YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU - BECOME A LION
Do you think that there is something missing your life? - you live in this community which you clearly enjoy but you would like to input positively in a constructive and rewarding way... you would like to have fun working with like-minded men and women in helping charities, local groups and individuals who need your time and expertise. You would like to raise money for good causes in the Haywards Heth area. LOOK NO FURTHER - Become a member of Haywards Heath Lions as I did.
My membership began two years ago. My family have lived in Haywards Heath for some years and with my children now grown up, I wanted to involve myself in the community, make new friends and become part of an extensive national and multi-national organisation comprising 1.4 million Lions in 43,000 clubs and in 180 countries!!

The aim of a Lions Club is TO SERVE - simple words but full of meaning and purpose - both practically and through fund raising. We raise and spend funds to help people in need and help in so many different ways to make life for less priviledged people than ourselves a little bit more happier and contented than otherwise would be the case.
I became a Lion through a friend who had learned about 'Lions' through reading a leaflet given out by a member one evening at Haywards Heath Railway Station. We went along to a meeting and found the company cordial and convivial with the aims of Lions to be met in a productive and rewarding manner. Within an informal atmosphere we chatted to members and quickly realised that there was a posivitive and worthwhile job for even the newest member to do.

A club is principally split into sub-groups concerning themselves with fund-raising, fund spending, public relations, membership or welfare. There are also many social events held throughout the year for members and their families.

Membership is by invitation only with an informal induction. After a few visits we both decided to accept the invitation to join.
Club meetings are held on the first Monday of each month with a Dinner Evening held on the third Monday of each month - often with a guest speaker.

If you are looking for some worthwhile community involvement as well as having fun and making new friemds, this club is for you. I can thoroughly recommend it as a very rewarding and pleasurable activity. Why not give it a try and do what I did? So come along and see that we get up to. You could start by giving me a call and I would be happy to tell you more about Lions and what it can do for you as well as what you can do for the Club.
