Monocacy Lions Club
The Monocacy Lions Club was chartered in 1940 with 24 members. Since then the club has grown dramatically; with current membership at 55 members. Members are drawn from the communities of Barnesville, Beallsville, Boyds, Comus, Darnstown, Dickerson, Poolesville and the surrounding region of Western Montgomery County.
