hearted folks who love to help. Our club is all about sharing smiles and lending hands as we tackle problems like hunger and help the young in our schools.

By supporting local community groups, as well as our seniors, we make our region shine. Together, weʼre making a difference, one roar at a time!

Join the pride, let’s serve and thrive!

When you join our club you join an organisation of like-minded folks

Act on your kindness – effective projects require careful planning. So if you’re a successful organiser, we’re always on the lookout for you.

Be part of something big – Lions are a big family, a really enormous family. To explain, we are 1.4 million men and women in 48,000 clubs in virtually every country on earth. So by changing local communities club by club, together, we are contributing to a better world.

There’s nothing like being a Lion. We make a difference in our communities and in the lives of the people we serve. Even though Lions spend most of their time giving, we get so much in return. These are some of the great benefits of being a Lion: –

The fun and fellowship – Service isn’t just meaningful, it’s also fun. We build new friendships in our clubs and new connections in our communities. We laugh, we bond. Above all, we serve and do so with a smile and an open heart.

Opportunities to lead – Lions are leaders in their community, organising projects that meet real needs. You have the opportunity to become a club officer, puting your leadership skills to work for your club.

What are some other benefits of becoming a Lion?

You get when you give – Did you know that helping others actually helps you? A recent article in Psychology Today states that, “Research has found many examples of how doing good, in ways big or small, not only feels good, but also does us good.” As can be seen, volunteering improves our happiness, sense of well-being and decreases symptoms of depression. In other words, giving is a win-win!

That ah-ha moment – Every Lion joins a club, but every member has a story about the moment they truly became a Lion. That day when you helped someone who had nowhere else to turn. The tears of joy and heartfelt thanks. A person’s hope that you restored through your kindness. – That’s why we’re Lions.

Fran's handy work, Ian's Cooking skills - and a bit of fun....

Our senior club member, Fran, put together a framework of badges that she has donated to the club.

Not to be outdone, club member Ian was asked to “cook up a storm”. He said he “couldn’t cook”, so was provided with a saucepan….
