The Prez Sez:

WE SERVE 

    Such simple words, but together they function as the core motive of the Calumet City Lions Club. While we celebrate our success during the 2017-2018 year, let's look forward to this New Year with enthusiasm and purpose as we continue to serve the needs of the people in our community and to improve the lives of those around us. Last year I had the privilege of participating in several of the service events our club offers and saw firsthand the impact that the Calumet City Lions Club has on the community in which it serves. One of the best things I have done is accept an invitation by my friend, Lion Christa Kelly, to join this organization. There is no greater, fun-loving group of people out there and I am grateful to be a part of the Calumet City Lions Club!

     We've got a busy schedule ahead as we kick off another year of community service. Be active! Participate! Get involved! You'll be glad you did! See you soon!

      A "Tourney FORE Sight"

What a great day of fun in the sun. Lion Chuck's second annual "Tourney FORE Sight" was a huge success, thanks to lots of hard work and pre-planning and a host of volunteers. Sighted and visually-challenged golfers tackled a nine-hole layout at Lincoln Oaks with varying degrees of success. They got to know each other a little better and learned how to ask for help and how to provide assist-ance. It was a win-win! Check out the video by clicking on the link below:
