Lions Club of San Juan Island, WA The Lions Club of Friday Harbor is a community based organization dedicated to helping the people of our island, and the world.

In 1917, Melvin Jones, a 38-year-old Chicago business leader, told members of his local business club they should reach beyond business issues and address the betterment of their communities and the world. Jones' group, the Business Circle of Chicago, agreed. After contacting similar groups around the United States, an organizational meeting was held on June 7, 1917, in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The new group took the name of one of the invited groups, the "Association of Lions Clubs," and a national convention was held in Dallas, Texas, USA in October of that year. A constitution, by-laws, objects and a code of ethics were approved. Within three years, Lions became an international organization. Since then, we've earned high marks for both integrity and transparency. We're a well-run organization with a steady vision, a clear mission, and a long – and proud – history.

THANK YOU to everyone who came out for cold beverages and music at the San Juan County Fair's Lion's Beer Garden! Your support is sincerely appreciated. The Lions were the first service club on San Juan Island and the club continues to do good work in the community.

Come join us at our Tuesday noon meetings in the lower level of the Legion Building - go around the back of the building, through the gate to the meeting room. We'd love to have you join our team!

Come on down to the 2026 San Juan County Fair LIONS Beer Garden and enjoy entertainment on the Main Stage whilst sipping your favorite cold beverage! We're serving up 2 varieties of beer 🍺🍺, margaritas 🍹, red wine, white wine, and seltzers...and water, of course. Support the first service club on the island and keep it local!

DID YOU KNOW? We host a variety of fund raising events: the 4th of July Kielbasa Event, we are participant in Port of Friday Harbor Rock the Dock and rock & roll Regatta, the annual San Juan County Fair Beer Garden, & the San Juan Lions Shopping Spree.

The San Juan Lions Club collects over 1500 used eye glasses per year and arranges shipment to Lions International to clean and re-purpose in 3rd world countries. We also provide funds for our local underserved population for eye exams, high school college scholarships, and in 2019 purchased an Electric Nissan Leaf automobile for the 'Round Towner which services islanders without transportation.

San Juan Lions gather on Tuesdays at noon, at the American Legion downstairs. All are welcome.
