Exeter Area Lions Club members are men and women of all ages and backgrounds. Becoming a member does not mean attending every meeting, but more a willingness to help out when help is needed, especially with our activities and fund-raisers.
As members, Lions not only help those in need, but also help themselves grow and develop strong personal friendships, and gain valuable leadership skills. Join us and become an active member of your community!
If you're interested in becoming a member, or would like more information, e-mail us, or send us a message on our Facebook page.
