WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE PALMER LIONS
Eyeglasses & Eye Exams
Eye Glass/ Eye Exam Application Form
In 1925, Helen Keller attended the Lions Club International Convention and challenged the Lions to become "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness." Since then one of our main goals is eyesight and to help those who are vision impaired receive the care they need. If you need to get an eye exam or glasses please fill out the application form above.

Our Weekly Meetings
We meet every Tuesday from 12:00-1:00 at the Salvation Army Building in Palmer. You'll want to join us for our delicious catered lunch, great speakers, and of course our wonderful company and sense of humor at every meeting. We have speakers from establishments such as Alaska Farmland Trust, SAFE Families for Children Mat-Su, 4H clubs, Veteran groups, advocates for the blind, and much more.
2021 Year in Review
Even with the crazy year 2021 was, Lions were still active in our community volunteering and supporting Palmer where we could. Here are just a few of the things we did this year. For more information and areas we volunteer and serve in go to our Club Projects Page.
We continued to help prepare meals for Kids Kupboard, volunteer at the local sporting games, had members volunteering at the senior centers, and more.
We had our annual Gun Show in a new location last year at the MTA Event Center (Ice Rink) in Palmer.
We continued to work the Purple Gate at the Alaska State Fair & provide the lunch for bidders at the 4H Auction.
Palmer Lions were out doing roadway cleanups, park cleanups, and serving lunches at the local parks over the summer.
We got to meet the wonderful service dog that is now in one of our local elementary schools to help children with special needs. It helps calm students who are experiencing anxiety attacks, keep runners from running because it can sense their emotion changes, and so much more. It has been a great asset to our local school.
We prepared Personal Care Cases for people in need. These were passed out in our community as well as to other groups. Lions love working together towards causes that will help those in our community.
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.
