Half a decade in service is a milestone the Lions Club of Mitchell\u2019s Plain will celebrate later this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officially launched on 6 October 2017, the club has continued the global legacy of charity and giving back to the community they serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bevil Lakay, chair of marketing and communication, says since inception, the club has seen a decline in member numbers as a result of various factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Lions Club of Mitchell\u2019s Plain was charted on 6 October 2017 with 49 members. We currently have 15 members,\u201d he says, adding that their newest member was inducted on Saturday 10 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lakay says before the Covid-19 pandemic started, the club mainly focused on hunger alleviation and diabetes awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince then, we have been concentrating on alleviating hunger in our communities. One of our signature projects is still to provide baby boxes to moms at the Midwife Obsterics Unit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese boxes include items for the baby and the mom,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\u201cFor our last fiscal year we were able to serve just over 24 000 members in the community with 291 service projects.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The club constantly accepts new members and is affiliated to the international Lions organisation along with many others in Cape Town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur five-year anniversary is really a big milestone for us as a Lions Club and we could not do it without the assistance of our sponsors, the community and our fellow Lions. We will be having a day of fellowship with our fellow Lions clubs throughout Cape Town to celebrate our anniversary at Wynberg Park on Saturday 8 October,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA big thank you to all those supporting us as a club, without your help we cannot help others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
