Club added eight new members, most in District

The Westfield Lions Club’s recruiting efforts resulted in the Club adding eight new Lions during the 2022-2023 Lions year. That was the most new members added by any of the 34 clubs in District 25D.

Lions Ted Engelbrecht, Tammy Wilcox, and Dan Wilcox attended the District’s cabinet meeting on July 22 and accepted the award from District Governor Julia Kozicki of the Noblesville Lions Club. The Westfield Lions Club now stands at 63 members.

Once the Westfield Lions were able to move into their new clubhouse on 169th Street, they began working on strategies to grow the Club and improve their ability to serve the citizens of Westfield, Hamilton County, and around the state. Along with their plans to continue to grow the Club, the Westfield Lions are close to beginning the renovation work on their clubhouse so that the community will have another option for a gathering place. As they did with their previous clubhouse on Jersey Street, the Lions will rent the clubhouse out for various events and meetings – at a rental rate that more people can afford.

The Westfield Lions Club is looking for men and women who want to make a difference in Westfield. If you are interested in finding out more about the Club and how you can serve your community, go to WestfieldLions.org, or attend one of their meetings. The Club meets on the first and third Thursdays at 7 p.m. at the clubhouse located at 1031 E. 169th Street.
