Join Our Club
I'll say it again.
Join our Club!
Why?
Because YOU could make the difference in somebody's life. Somebody . . . who lives in your community, somebody . . . who lives just down the street from you, somebody . . . who needs help but has slipped between the cracks of life.
It doesn't take a big commitment. Just a couple hours a week (it's not a career!).
Maybe you're already making a difference - on your own. Imagine if you could multiply your efforts by the size of this club.
Join us.
Make a difference.
The Richmond Lions Club, located in the greater Vancouver area of British Columbia in Canada, has been a charter club of Lions Clubs International since 1946.
The Lions motto is "We Serve", and our club has been serving many deserving causes in the Richmond community since our charter was established.
Fund Raisers
To raise money for the various causes we support the Richmond Lions club has several fundraisers that we participate in throughout the year. Here are three of our recent money raising outings.
Classic Car Cruise
The fourth annual cruise of classic and custom cars is hosted by the Steveston Merchants Association. The cruise will take place on Sunday December 4th for 15 minutes from 12:15 to 12:30. The cars will drive along every street in the Village at least twice. The cars will park for a two hour display from 12:30 – 2:30 at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and the Steveston Hotel and Buck & Ear Pub.
The car owners will bring toys or cash to donate to the Richmond Christmas Fund.
The Richmond Lions Club will provide canopies to cover the tables of donations and to sell their annual Christmas cakes. They will lead off the parade of special interest cars as they tour the historic scenic village of Steveston, BC.
The car cruise kicks off the Christmas season in Steveston along with Santa arriving by boat, the annual Old Fashioned Horse & Carriage rides, the Festival of Trees display inside the Cannery, and the bi-weekly Cannery Farmer’s Market.
Most of the special cars come from Richmond, while the rest will come from Surrey, Maple Ridge, Vancouver and Coquitlam. Half of the entries have entered a previous year, while the other half are here for the first time.
The first entry that came in was from Jordan & Carol McRae. They have the Christmas Spirit and dress up as elves from the North Pole. Their 1953 Ford F-100 is decked out with lights and giant candy canes.
Two members of the Richmond Street Rodders Club will bring two cars each. Bill Blackall will bring a rare 1968 Mercury Cyclone, that was entered last year, and also his newly completed 1938 Chev hot rod pickup. Doug Fraser will bring a beautiful Chev Nova and a fresh 1950 Ford. The Nova is outstanding. It is purple in colour with vibrant flames and a large blower sticking out of the hood.
Three Corvettes have entered and several convertibles as well. An outstanding new entry will be Bill Miloglav’s 1955 Cadillac Convertible. It is bright red in colour and has won numerous awards at various car shows during this past summer.
Car shows and car cruises are not as popular in the winter as they are in the summer. Classic car owners are making this date an exception because all the toys and donations are for children. All donations will go to the Richmond Christmas Fund, with staff on hand to receive them.
Due to the limited parking space available, the cruise and display area is limited to 75 vehicles.

Christmas Trees
Christmas Trees
For more than 35 years the Vancouver South Lions Club has sold Christmas trees. These days the trees are sold at the John Oliver high school on the corner of 41st Ave and Fraser St in Vancouver.
A number of our members were one time members of Vancouver South and still have ties with them. The Richmond Lions have participated in tree sales for many years.
