The Knowlton Lion’s Club is looking to bring new members and volunteers on board with the goal of continuing its service to the community and developing strong leadership for the future of the organization.

According to Bill Taylor, vice-president of the Knowlton Lion’s Club, membership numbers for the local branch are down this year to about half of what they have been in years past. The Club is now down to twenty members.

Highlighting some of the group’s main activities, including preparing Christmas food baskets for those in need and raising funds for a number of causes, Taylor emphasized that they require “all hands on deck” to be successful. 

Putting the loss of members down to age and people moving away from the area, the club is looking for its next generation of volunteers with hopes of offering more to the community and eventually having these individuals “take over the reins of the organization,” said Taylor.
