The History of Templemore Lions
Templemore Lions Club was formed in June of 1993 having
been sponsored by Thurles Lions Club. Our guiding Lion was Mr. Pat McCoole.
Pats enthusiasm, commitment, experience and knowledge assured the very
best start for the club. Pat later went on to become District Governor
for 105-I in 1995/96. The club quickly established itself and with an active
membership and excellent community support we were to serve and assist
needy of our community.
Our 1st your charter night held in the Templemore
Arms Hotel was a huge success and was attended by the District Governor
Mr. Dickey Vaughan. The membership presently stands at 29. We have a number
of fund raising events. The most established one being a "golf classic"
and an Annual Concert featuring well know Irish Entertainers. Our biggest
asset is the wonderful public support we enjoy throughout Templemore and
surrounding areas.
