The Lakeland Lions Club is one of the oldest Lions Clubs in Western Tennessee and a great supporter of our community. Lakeland Lions not only support the National and International Lions projects aimed at Blindness Prevention, Assistance for the Blind, Disaster Relief, Diabetes, and Childhood Cancer but also are of significant importance to our local community.
Lakeland Lions provide monetary and volunteer support to our local schools and local sight oriented education institutions. This is a total of 14 different learning centers and includes some surrounding schools.
The Lakeland Lions Club has been officially and publicly recognized by the Shelby County School Board and City of Lakeland officials for the depth and breadth of their support to the Lakeland and Shelby County communities.
We volunteer at most Lakeland city events. These include the Fall/Halloween Festival, Christmas Tree Parade and anything else the city needs.
We have built two park pavilions and provided play equipment for several playgrounds. At the International Harvester Park clubhouse we replaced the floor and funded needed repairs and any other items needed.
The main source of revenue to fund our activities are Pecan Sales throughout the holiday season. You may support the Lakeland Lions activities by purchasing our pecans at the Trustmark Bank, Lakeland Cleaners, and many other local businesses in Lakeland, Arlington and Collierville. If you own a local business and would like to support the Lions activities by selling pecans on our behalf, please contact us.
The Lakeland Lions meet once per month (at the moment). On the 3rd Tuesday of the month, we meet at Bryan Realty, 9757 Market Green Place S (in Lakeland Town Square), Lakeland, TN 38002.
Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.
