Lions Club International officially chartered the Town of Sheboygan Lions Club on June 22, 2003. The philosophy of the Lions Club is "WE SERVE". The charter members decided that we use this philosophy to provide our major services and funds that we raise to the Town of Sheboygan Fire Department, Town of Sheboygan First Responders and to the Town of Sheboygan Firehouse Park.
To achieve our yearly fundraising goals, we have biannual Brat Frys at Miesfelds, we sell Roses and Flowers for Mother's Day, we sponsor annual Glowball Golf Tournaments at Town and Country Club and .our major fundraiser is Lions Fest, which is held on the first Friday night and Saturday after the 4th of July at Firehouse Park in the Town of Sheboygan.
The funds we raise throughout the year'are shared in.ourcommunity between the following groups: .
· Town of Sheboygan Fire Department
· Town of Sheboygan Firehouse Park
· Town of Sheboygan First Responders
· Explorers Post #9999
· Sheboygan Area School District Recreation Department
· College Scholarships for Town of Sheboygan High School Students
· Various local groups and individuals with needs
Funds are also provided through our State and International Lions Programs to:
· Leader Dogs for the Visually Impaired
·White Cane Program .
· Lions Foundation
· Lions Camp at Rosholt, Wisconsin
· International Emergency Relief
In our first seven years, our club has raised over $25,000 to be used in the above areas. Our 2010 and 2011 Lion's Fest raised enough money for our club to donate the necessary Town of Sheboygan to help build a storage shed at Firehouse Park. (see photo above) We are continually looking for new ways to raise money to improve our community. We welcome anyone who is interested in joining our growing club to attend one of our monthly meetings. We meet
at Town and Country Club Restaurant at 6PM on the first Monday of each month. Please feel free to join us and we would be glad to tell you more about the Lions and how "WE SERVE". If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Art Kleine @ 920-467-8616 or via email -bkleine25@charter.net.
