Verndale Lions Club

Verndale Lions Club The Verndale Lions are a group of service-minded men and women who are interested in doing volunteer work to improve the Verndale community. Lions give sight.

If you are interested in renting the community center, please call 612-328-3772. Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core belief - to serve their community. Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization. We have 1.35 million members in more than 45,000 clubs in more than 206 countries and geographic areas. Lions have a

dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects - including caring for the environment by picking up ditches, hosting benefits, aiding seniors and the disabled and providing college scholarships. The Verndale Lions work can be seen in the community - look at the playground in the Verndale Park, the lights on the football, and the dugouts for the varsity softball field. The Verndale Lions are also working on providing a map for the Verndale cemetery. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through our international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness. The Verndale Lions donated money to help raise a Can Do Canine puppy. The puppy is named Andy after the late long time Verndale Lions member Corky Anderson. If Andy successfully completes training, he will be given to an individual with a disability. Andy will be trained to assist with hearing, mobility, diabetes or autism assistance and seizure response. Lions serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally, we offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest. Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than $700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world. LCIF was also ranked the number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007 study by The Financial Times. Lions help during disasters. Together, our Foundation and Lions are helping communities following natural disasters by providing for immediate needs such as food, water, clothing and medical supplies – and aiding in long-term reconstruction. The Verndale Lions were able to immediately take actions when tornadoes hit Wadena County in 2010. Lions are active. Our motto is "We Serve." Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities.

In the middle of a winter weather warning we still served over 300 people breakfast on Saturday morning. We are grateful for the amazing support of our community. Thank you to Brambleberry Farms, Ernie's in Staples, Walmart in Baxter, Jon's Family Foods in Staples, and Super One in Wadena for their donations towards our breakfast. Also thank you to KLN for their delicious Wally Wallaby licorice donation for the egg hunt. The Verndale Lions were also assisted at the breakfast by the Cross Country Team. The Verndale Lions are proud to make a donation to the team for their help.

The Verndale Lions would like to give a shout out and thank you to the Verndale Girls Basketball team. These players and coaches showed up at 7am to help make the Egg Hunt a success in the middle of a snow storm. This would not have been possible without their help. They put out 1000s of eggs, organized and handed out prizes, and did so much more. The Lions are proud to donate $500 to the team for their help!
