Who We Are
OUR MISSION AND PURPOSE
The HELO Club is a welcoming social club and charitable organization dedicated to promoting fellowship among new and current residents and retirees of the Greater Lansing areas. Our activities help members become acquainted with each other and the area. In addition, our philanthropic efforts contribute to local non-profit, non-religious, non-political charities. The Club may undertake and complete one or more humanitarian or social welfare projects each year. At least ten percent (10%) of each member’s dues are specifically earmarked for charitable giving. HELO Club is a 501C3 organization.

Monthly Luncheons
HELO Club luncheons occur in the months of September and October and December through June. The luncheons are held at local restaurants and banquet venues. The luncheon agenda includes social time, the introduction of new members and guests, a presentation by a guest speaker or a professional entertainer, raffles for our sponsored charity and a member free lunch. Each luncheon concludes with club business and announcements. The luncheons are a great opportunity to connect with friends, meet new members and discover interesting lives and topics. Some luncheons are served with a fun theme!
Special Events
White Elephant Bingo
One of our crowd-pleasing charity fundraisers is White Elephant Bingo. Members gather in a local community room clutching their mysteriously wrapped white elephant treasurers. Our bingo caller, with her comedic flair, keeps everyone engaged as players eagerly try to win a quirky prize. A fun-filled afternoon, all for the love of our charity!
