Milford Lions Club

 

 

When was the last time you did something for yourself? Something that made you feel like you’re making a difference? Volunteering your time not only helps those in need, but also gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment that comes from deep within. Nothing feels quite like that. Whenever a Lions club gets together, problems get smaller. And communities get better. Lions club members are men and women who strive to make a difference in their local community as well as communities worldwide. When the challenge arises, our answer is simple: We Serve. We are the youngest social service org but have grown to be the largest. Why? Because volunteerism is at the heart of our efforts. We help where help is needed – in our own communities and worldwide – with unmatched integrity and energy. We help provide funds and resources for many organizations and individuals. We believe that together, we can make the world a better place.

Will Joining the Milford Lions take time away from my family?

On the contrary, being a Lion enriches your family life. Maybe your spouse would be interested in joining the club with you. We have many couples as members. By volunteering, you are setting a wonderful, positive example for your children about the value of contributing your time to better your community. In many clubs, children are welcome at special club events and activities, and sharing the volunteer experience first-hand with your child will foster a life-long dedication to helping those in need. A Lion contributes what she or he can. Time commitments can range from as little as three hours a month to participating in every club function & event

What are the benefits of being a Milford Lion?

You are given the ability to grow personally and professionally by participating in our programs, community service projects and events. You develop relationships with both local and international community and business leaders. You have access to membership discounts and services. But more importantly, we have fun in the process and make friends along the way

You become a Lion by invitation. So contact The Milford Lions Club. We meet on the first Monday at The Bridgport Flyer 249 Bridgeport Ave  Milford and third Monday at Chip's Restaurant, 321 Boston Post Rd., Orange at 7:00 p.m.
