Green Fingers

Lions members hit the garden in the Summer Sun

Well done to our "green fingered" Lions led by Paula & Gerry who did great work last weekend to freshen up the gardens at a Lions Club supported property in Maynooth. The service users were all delighted with the work that was completed.

Intel Pride of Place Winner 2021

Fri, 25 Jun 2021 00:20:10 GMT

A big thank you to Intel Ireland for your generosity. We, at the Maynooth Kilcock Lions Club greatly appreciate your sizable donation of €1000, your time and commitment to local worthy causes.

Your continued support helps to further our mission through our local projects including our life saving defibrillators. Your understanding and help allows 24/7 access to our AED defibrillators and potentially saving someone’s life in our community. Having the funds to service them on an ongoing basis allows us to focus our ongoing efforts on our other local community projects like:

1. Trablogan Holiday Project, 30 senior citizens from North Kildare including Leixlip, Celbridge and Maynooth on a much needed holiday that they otherwise would not get.

2. Sheltered Housing Project in Maynooth, Celbridge and Clane.

3. Annual Christmas Food Appeal.

4. Annual Christmas Party at the Sheltered Housing Project.

5. Message in a bottle community health initiative.

6. Community Carer’s weekend when we provide respite for home carers and send them on a retreat break that support and relaxation.

In addition to the life saving potential of our project and your support, the publicity that will generate will help raise our profile which will assist in our goal of recruiting new active members and continue strong communities ties.

Thu, 24 Jun 2021 23:32:48 GMT

Stephen takes over at an exciting time for the Club.

New Maynooth Kilcock Lions Club President Stephen O' Neill received his chain of office from Scott Wallace last week.

"It's an absoulte honour and privilege to take over as president of Maynooth Kilcock Lions Club. I have met some great people in this club, especially Scott, who have been driving this club forward for the past number of years. One of the best things that ever happened to me was when Peter insisted that I come along to a meeting and check it out. I'm really looking forward to the year ahead and all the work we have to do".

Best of luck Stephen, we're all here to support you!

Lions Fundraising Breakfast

scottw@demesne-architects.ie (Scott Wallace) — Sun, 09 Sep 2018 15:43:40 GMT

Lions & Maynooth Parish Breakfast Fundraiser

Sunday morning 23rd September at 10:30am. Keep the date free. We are hosting a fundraiser breakfast in the Glenroyal in conjunction with the local Parish. The proceeds of our table sales will go towards our Sheltered Housing Project. It will be a great morning. €25 a ticket - great food and fun. For tickets or more information, please email Aidan Holton - aidan.holton@hotmail.com .

The idea for the event belongs to Padraig Fitzgerald, who sadly suddenly passed before it could be held. Padraig was a founding member of the club and was the main force behind the running of the sheltered housing project.

We sadly miss him as a friend and as a Lion and we look forward to honouring his memory with this fundraising event, that he would have so enjoyed.

Lions Annual Food Appeal - Dunnes Stores

Dunne’s Stores, Maynooth has confirmed that the Lions Christmas Food & Fuel Appeal can take place on Friday 7th & Saturday ‪8th December 2018 between 10am and 6pm in their Maynooth Store.

Your local Lions Club calls upon people residing in the north Kildare region to support the appeal at Dunne’s Stores over the two days for people in need in the local community over the festive season.

Lions members and helpers will be present with trollies to collect non-perishable food items and cash in secured collection buckets. So many people have come to rely on this important collection at this busy and very expensive time of year.

€15,000 euro for St Brigids Hospice

Thu, 31 May 2018 00:00:00 GMT

This is what the Lions club is all about. Raising money for the community with all funds going to our nominated charities . One of our goals was to raise €15,000 euro for St Brigids Hospice . We achieved it with your help .

Our President Ronan Twohig in the middle and our Secretary Scott Wallace on the left presenting the cheque . Thank you for all your help .

Lions spectacle recycling project

Tue, 29 May 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Are you involved in a sports club, work at a school , or in a group of any kind . Can you organize an eye glass collection ?

Be a leader and organize a collection of old eyeglasses and give the gift of sight to others . We will organize a drop off point or arrange to collect them for you.

In 1925 Helen Keller, a woman who had been blind and deaf since childhood, challenged Lions to become "Knights of the Blind" in a crusade against darkness. Lions accepted Helen’s challenge and there are now a number of programmes that Lions are involved with worldwide, particularly in third world countries.

Tips

Set a little goal ....20pairs , 100pairs whatever you think is realistic .
Set a time frame .
Let your selected group know what you are doing .
Allocate a drop off point or specific day to do a final count .

All you have to do is motivate your team , friends or family to donate. Let’s make June our active collection month.
