History of the Mayne Island Lions Club phone book

It Takes A Team

• Teams of Lions solicit advertising from businesses on Mayne Island, neighbouring Gulf Islands, and in Sidney and Victoria areas.  
• Other volunteers help with billing, maintaining a current customers database, proofreading and phone number verification, gathering artwork and photographs. 
•  Printing is done by Alea Print and Design, a Mayne Island company.  
• Mayne Island residents receive a complimentary copy in their Mayne Island mail box.

2014 Bob Knapman Honoured
DG Medwedrich honoured Bob Knapman for his work with the Mayne Island phone book project.  Thankfully other Lions have stepped up to take their turns at producing this telephone book.

Bob Knapman

The phone book raises funds through sales of advertising space. There is also an opportunity to donate a nominal sum ($10.00) for your copy.    

For the first 14 years, the Mayne Island Lions phone book, a major annual Lions fund raiser, was under the guidance of Lion Bob Knapman. 
​
​Each year a team is assembled to do the sales, marketing and production of the telephone book.  A prominent piece of art is chosen for the cover page.
