Orangeville Lions in Action

Being involved in the Orangeville Lions Club gives our members the opportunity to be engaged in many activities.  These include business meetings, community service activities and of course the opportunity to have fun.  Please see the following pictures for a flavour of what it is like to be an active Orangeville Lion.
