Millersville Lions Club Swimming Pool

Dedicated in 1961 as part of the Millersville bicentennial, the "Millersville Pool" as it is affectionately called, continues to be a place for recreation and swimming instruction for the community. It is also The Club's largest source of income for its charities. In 2024, the Club improved the Basketball/Volley ball court into a new Basketball and Pickleball court. The Pool is open annually from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day. Pool Memberships are open to the Public for a fee.

Community Day

Community Day is an event held at the Lions Club Swimming pool annually to celebrate the community and to raise money for a selected charity. Games and activities as well as a Raffle are all part of the fun. This year, the money raised goes to support the charities of the Millersville Lions Club.

On June 12, 2024 the pool closed at 5 pm in oreder for the Lion Club members to setup for the Splash Party, which started at 6 pm until 9. Members of the pool pay a $3 admission and anyone else is invited for a fee of a $5 admission. This particular night any moneys raised went towards Autism Awarness. Our next Splash Party is July 10, 2024 which all proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Reseach Foundation.

White Cane Safety Days

Lions Club International is well known for its efforts to help those who are blind or visually impaired. White Cane laws are in every state in the U.S. to provide blind persons a legal status in traffic. In October, White Cane Safety Days are held to make the people in the community more aware of the meaning of the white cane and the need for motorists to exercise special care for the person carrying it.

Ringing the Bell for the Salvation Army

The Salvation Army's annual Red Kettle campaign allows the Salvation Army to provide food, toys and clothing to people in need during the Christmas season. Members of the Millersville Lions Club volunteer to ring the bell and collect money for the Salvation Army every year in December.
