Part 1: Close Up Radio Spotlights Robert Freidel of The Lions Club International

Mount Laurel, NJ – After 30 years of dedicating his life to building a successful general law practice, Attorney Freidel has a new mission—to get the word out about the Lions Club. "Being a member for 33 years, I have enjoyed every minute. The greatest reward is when we're out raising money and people share how the Lions helped them growing up. Through my membership, I have helped my community and made some very good friends along the way."

What makes the Lions Club so powerful is they pass along 100% of your donations to grants and programs. Attorney Freidel explains, "The Lions Club model is to finance clubs only from membership dues. We do not use donations to run our programs, we pay for that ourselves. This makes the Lions Club unique in the world of non-profits."

An international organization with over 1.4M members, Lions Club International currently has over 160 clubs in New Jersey. "These clubs have had direct positive impacts in our communities," explains Attorney Freidel.

With the Your Club Your Way Program, each club is member-driven. "Lions International does not tell members how to run their clubs. For about $115/year (each club has different fees), you can have a huge impact in your community and in the world while cultivating lifelong friendships," explains Attorney Freidel.

Can women join? "Of course, they can! Our current president, Dr. Patti Hill, has been a member for over 32 years!" shared Attorney Freidel.
