3rd Oldest Still Actively Serving Club in the Lions District 4C1
A Little About Ourselves:
For over 85 years the club has brought the words and missions of Lions Clubs International to the small community of Etna thats seated in the tranquil landscape of the secluded Scott Valley in Siskiyou County. We have been champions of vision care and assistance since Helen Keller herself challenged Lions many years ago.
We have also been there to assist in ways to combat Diabetes and support those affected by the disease.
We also have two other Pillars in Lions overall that have been adopted in the last several years, those are combating hunger and Environmental Protection. We as a club are seated in the amazing creation that is Siskiyou County, a area rich in environmental diversity and the perfect area for projects under that umbrella. We also are in an area where hunger is at an all time high and we support those who fight hat hunger everyday.
Where those are our Pillars of Service overall we also do, as every club does, our own unqiue projects and events custom to what our people need.
We hope you will join us in this ever evolving journey and our missions and help us continue to serve the community. We have been around exactly 87 years and we want to be around for many many more years. But we cannot do that without the help of the community and its residents. So if you want to be a member, a supporter, partner or volunteer we will take all the help we can get.
