Club Activities Scheduled for 2009

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.

Monday Night Bingo! (Weekly)

Now with a guaranteed $1,000 Jackpot, our bingo takes place every Monday night at the Dr. Kinnaird Arena. The first game starts promptly at 7:15PM.

Lobsterfest 2009 (May 23)

A perennial favourite! 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 2009 (July 1)

Another favourite – 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!
