A brief history of GILC..

• In the beginning, the Seven Oaks Lions Club (SOLC) was formed, via a sponsorship by the Lexington Lions Club. SOLC was Chartered March 31, 1967. Our 30th Anniversary Charter Night event was held in 1997.
• In July 2011, the Saint Andrews LC (SALC) and the Greater Columbia LC (GCLC) merged with SOLC.
• SOLC later changed it's name to the Greater Irmo Lions Club (GILC) through an LCI letter, dated October 2, 2013 that was sent to, then Club President, Tom England..

Of interest to Lions, in general, is GILC's Roster of Presidents, a chronology of our leaders since the club's beginning in 1967.
