2021-2022 A Year in Review

During the 2021/2022  fiscal year, the Newmarket Lions Club continued to live up to our motto “We Serve”. The Club’s Santa Fund program continued to support families in need. Over 1000 people were provided with food vouchers to No Frills on Yonge St.  Our Coats for Kids program, in conjunction with the North Newmarket Lions Club,  provided over 300 winter coats to families in need. Meals were cooked for the Inn From The Cold shelter.  Our Catch the Ace lottery allowed us to provide financial support to Southlake Regional Hospital  for their new mental health program. 100 meal kits were donated  to the local Food Pantry. We cleaned up the community and planted trees. We were once again, able to hold our Effective Speaking Contest. Christmas treats were provided to Newmarket Residence.  Christmas gifts to Seniors in LTC homes. Toys and welcome packages were given to Southlake hospital. Eyeglasses were collected for recycling. Tablets were donated to the Southlake paediatric cancer unit. We provided lunch for John M Denison high school students at their Relay for Life event. Our first ever Blind/Low Vision Scholarship was presented in June! We welcomed new members and honoured a Club member for over 50 years of service!  And so much more! A great year!

The Newmarket Lions Club is a network of community minded volunteers. We provide financial assistance to individuals in need- such as help paying for prescription drugs, eye glasses, mobility aids, etc; we help out schools in need of funding for things like delousing, breakfast programs, end of year trips for students in need; and we run yearly programs for the betterment of the Newmarket Community.  The following are programs we run every year:

Coats for Kids

Vision Screening

Eyeglass Recycling

Effective Speaking

Reading Action

Message from our President 2021

The 2021-22 Lions year is a very special time for the members of our Club. We are celebrating 90 years of service to the residents of Newmarket. Many changes have taken place over those 90 years. From purchasing milk for school children and paying for hospital visits in 1931 to providing eye care, medical devices and other forms of support in 2021 to our residents the Lion’s Motto “We Serve” still stands.

This year the Newmarket Lions Club is looking forward to continuing many of our projects that were cancelled because of Covid-19. Projects such as eye screening for kindergarten age school children and our Lions Club Music Festival which has been a highlight for young musicians for the past 60 years.

To celebrate our special anniversary, we have made a commitment to design and build a special meeting place at Fairy Lake.

I would like to invite anyone 19 years of age or over to consider joining the Newmarket Lions Club and become a part of our wonderful story. You can contact us at: info@newmarketlionsclub.com
