ESSEX LIONS
Chartered August 1915
Serving Our Community with Pride
Founded in 1950, the Essex Lions Club has a long-standing tradition of serving our community with dedication and heart. Strengthened by the 2015 merger with the Westbrook Lions, we continue to expand our reach and adapt to the changing world around us—while remaining true to our mission.
Today, our club is a dynamic group of individuals united by a shared commitment to service. Guided by the Lion’s motto, “We Serve,” we honor our legacy and look ahead with enthusiasm to the many opportunities to make a positive impact in the years to come.
