Who We are
- The Council Bluffs Club was organized June 6, 1921 when DeVere Watson, who was in the state legislature heard about Lions Internationl and decided there needed to be a club in Council Bluffs and recruited some business friends to join him in forming a club. We have been an active club since then.
