Hanna Lions Club

The Hanna Lions Club is a long-standing tradition in the Hanna Community. In fact for over 60 years the Hanna Lions have carried on the motto of Lions International: “We Serve”. We are proud of our many accomplishments both in this community and around the world. We would like to do even more to serve this area, but we need your help.

Basic Information

The Hanna Lions meet the third Tuesday of each month, alternating between the Davis Wesleyan Church and Rumors. Attendance is encouraged, but not required. Membership dues are $35 each 6 months, or $70 per year, which includes membership in the District and International Lions. Most meetings include a meal costing from $7-$9. Some meetings have educational or entertaining programs. Both men and women are welcome as members. Family membership is also available. We encourage members to do some kind of club or community project at least once each month.

We’d like to invite you to be a guest at a future meeting. For more information contact Dave Urschel at 219-797-2008 or Jim Jessup at 797-4407 or jimjessup@frontier.com .

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, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.

Lions give sight. 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.

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.

Our Leo Program provides the youth of the world with an opportunity for personal development through volunteering. There are approximately 144,000 Leos and 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries worldwide.

Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than US$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.

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.
