Ocean Grove Barwon Heads Lions Club has inducted its newest member.
New president Alan Daw presented Lyn Jenkins with her membership certificate at Tuersday night’s meeting.
Lyn is a retired preschool worker and has had family members participate in Lions and has seen the benefits of being involved and is happy to give back to her community.
Lyn moved to Barwon Heads at the start of the pandemic from Eltham.
“I attended a few meetings to see if I was interested in joining, and I was impressed with the amount of community work and funds that they have raised money for,” she said.
“It’s a good way to make new friendships do some positive things for the community on many different levels.
“They support so many different things. To me it was a way of becoming part of the community.”
Lyn is also a member of Seachange Quilters, a group of women who make quilts for charity.
Lyn’s brother-in-law and late sister were actively involved in Lions and she saw first hand at how involved they were in the community.
“I enjoy the monthly meetings with guest speakers,” she said.
“It’s a great way of finding out new things happening in the community.”
Ocean Grove Barwon Heads Lions Club meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month.
Anyone interested in attending can call Alan on 0448-280 649 for more information.
