Greenbank news

Congratulations to the 33 Greenbank and District Lions Club members for winning an award as the best overall club out of the 55 clubs in Durham, York, Haliburton, and the City of Kawartha Lakes.

This is an amazing achievement, considering all the wonderful community service done by all these Lion clubs. You may only know the Greenbank Lions for the lawn fertilizer they sell each spring and fall. These Lions are leaders in Free vision and hearing screening for young elementary school children, they support food banks, hospitals, schools, and programs which combat diabetes and childhood cancer. All the profits from their projects go back into the community. Each time there is a community disaster, Lions are locally at ground level to help out or add long-range support from their Lions Club International Foundation. Our motto is "We Serve." Consider joining a local club in your area. All men, women and high school students are welcome. The more members we have, the greater the service we can provide.
