Oliver Lions/Lioness
35 Years

The Oliver Lions/Lioness just had their Installation of New Officers July 13, 2014 The Lions also celebrated the 35th year of serving the town of Oliver.
In the past 5 years the Lions/Lioness have donated $72,525.00 and put in 14,113 volunteer hours to accomplish this. Imagine what these Clubs could do if they actually had a home to work out of.
Yes we have been in Oliver 35 years and do not have a home. Service Clubs are non profit and any expenses has to come out of the members pockets, as all donations and fundraisers go to the Children, Youth and Community.

It has not been easy, as both Clubs are very small in numbers, together only 24 members, and because of age or physical problems not all can be working.
There are two things that we are asking of the Community, one is to try and get new & younger members to help us, being a volunteer is so rewarding and makes you feel good. Second is to try and get us a home to work out of. We have banners, awards, logos and paraphernalia that is put away in a closet that needs to be displayed. We just had our 35th anniversary and couldn’t even advertise it as we had no where to invite the community to celebrate with us.
What we need is something big enough for about 30 people, a kitchen and washroom. I have faith in our Town and community that we can make this happen.

Thank you from the Oliver Lions/Lioness
