Read the full storyThe Ingham Lions Club was founded in December 1961, and chartered successfully in March 1962, providing over 50 years of dedicated volunteer work for the Ingham community.
The Ingham Lions Club are known in the area for their community service work, most recently they were approached by Our Lady of Lourdes Primary School Ingham to sell some hot chips for charity and President Colin Dallavanzi said it went extremely well.
“There was lots of people and kids there, it was good to hop in and sell chips,” said Colin.
“We can make some money out of it, and then we give it back to the community later.”
Colin said that the money they raise they donate to non-for-profit organisations but they have also recently donated to the local hospital, and Colin enjoys the feeling of giving back to the community.
“It’s a good feeling when these recipients receive that amount of money, or the funding to purchase what they need, or have been able to get funds to assist their non-for-profit organisation to continue.”
The Ingham Lions Club currently have 40 members and current President Colin Dallavanzi has been in his position for three terms now, but he says presidency is shared amongst members.
“We change over as much as possible to give everyone some experience in leadership,” said Colin.
“It can break down those barriers of the fear of talking in front of people.
“We don't personally teach public speaking as a course but you develop those skills through chairing a project, in becoming a secretary or treasurer or a president.”
The Ingham Lions Club is always on the lookout for more volunteers, if helping the community is something you find inspiring and want to be apart of, contact them, or chat with the friendly Lions at the next community event.
