The motto of Lions Club International is "We Serve". The New Lisbon Lions participate in many projects each year of bring this motto to life. Some of our projects impact people at an individual level and others impact the community as a whole. Below is a list of our many annual projects with a brief description of each project.

• Christmas Wreath and Tree Sales - The New Lisbon Lions Club Christmas Wreath and Tree sale generally sells almost 250 wreaths and trees purchased a local Wisconsin tree grower.  We have trees for all budgets.

• Easter Egg Hunt and Breakfast - The New Lisbon Lions Club hosts an annual Easter Egg Hunt and free Pancake Breakfast for the community.  There is also the Easter Bunny and prizes for the kids.

• Eye Transport - Transporters of Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin (LEBW) transport boxes of eye tissue from various pickup and drop-off locations. Transporters (Lions’ members) relay boxes of tissue from different pickup/drop-off locations to the LEBW office in Madison, Wisconsin, or outbound to surgical centers, ready for transplant.

• Fish Boils - Twice a year, the New Lisbon Lions Club hosts a Door County style Fish Boil featuring a full cod dinner with sides plus a cash bar and door prizes.

• Kringle Sales - Everyone loves a Wisconsin Kringle and did you know that the Kringle is the official state pastry of Wisconsin?  The New Lisbon Lions Club sponsors this annual fundraising event for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

• Native American Burial Mounds Park Maintenance - The Park is located near the shore of the Lemonweir river on the outskirts of New Lisbon and is part of the National Register of Historic Places. This well-preserved group consists of 3 conical, 2 linear mounds, one dumbell (technically short compound, or chain mound) and one panther effigy mound. 

• Ramp Building - For over 15 years, the New Lisbon Lions Club has been designing, building and installing accessibility ramps at the residences of our neighbors with various physical challenges at no charge to the individuals or families.  If you are in need of this type of service, feel free to contact Lion Marty Gillan at mgillan71488@gmail.com

• Roadside Cleanup - The New Lisbon Lions Club volunteers to remove trash, recyclables and litter from some of the roadside areas within the New Lisbon community.  This helps reduce litter along our local roadsides and enhances the environment and beauty of the New Lisbon area.  The cleanup is done twice a year.

• Stuff the Bus - The New Lisbon Lions Club organizes the annual "Stuff the Bus" school supply drive that provides free school supplies to students and teachers in the New Lisbon school district.

• Wa Du Shuda Days Food Stand - Wa Du Shuda is an annual summer festival for the city of New Lisbon.  The New Lisbon Lions Club runs the food stand, selling brats, burgers, hot dogs and many other items.  The term Wadu Shuda means “rest your canoe here,” which traces back to New Lisbon’s original Ho-Chunk Heritage. 

Local Scholarships and Donations - All these projects, and others that may occur benefit the local New Lisbon community.  The funds are shared locally through donations to local causes, events, school drives, food pantry, playground equipment, etc...  Scholarships are also provided to graduating high school stidents and donations to other local individuals as provided as needed.

We also support statewide, national and global Lions causes with the funds generated by these projects.
