Expectations and commitments
Ipswich Lions Club understands the diverse commitments of its members. We encourage members to participate as their availability allows, with a shared understanding that family and work responsibilities come first. There are modest annual dues that contribute to club operations, training and insurance. It is important to note that 100 percent of funds raised through public donations and fundraising are directed back into community service projects.
​
We meet on the 1st & 3rd Mondays of the month for 6:30pm for a 7:00pm start. Our meetings are a time to come together and connect, plan our community activities, share knowledge and experience and most importantly, to have a good time.
