We meet the 1st Thursday of each month at the Freer Home located at 1260 Center St. For Information on becoming an Ashland Evening Lion, please contact Secretary PDG Myron Amstutz at [email protected]. Chartered August 8, 1963 with 23 members by the Ashland Noon Club, the Ashland Evening Lions Club serves through volunteer service activities, and fund-raising efforts on behalf of those less
fortunate than ourselves. Over the past 40 years, the Ashland Evening Lions Club has relied on many and varied fund-raising projects such as: Lions Mints sales, Geranium Sales, Lions Candy Day, Poinsettia Sales, Tent Rentals, Rest Area Coffee Breaks, Yesteryear Machinery Show, various raffles, and garage sales. The Ashland Evening Lions Club supports local and statewide youth related programs, designed to provide our young people with opportunities to serve, and the skills necessary to successfully navigate the challenges faced daily in their lives. Since 1925, eyesight programs have been a priority with Lions throughout the world. We are committed to totally eliminating curable blindness. In addition to our donations to international programs, the Ashland Evening Lions have a history of working with sight problems in the following areas: Central Ohio Lions Eye-bank, Ohio Lions Eye Research Foundation, transporting corneas to OSU Hospital in Columbus, Pilot Dogs Program, eye-related monetary assistance, eye-related transportation of patients, recycling used eye glasses, sight testing of Pre-school children, providing magnification devices to the visually impaired, providing magnification devices to the local library, providing canes to the blind, and raising money to purchase Helper Dogs. We have continued helping those less fortunate, giving back to our community and sharing a special friendship.
