Club Activities Scheduled for 2008

The members of the Lions Club of Russell are an active group. Not only do we organize a significant number of fundraising events each year, we're also active participants in our community, Russell Township.

This year's events are listed below. If you have questions about any of the events, just send us an email.

Bingo! (Held Weekly)

We run a bingo parlour every Monday night at the Dr. Kinnaird Arena. The first game starts promptly at 7:15PM. The public is invited.

House of Cards Tournament (March)

We haven't decided whether to continue our tradition of a euchre tournament or go for something new instead, namely...a poker tournament! Watch the local newspaper in March, or come back here, to find out what we decided on.

Lobsterfest 2008 (May 24)

A perennial favorite! Every year, the Club has its annual Lobsterfest, which is held on the last Saturday in May at the Russell Arena. Entertainment will be provided and, of course, there's the all-you-can-eat lobster and roast beef. Famous far and wide, the Lobsterfest sells out early – very early – so drop us an email to reserve your tickets.

Canada Day Celebrations 2008 (July 1)

Another favorite – small town Canada Day celebrations! A fun day for the whole family with great entertainment, kids games, fireworks, and more! See you at the Russell Lions Ball Park!

Food Drive 2008 (October)

Each October, we run the Russell Food Drive. Everyone can help by donating non-perishable food items. More details can be found here and in your local newspaper as we get closer to the actual date.

For more information about any of the above events, just send us an email.
