WHO ARE THE SCOTTSBURG LIONS
We have proudly served the Scottsburg and Scott County community for over 90 years!
Our members are very different in many ways, but we share a core belief - our community is what we make it. That's because we help where help is needed. In short, We Serve.
Here are some of the things our club has done to serve the needs of our community:
- Invested over $60,000 by providing scholarships to deserving Scottsburg High School graduating seniors through the DQ Reid Scottsburg Lions Club Memorial Scholarship program
- Built shelter houses for the Scottsburg Parks & Recreation Dept
- Building of the Kids Place Center and local YMCA
- Teamed up with the local United Way to help build shelters and ramps for the disabled
- Assisted in the acquisition of leader dogs for those who have lost their sight
- Provided manpower for the clean-up, rebuilding and reforestation (planting over 500 trees!) of the Henryville area after devastating tornadoes struck the area
- Developed a partnership with Scott County School District 2 (SCSD2) school nurses to provide eye exams and eyeglasses for the less fortunate
- Assisted the local Little League organization by sponsoring a team and donating money for field improvements
- Provided financial support to make the Dolly Parton Imagination Library available to all SCSD2 students
- Collect used eyeglasses for the Lions Recycle for Sight Program
