Chippawa Lions Club 3.31

The Legacy of community service continues today. Our fundraisers generate money to help those in need. We also help people with special needs attend a camp so the family can enjoy a vacation. These camps include Camp Dorset (a dialysis camp), Camp Lake Joseph (a camp for the blind), Camp Trillium (a camp for people with cancer) and several others.
The Chippawa Lions also support Lion's Quest. This is a school-based life skills program for children from kindergarden to grade 12. There are a number of other services we have assisted over the years and they are to numerous to mention.
Our worlwide motto is "We Serve". This motto was selected in a worldwide contest. The club suggesting this motto was the Fonthill Lions Club. The members of the Chippawa Lions Club take this motto to heart. We encourage members to be service-minded. We are willing to help those less fortunate than ourselves and with no personal gain. We take an active interest in the welfare of our community.

Community service is the reason Lions exist, but fellowship is an important part of the Lions club also. Club members meet twice a month for dinner and to take care of the business of the club. Speakers are often invited to these meetings to keep the members informed of the needs of our community.
