Knitting and Crocheting Program 

Friday 09.30 to 11.00

Free

In this program, we create an opportunity to socialize while giving back to the community. We turn milk bags into market style bags and water resistant mats and we knit and crochet winter woolen hats and blankets. All the items are donated to the homeless or those at risk of homelessness.

And…if you want to learn to knit and/or crochet, we can help you with that too.

Luncheons and Christmas Dinner

Sitting down and sharing a meal with friends is an enjoyable way to start the afternoon.

Each spring, we have a ham and meatball dinner. In the summer we have a BBQ and in the fall we celebrate Oktoberfest. Each of these meals is held at noon and our members often bring a desert. The club charges $8 per member and it’s buffet style.

At Christmas, we celebrate with a lovely turkey dinner. You get a break on the price because the club pays the majority of the cost of the ticket. If that’s not enough to catch your attention, how about the fact that after dinner, we give away a lot of door prizes. It’s a lot of fun and we hope to see you there.

Community Support Updated (Feb 2025)

When we support our community, we help our neighbours, friends, families, and ourselves.

We support our community by:

  •  Turning milk bags into water-resistant mats, and we knit and crochet winter hats and blankets for people in need.
  • Advocating with town council on behalf of our members.
  • Sharing community news with our members.
  • Each November, donating a wreath to Local Branch 157 of the Royal Canadian Legion Fort Malden.
  • Collecting and donating old and unused prescription eye glasses on behalf of the Lyons Club. Lyons’ Club volunteer members sort, assess, repair, and ship them to people in need around the globe.
  • Supporting Amherstburg businesses by buying local.
  • Making charitable donations on behalf of our members. Most recently we donated to the Canadian Cancer Society, Transition to Betterness, and Windsor Hospice. In addition to the above donations, making monetary donation to a charitable organization on behalf of any member that passes away.
  • Each year we organize donations for the Amherstburg Community Services (ACS) local elementary school student lunch program. In 2024 we donated over $1650.00 for their lunch program.
  • Participating in the Town of Amherstburg’s Healthy and Active Senior Expo each June. This year we’ll be participating in the town’s accessiblity event.
  • Contributing to the Town’s Rivertown Light Festival to help off-set the cost of maintaining displays.
  • Donating money to the town’s Food and Fellow mission to help with their food bank.
