The Hammonton Lions hold two major fundraisers during the year: The Annual Great Cash Giveaway a.k.a. Gold Raffle held in December and the club's participation in the Red, White, and Blueberry Festival hel in July. Both events require a high degree of planning, organization and cooperation. A majority of the members participate in some way in both projects. The funds raised from these events provide the monies which the club donates to Lions and community projects. Promotion of Lions projects in the newspapers, online and other media is essential to their success. The publicity promotes the positive image of the- club and is a factor in attracting members who want to part of such an organization.

The club has a busy year which is designed to invigorate members not to overburden them. The club meets September to May, recessing for the summer months. Only one meeting is help during December and January. Both breaks give members more time be with their families, do other things and also to refresh themselves for upcoming club activities.

With all this activity, the Hammonton Lions easily assimilates new members. They are encouraged to participate in projects but never coerced and never, never named chairman of a major project unless they volunteer. However, members know that when they take on the responsibility of a project that the club will totally support them.
