Welcome

Welcome to the NEW Website of the Hanover Lions Club.

The Hanover Lions Club was chartered in November 2008. Although we are a relatively new Lions Club, in our first year we have greatly enjoyed serving our community in a wide variety of ways at a number of different events. Presently we have 45 members. We are proud of the diversity of our group in age, occupation and gender, with as many female members as male.

In 2010 we will be at work again, repeating many of the sucessful events in which we were involved last year. Plans are already underway for Ribfest on July 24, 2010 at the Sights and Sounds festival, and the October Blast Elmination Draw and Dance featuring Oscar's Strut on October 2, 2010.

A new endeavour will be the hosting of the first major event to be held in the new Hanover Regional Recreation Complex. A Moment Frozen in Time on September 11, 2010. Stay tuned for more details of what we expect will be a spectacular evening of celebration honouring all the wonderful people who helped to turn the dream of this new facility into a reality. There will be a Gourmet Dinner, a Silent Auction, and dancing to the music of Lulu's Roadhouse Band. 100% of the net proceeds of this event will be donated to the town's building fund for the new complex.

Please feel free to browse the information in this website to learn more about our club and the work of Lions Clubs internationally. You will find links to the Lions International website and many other resources for learning about and appreciating the reasons we have are so excited to be serving our community as Lions' Club members.

LCIF Responds to Haiti Earthquake

A powerful 7.0 earthquake ravished the island nation of Haiti on the evening of Tuesday, January 12. Much of the capital city of Port-au-Prince has been destroyed. It's estimated that 3 million people, nearly one-third of the country's population, has been affected by the earthquake. The casualty numbers are not known at this time, but significant loss of life is feared. Rescue efforts remain ongoing at this time.

LCIF is responding to the Haiti earthquake. We are in contact with Lions leadership in the area to assess the situation and determine immediate relief needs. A US$50,000 Major Catastrophe Grant has already been awarded to support immediate disaster relief efforts.

When catastrophes occur, LCIF and Lions answer the call for help. I have seen first hand the impact large-scale devastation has on communities. Homes, schools, hospitals are destroyed and lives are often lost. Through our efforts, we are able to bring hope and healing, even if it's just a little bit, to people who are in such desperate need.
