ABOUT OUR CLUB AND WHAT WE DO
The Amity Township Lions Club was founded in March 1949 and included 26 Charter Members. Over the past six decades our Club has been the leader in community service.
We meet the first and third Wednesday of each month at the Monarch Fire Company at 7:00 for a dinner meeting.
