A PROUD PAST
The Oxford Lions Club was chartered in July, 1951 by 44 men of the Oxford Community. In the club’s first 10 years we sponsored Boy Scout Troop 211, built a skating rink adjacent to Town Hall and added some picnic benches and a slide for local children. Our club sponsored the Covington club. We organized Oxford’s first volunteer fire department and purchased the first fire truck. We built the David Burson Scout Lodge. We also promoted a house numbering system for Oxford and installed historical markers around town.
Our annual Pancake Supper and Community Calendar projects provide some of the funds to support our service projects. At Palmer Stone Elementary every year we award bicycles to students who have made the most academic improvement. In 2006 we began presenting the July 4th Parade and Celebration for the City of Oxford.
A GREAT FUTURE
The Oxford Lions Club is a group of men and women of all ages and backgrounds who enjoy the fun and fellowship of working together in service to the
community and the world.
Lions are an international network of 1.3 million men and women in 205 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world.
