FOR almost 50 years, Inglewood Lions Club has been a vital part of the local community.
Members have raised important funds for projects in the Inglewood district, investing in the future of towns and their residents.
That future focus is also shown with the awarding of annual scholarships at local primary schools.
“Lions is about serving the community and our members have always shown a strong commitment to embracing that ethos,” said president Eddie Sydor.
The Inglewood club is renowned for providing barbecues at events and gatherings across the district, from special functions to clearing sales, raising funds to continue its support of the community.
“In the last few months we have ran out of sausages and hamburgers at a clearing sale, catered for a farmer wellbeing evening presented by Loddon Plains Landcare Network and gave a group of visiting Karen refugees a taste of a traditional Aussie barbecue.”
Inglewood Lions Club is now calling on residents in the district to join and be part of its ongoing community effort.
“We’re a bit light on for numbers at the moment but we so many people moving into the area, we’re keen to involve them in our club and community,” Eddie said.
“It’s a great way to meet people and support the town.”
