Check Out Our Lions Club!!

The Fairfield Glade Lions Club was chartered on March 22, 1976 and has grown to be one of the most active and largest clubs in Tennessee. The Lion’s Club motto is: “We serve.” We take that motto seriously. Our members are men and women who are dedicated to making our community a better place to live. We are involved in community service projects that use our time and talents to provide hands-on assistance to others such as sight and hearing screening to a large percentage of the children in Cumberland County. Our fundraising efforts allow us provide financial assistance to Lions and local charities, fund scholarships and cover the costs of our service projects. Our monthly meetings offer a time for fellowship and feature speakers involved in our community or with Lion’s Club programs. Through these experiences, members acquire new skills, cultivate lasting friendships, meet challenges head-on and learn a lot about themselves.     

If you are looking for an opportunity to help others and broaden your horizons, the Fairfield Glade Lions Club has what you are looking for. Once you join, the amount of time you commit to is your choice. We have only one dinner meeting a month on the third Tuesday from 6:00 PM until about 8:00 PM. We encourage your involvement in service and fundraising projects and other club activities, but how much time is up to your interests and availability. There are many ways to serve.
