60 YEARS of the LION 

The Lions Club of Sayner-Star Lake has celebrated 60 plus years of active community service. The first Sayner-Star Lake Lions Club was formed in 1960 in the Village of Sayner, Town of Plum Lake, County of Vilas, State of Wisconsin and Country of the United States of America. The Lions Club of Arbor Vitae was the sponsoring club.

This represents a significant milestone for any community service organization. Lions are passionate about WE SERVE and are dedicated to continuing their work and growing over the next Lion years.

While Lions members have remained true to their commitment of service. The nature of Lions work has changed over the past 63 years. This in part because of peoples' changing lifestyles, time commitments and the increased use of technology, as well as the changing nature of community need.

Join us and see how you can be a volunteer Lion, its important. 

 Lions of 1960 and beyond

Events by the Sayner-Star Lake Lions of 1960 have shown the ever lasting dedication to this day.

Lions promoted many projects back in the those days. The volunteerism was overwhelming and those chartered members can be proud of what they created to this day.

The fundraisers include - Ice Fishing Jamborees, Ski Races both Down Hill and Cross Country at the once famous Musky Mountain Ski Hill, and a major event in 1962 was the rafflle off a land lot on Witches Lake in the Town of Plum Lake. Trying doing that today with the evaluation of property compared to the 1960’s.

Sayner-Star Lake Charter Lion’s – Walk in Their Shoes

 
Our Lions come from a variety of occupations, age groups, and interests, all in the interest of promoting community health and prosperity. The world and our community have change since organizing in 1960. Lions of 1960 cut lake ice in the winter, supported Christmas lights for the town, constructed an ice palace, and held fundraisers to support their charities.
