Cypress Creek Civitan Club
Cypress Creek Civitan Club was chartered in June 2009. It is in Area 5 of North Carolina District East of Civitan International. Area 5 is made up of eight clubs from Sanford to Rocky Mount.
​
The Club meets twice monthly: the first Monday at the Sheriff's substation in Bunn for the business meeting and the third Monday at the Lake Royale Club House. This meeting usually consists of a program of interest to the membership such as speakers from Civitan related organizations, and from other organizations in the community. We encourage non-member residents to attend our speaker meeting. The meeting time is 7:00pm and lasts approximately one hour. Members usually arrive early to set up the room and socialize.
