site is intended to provide information to the general public as well as our
members. A Lions club is a group that comes together and shares a common
interest in community service. Our motto is "We serve." Membership is through invitation. To learn more about the Lions or to be considered for
membership, contact us. You'll be invited to
attend a meeting as a guest to learn more about the club and to meet its
members. For more information on Lions International, consult the official
