Free Press Staff Photo Lions hope to start new club at Brookîin founding meeting Jan. 15 Always looking to ex- pand the sphere of their community service work, the Lions Club is holding a founding meeting in Brooklin January 15 with the hope of starting up a chartered Lions Club in the community. The meeting will be hosted by the Whitby Lions who feel the time is right for Brooklin to form its own Lions organization. There are presently several Brooklin residents who belong to the Whitby club and according to 18 East Lions Zone chair- man Alex Pollock, Brooklin is big enough that it may be able to sustain its own club. "IIe thought we'd put out feelers anyway,' said Mr. Pollock last week. "It's six or seven miles to drive down here and in the winter that's a bit of a drive there and back. Vie thought it would be nice if there were a few fellas up there who'd like to form their own club. "Vie want to broaden the horrizon of the Lions. The more people we have. involved in community work the better our communities are fori. Mr. Pollock said Brooklin already has a strong Kinsmen Club but because it is char- tered as a club for men under 40 years of age he believes the two service clubs could co-exist and infact compliment each other in their com- munity projects. Infact, there is alrnost no community too small to host a service club of its own if the en- thusiasm is there, ac- cording to Mr. Pollock who cited a recently chartered Lions Club in Fowlers Corners which has 'a population of ap- proximately 300 and a Lions membership of over 40. If the organization can drum up 15 to 20 men who are interested in belonging to the club, Mr. Pollock believes that number will be suf- ficient to guarantee Brooklin its own char- ter. The Lions sent out a door-to-door mailing in Brooklin and Ashburn to notify residents of the founding meeting and, although they. are hoping for a good tur- nout, Mr. Pollock said they will only need a few enthusîastic promoters to get thlngs rolling. "If we can get four or five fellas at the meeting who are really interested then the Whitby club will work with them. to help get it going. It might take six or seven months after the meeting to bring in enough members," said Mr. Pollock. once the group has received it's charter, Mr. Pollock said the Whtby Lions would con- tinue to assist the organization over the course of its first year. Lions clubs the world over observe pretty much the same meeting format and service ob- jectives according to See page 9 Amplica. The world of satellite TV at your finger tips.
