A History of the Oxford Lions and Rotary Clubs

Additional Information

The Oxford Historical Society (OHS) is presenting “A History of the Oxford Lions and Rotary Clubs" on Tuesday October 3rd at 7PM at the community room of the Oxford Memorial Library. The event is free to attend.

Join us for a look back at how the selfless volunteers from these two organizations have improved our way of life over decades, from youth programs, education, health, parks, and a whole lot more. Representatives from both groups will be guest speakers sharing their important history of giving back to the community. To enrich the program, there will be photos and memorabilia displayed and members of the audience will be invited to share their recollections.

This program is sure to surprise younger Oxonians and others from the surrounding area, about the great improvements made in Oxford at least 50 years ago. Were there many volunteers and did everyone participate in one group or the other? What sort of fundraisers did they used to have and what big changes did they make? What are they doing for Oxford today? Answers to these questions and lots of great stories of cooperation, friendship and rewarding accomplishments will be shared!

If you ever considered joining the Oxford Lions or Rotary Clubs, don't miss this program. And, if you have memories about either of the clubs, you are especially invited as audience members are encouraged to share stories at the end. Questions and conversations will accompany the refreshments following the program. It will be an informing and inspirational evening.

The Oxford Memorial Library is located at 8 Fort Hill Park in Oxford.
