The Essex Lions were chartered in 1950 with a shared vision of serving our community, and for 75 years, that commitment has remained steadfast. In 2015, the Westbrook Lions merged with the Essex Lions, strengthening our ability to make an even greater impact. As the world has evolved, so too have our country, state, and town, reflecting the changes of each passing decade. Yet, our desire to serve the community has never wavered. Today’s Lions are a dynamic group of individuals from all walks of life and diverse professions, each contributing their unique strengths to the community. Together, we continue to live by the Lion’s motto: "We Serve," embodying the spirit of service and making a positive impact wherever we can. As we approach our 75th anniversary in August 2025, we celebrate the legacy of service that has defined our club and look forward to the many years of service still to come.


"We Serve."
Pam Zimmerman, President
