Lions Club dues are among the lowest for service organisations and costs vary from Lions Club to Lions Club.
However, 100% of money collected from the public must be returned to the public.

There are no set rule as to how much time should be given, members will be expected to attend as many regularly scheduled meetings as possible, at no time will you have to give more time than you can afford.

Our club meets once a month and elect officers annually. Many Clubs still hold Board of Directors' meetings which are held monthly to determine the course of club business. If a member chooses there is ample opportunity to attend various fundraising functions and social activities throughout the year.
