Bellevue Area Centennial Lions Club

10/07/2026

New officers of the Bellevue Area Centennial Lions Club were installed Sunday evening, August 30.
The event, along with a picnic dinner, was held for members and guests at the Cole Park Pavilion, where The Cattleman’s Association grilled our burgers – Thanks Trenten!
And, even though the day brought a little mud and rain, a good time was had by all!
Past District Governors, Ann and Rick Baughmann, also attended the event, and Ann installed the club’s new officers.
New officers installed were: Kalyn Decker, Past President & LCIF Chairperson; Lori Heiar, Treasurer; Jennifer Smith, Secretary; Tony Hill, President; Joannie Kilburg, 2nd Vice President & Marketing; and Jeff Recker, 2nd year Director.
The Bellevue Area Lions meet the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m., beginning in October.
Their meetings are held at the Bellevue American Legion Hall on Market Street. If you are interested in becoming a member of this organization, or see what we’re all about, join us on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, talk to a Lions member, or message us on Facebook.
