Club Projects
Community Ice Cream Sales - This has been an ongoing event in the community. Our Ice Cream trailer is a familiar site to everyone in our community at many of the Saline Area events. Our sales are planned by a small committee over several months prior to the events and requires many volunteers, as well as community business involvement. The Ice Cream is the finest and is served in extra large helpings. We even have developed our own flavor, Nutty Mocha which has become a favorite in the community. It is sold in Saline at Busch's Grocery and it produced locally by Stucchi's. Our Ice Cream sales have been very well received by the community,
Sight and Hearing help for Saline- Since it started the Saline Area Lions Club has taken an active role in protecting the health of those in the Saline area. Through our service programs related to sight and hearing assistance, we have transformed the lives of many of children and adults in the Saline area. We offer consistent access and critical sight and hearing solutions to the most vulnerable members of our community who are uninsured or under insured.

Many High School students have competed and won a Saline Lions Club Scholarship and report ot us regularly about school and what they are doing with their degrees to help others once they graduate.
