1st July 2021 – NZ is at Alert Level 1. A nation-wide vaccination programme is underway. Check the government Covid-19 site for more information and and updates.
What do we do?
• we help people in our community by giving our time and skills
• we raise money for worthy local causes and national charities
• we have fun and enjoy being together
Who are we?
We’re everyday people who like to help others. We give up our time and energy so we can make a positive difference in our community. We also fundraise for communities in need around the world.
Is it just a NZ thing?
The Rangiora Lions Club is one of thousands of Lions clubs worldwide.
Lions is the world’s largest volunteer service organisation with over 1.4 million people. Although we don’t know most of them, we get on pretty well with those we meet, achieve great things in our community and have a lot of fun doing it.
How does our community benefit?
Rangiora Lions directly help community groups and individuals in the North Cantebury area. Also, our community (and country) can benefit from humanitarian funding from the international Lions organisation. For instance, Lions gave over $1 million to help Christchurch rebuild after the city was rocked by earthquakes in 2010/11.
How do I join the Rangiora Lions Club?
If this looks and sounds like something you’d be into, have a look around the site and find out more.
Membership is by club member invite and you’d get a better idea if you took part in an activity or two before deciding.
