Since Helen Keller challenged Lions International to help the blind and hearing impaired in 1925, Lions Clubs have made this their prime concern. Doylestown Lions have carried on work
supporting their mission.

There are usually enjoyable educational
programs at regular meetings which include guest
speakers. We always set aside dates for spouse
activities such as Christmas and Valentine dinners, occasional trips, and our Annual Charter
Brunch to install our officers for the next year.
We distribute 100% of all monies
generated by our activities to local charities.

weeks of the month. The first at the American Legion combines board and regular meeting with no dinner and the second at the Plumsteadville Inn
Restaurant with dinner at your own cost. We understand how little spare time people have these days, so we keep the meetings at an absolute minimum. Regular meetings and work sessions are well planned by the President of the club insuring brevity.
We focus on service. Our Lions motto is "We
Serve".

people. The camaraderie that comes with working
toward a common good alongside fellow Lions can
