Our club meets 2nd Thursdays of month at 7pm--The Colonial Restaurant on Galena Blvd. Lions are goups of service-minded men and women who are interested in improving
their communities. To be a Lion is to be an active volunteer, a member of a
respected organization, a leader in the community and a friend to people in need. What do Lions Clubs Do? Lions move to make a difference locally and globall

y. Lions are best known for their
efforts to eradicate preventable blindess but also participate in many other kinds
of projects, including assisting those in needs for example paying for the costs
of eye exams and prescription eyeglasses to kids in Aurora School Districts 129 &
131 as well as Montgomery and Life Ministries (Wayside Cross for Women) and
paying for hearing aids to those who can least afford it. Many other projects. Too many to list. Please contact us for more information and we'll continue to
post on this page. Please share our page and don't keep us a secret. Vision Statement
