The Eden Prairie Lioness Lions Club Welcomes You!
The Eden Prairie Lioness Lions Club was originally formed in January of 1974 by the wives of Eden Prairie Lions Club members. In 1975, Lions Clubs International recognized these auxiliary groups and the Lioness’ became united under one name, one banner, one emblem and one constitution. On April 1, 2021, we organized as a separate Lions International Club offering our members more chances for participation and growth within the Lions International organization. As an independent club we will have representation at conventions, have the right to seek leadership positions at the district, regional, national and international levels.
