Lions Club ready to welcome new members

The Sunbury Lions Club will be hosting an information session for new and prospective members.

Hosted by Lions Zone 3 chair Gerry Monaghan, in attendance will be Lions district governor Des Jones and Lions district membership team leader Barry McDonald.

Mr Monaghan said he has had a stall in Sunbury Square Shopping Centre and at Rosenthal Shopping Centre that has gained some interest, so now’s the right time to host an information session to get the Sunbury Lions Club back up and running.

“Anyone who’s interested in joining Lions or finding out more about Lions can come along,” he said.

Mr Monaghan has been trying to get the Sunbury club back up and running after it closed in 2023, with the club approaching the deadline to be reinstated by June 30 to reform.

He said joining the Lions will help you make worthwhile contributions to the community.

“Lions have a philosophy of serving the community and every community needs a Lions Club,” he said.

“Lions across Australia and across the world contribute substantially to their communities and there are areas that the government and other groups don’t service that Lions may be able to step in and assist.”

The information night will be happening at the Sunbury Social Club, 47 Riddell Road, Sunbury, from 7pm on Wednesday, May 21.

On the night, more information will be distributed and application forms for anyone wishing to sign up will be available.
