A new Lions Club is looking to make a difference in the community.
The New Generations Lions Club, which sits at 55 members currently, is a separate entity from the Yorkton Lions Club but has many of the same goals.
ÌýAaron Nagy, the president of the New Generation Lions Club, said that in the future, their goal is to work together with the Yorkton Lions Club, but explained the difference between the two.
"We are a younger branch of the Lions Club. We do public service in the community, and we are looking for me members and trying to make a difference for Yorkton, raise some money, and do some good things," Nagy said.
He said that he created the club after he felt there was a need in the community for another club.
"At one time, Yorkton had three Lions Clubs, so I figured I would start a new one," he said. "Get some younger people involved. A lot of people don't know what they can do to help the community or where to even begin, and it is nice to see that this is being taken so well in the community."
The club's first event will be hosting a bottle drive and a steak night fundraiser on June 26. The fundraiser will be held at Tapp's in Yorkton at 5:00 pm, with the bottle drive happening earlier in the day with more details to come.
"The money raised will help a local gentleman who needs help with corrective eyewear," Nagy said.
