"WE SERVE"

Hello Inquiring minds! Welcome to the Merrillville Lions Club E-clubhouse. Here, you can learn about our club. What we do? Who we are? Our history. And how to join! Feel free to contact us with any questions. So, let's start!

On October 17 (even though our Birthday is on the 21st), Merrillville Lions Club will celebrate 80 years of service to the Merrillville community. We strive to improve service to our community, state, nation and world.

Since 1946 we have been part of the Merrillville community.  The Lions are men and women who volunteer their time to conduct service projects for humanitarian causes in their local and world communities.  Through their service and fund raising projects the Lions strive to help those in need wherever the need exists.
