The 2018 Badminton Tournament
To spend a Thanksgiving weekend with friends and families is a blessing, and to do so with a recreational and energetic activity doubles the joy!
Angus Glen Lions Club hosted a recreational Badminton Day last year. This time we challenged ourselves and our participants to a Badminton Tournament!
This fund-raising event was held on October, 8, 2018 at Ray Wong Badminton Club in Markham. Twelve teams participated with over 70 players from the novice to the seasoned. There was also a lucky draw and a 50-50 raffle.
Friends, families, volunteers and Lions were busy watching, cheering, socializing, and of course, competing in some friendly matches that built up quite an excitement as it entered into the Finals.
Needless to say, ALL were winners, as everyone had fun while supporting a community event for good causes. The support was such that the winner of the 50-50 draw donated back his monetary prize, and adding some ample funds raised, all of which would benefit our functions as We Serve our community.

Boston Pizza Celebrity Server Night
What better way to celebrate our very first anniversary with the very first fund raising event of the Club! It’s the Angus Glen Lions Club - Boston Pizza Celebrity Server Night Event, held at the Boston Pizza on 2910 Major Mackenzie Drive East, Markham, Wednesday, November 22, 2017, 6 pm to 10 pm.
This event involved Angus Glen Lions Club(AGLC) members volunteering as servers for the evening, and Boston Pizza donating 10% of all food sales to AGLC. We were all very excited to invite families, friends and supporters to come out for some food and fun, and all for the good cause of the community.

All Prizes were donated by Lion Eddy. There were a total of 8 prizes; those winners who had left before the draw would be contacted at a later date – so even ‘walk-in’ guests bought tickets with us – a win-win for all!
And to turn it up a notch, Lion Charles celebrated his birthday at the Event with literally everybody in the restaurant! Happy Birthday Lion Charles, Roar! Roar!
Club Uniform
Our very first Club Uniform was born, just in time, to greet the world! Thanks to Lion Gloria’s hard work + AGLC members modeling!
The Event was an instant success – the restaurant was running almost full house with approximately 200 guests. More importantly, everyone – guests, restaurant staff and owner, and AGLC Lions all had a fun and meaningful evening together! In appreciation for our guests’ support, the Fund Raising Team put together loot bags of goodies for everyone – such was the thoughtfulness in the planning!
